Russell day-long

One main thing to consider on a new seat is how long are you going to ride the bike? Both distance and time. I've been riding an ST1100 for over 25 years. The seat easily transfers bike to bike (6 different 1100s). I also ride 2 other bikes and they have Russell seats also. I intended to ride the ST for touring. I tried other seats, an AirHawk, a sheep skin and the sheep skin on the AirHawk. After spending equivalent or more trying to not buy a Russell, I bought a Russell. Three were great right out of the box and the other 2 felt right after 500-600 miles.

When you first sit on a Russell, very few people will exclaim how wonderful it feels. Probably more of a "meh" as they wonder what all the hype is about. It's when you reach your destination and the last thing on your mind is that your butt doesn't hurt.
All I needed to hear, ty much
 
Aside from seat position try an Airhawk.


Your daily time in the saddle in low and the Airhawk, or other similar knockoffs, offers significantly increased comfort at minimal cost.
