Tomorrow being close to the fourth day, has anybody received a build date yet?

fammdw · 11-28-2012, 06:32 PM

I'm going to bet with the number of orders they have taken over the last three days that they are a little behind on the customary 2-4 day window. It will probably be the first of next week before they start contacting people with build dates. I think it was around a week the last time I bought one through a group.buy a couple of years ago.

Spoke with Kim today. Confirmations and build dates should be out by Friday.

Thanks for the update. It will be interesting to see where we all wind up relative to the date and time we submitted our forms. I know I submitted mine around 12:30 am PST and would hope that I would have an early production date.

Decisions, decisions...

I can't make up my mind if I want to sell my Corbin seat when the RDL arrives or hold on to it to reinstall if I ever sell or trade the Voyager. I really like my Corbin seat. So much that I originally wasn't sure I wanted to spend the money on a RDL. If I had never owned a bike with a RDL seat on it, I would have probably opted to keep the Corbin and not buy a different seat. One thing's for sure. Without the discount, I would not have bought one.

Oh well... I'll decide later. Shipped my seat to RDL yesterday. It will be there on Monday. Can't wait to get it back!

What was the turn around time they gave you?

fammdw · 11-29-2012, 03:44 PM

They didn't, but from past experience it should be one or two days then ground shipment time back to Kansas. I'm expecting it back between the 7th and 10th.

I felt the same way. My Mustang seat is fairly comfortable.
That's why I debated on buying this seat.
But I'm sure on those days when I ride 300+ miles that I'll be able to tell the difference.
I'll sell the Mustang and be looking for a stock seat buy to put back on the bike when I sell it.

I sold my Daylong seat after 3 years when I sold the Nomad. So for $100 a year I rode in comfort. Small price to pay. No sense buying a bike that will go coast to coast if you can only ride it for a couple of hours.

Called Kim this afternoon as I had not heard anything after three days. She did not have my order which I did on line on Monday morning at 7AM but she said not a problem that I would be in. We figured the pictures that I sent were too big and it is still bouncing in Cyberspace. Re sent it tonight so hopefully it went through. She told me that she hoped to notify everyone of acceptance and possible build by Monday at the latest. That is her thought. We are under way. Mike should be a shamed of himself for organizing this and MAKING me spend this money. LOL Thanks again Mike.

**ringadingh** · 11-29-2012, 09:15 PM

I ordered my seat today, again. I originally did it on Monday, and today I phoned Kim, she said to re submoit it as she didn't see the Monday order.
I'm in no hurry to get the seat back, since I'm parked for the next four months.
