If you don't know about Russell seats then click this link: http://www.day-long.com/new_pages/testimonials.html

This seat is in excellent condition. The only blem I can find is one small nick on the front right edge. $250 plus shipping. US only because I hate customs forms. No PayPal, USPS money order only.

I'd use it myself but I have a 34" inseam which makes it a tight fit for my knees on my LT but it should work fine for someone with a shorter inseam.

I have a 30 inch inseam. Would this be taller than a corbin? Don't think it would jam my knees into the fairing.

carp,
I got one like it off ebay several months ago. Love the seat compared to the corbin of some sort I had. Not sure what it was called but looked like all the rest I've seen in pics. Rock hard.
I think the russel is slightly lower. I wear 30" inseam jeans. The seat I have is OK for knee room--depending on riding pant knee pad thickness. Perfect world I would want the position set slightly back but not at new price.
I think it is a good deal and you would be happy with the comfort (shilling for Duck)
Several 1K-2K trips made me like it more. My rear is no longer an issue. Need hi-way pegs to relieve knee pain...but that's another story.
Just my 2c.
Mike

I still have a russell from an R80RT that I had. That seat was great for the passenger, but a little short as well for the driver. I did like it over all. Seems the corbins give the driver plenty of space, but not as good for passenger. I have 30 inch inseam so thanks for the info. Its possible my wife would want to ride more - which is the larger purpose for getting one. She slides forward on the corbin which doesn't have enough padding for her.

Would you be willing to get me measurement on wing tip to wing tip and from the nose of the seat to the back of the driver seat? I am very interested.

Both rider and passenger seating areas are about 14" long and 18" wide.

After a chat with my wife, she says that it isn't the corbin seat thats the problem, she just doesn't like sitting and not moving for more than an hour. I will ask her again after the next time we ride. If she complains at all about the seat I will buy if you still have it.
