I hear the stock seat on a RT is pretty comfy.Of course, I have now spent more on my seat than I did for my first bike

Meet some of your local ST neighbors and see what you can try. I got lucky and met a friendly local fellow that loaned me his Russel and a Spencer to try. The new bike had a Corbin on it and I have a stock.. none of them have really fit me too well so I'm going to order a Mayer and cross my fingers, read some good reviews on him.Wish they had a program where you could try before you buy.
Ordered mine via online order form, and the requisite pictures. Picked up a second hand seat to send in.I'm new to ST's, but live just outside Seattle. Friends with other bikes have had nothing but rave reviews of Rich's saddles. Since I'm close enough to ride in, they are high on my list.
I'm just wondering if there aren't more ST owners with them because they want you to ride in to be fitted? So, is it a distance thing, or is there some other reason they're not more popular with ST owners? Are they too expensive?
The Russell's, orangutang-look notwithstanding, seem pretty popular. Did most people with a Russell do it by mail instead of riding there?

Just received and installed my Sargent and first impressions are BIG improvement over my Corbin.Just ordered up a Sargent seat from a Ebay seller that allows returns within 30 days with no restock fee.
Sounds safe to me since there is no way to know if my hind quarters will be happy until I try it out.
I'll report back on the results when it arrives and I find out.
If it works like I hope, there will be another Corbin seat for sale in the classifieds
I'm about your weight, and riding an ST1300. I went with the Russell Day Long, front and rear. Pricey, but now my passenger and I can ride, literally, all day in comfort. We've done up to 500 miles together, and I've done up to 900 miles solo. If you choose the Russsell, be sure to follow their instructions. I can attest that they work. https://www.day-long.com/gallery/honda/So i got a st1100 93 knowingly that im going to have to mod a few things to fit the bike... I'm almost 6'3 230lbs what seats do some of you bigger boys like???
Yes, it will be leather. I actually ordered a Laam, didn't like it, that's when I bought the third RDL, sent the Laam back for adjustments, he made it worse, I sold the Laam a few months later. Yeah, I lost money on that one!I take from your comments accompanying your photos that the new RDL will be leather covered? I wish I'd done that with my Laam. The carbon fibre look vinyl I chose continues to be more slippery that I'd like.
