[QUOTE="Fred W, post: 1072384, member: 3828"] Yep, it's a small commitment. But I disagree about not recouping the cost. Any time a Russell seat comes up for sale on this forum people are falling all over themselves to buy it. They go like hotcakes. Yes, you need to make sure it was built for someone of similar dimensions as yourself. And a true custom is better, but you can easily sell a used Russell for half of what you paid for it a couple hundred thousand miles down the road. But why would you sell it? Just put a new bike under the seat and keep riding! [IMG]https://www.fjrforum.com/forum//public/style_emoticons/default/wink.png[/IMG] As for the aesthetics, I think the half moon stitching pattern is the least objectionable Russell, but I am biased as that is what I have on my FJR (in black leather) [IMG]https://i916.photobucket.com/albums/ad4/FJWinNH/FJR1300%20Modifications/100_0381.jpg[/IMG] ...and V-strom (in black vinyl).
