Does anyone have a RDL seat on a Vaquero? - Page 2

Rick Mayer certainly looks like they have more reasonable prices, and lots of options. I am not sure about a driver backrest, but I am willing to work with them and see what they can come up with. I sent them a similar e-mail to see if they have any Vaquero references/picture examples of a Vaquero. We'll see.

the kawi gel seats are not good.thier seat pans are pure junk and the gel retains heat from the motor.

Sorry to be a late responder here. I had RDL rebuild the seat on my 2011 Vaquero a year ago, and the job was a total success. They do offer a guarantee which amounts to: if you don't like what we did after giving it a fair trial, we'll change it for you for free.

Thanks Bear, I will probably go that route, as I have yet to hear a bad word mentioned about RDL, I would just feel more confident spending that much coin if I could do a ride-in.
