That is a good price.
You didn't like it or did you get rid of the bike?

[jp58]

Love the seat. Traded bike in. I have lots of parts on here for sale.

Is that just the front seat? Looks like a stock passenger seat.

[jp58]

Yes the add says rider seat. I will edit to make more clear. Thanks

You should also put in your height and weight so that people know what size person the seat was made for.

[jp58]

HwyRider. I added that. Thanks.

Unless you send Daylong an imprint of your ass or specify exactly what you desire in the build I doubt that the seats are made much differently from person to person.
Sending them photos of you and your passenger on the bike cant really give them that much information in my opinion.

I was thinking the same thing.

They do look amazingly comfortable although very over priced. 1000.00 seat is unreasonable and out of reach for most of your average riders imo. I have never seen one of these in the flesh which tells me they aren't selling nearly as many as the competition. This must be due to cost because it seems everyone who has one loves them. Of course if I spent that much on a seat, I would tell everyone I loved it even if I hated it. I'm waiting for the right used one to show up for sale.

I don't know who sells more but based on participating on 3 different forums RDL has the highest percentage of satisfied customers. I suspect it's because of their patented design. Support around the rim is different than most.

There are ways to keep the cost similar to Mustang and Corbin. Remember the true net cost of a seat is what you pay for it minus what you sell it for, not to mention which one gives your butt the best pay back.

When I owned my Nomad my butt hurt like heck for over 4 years. If I had to do it all over again I would have bought an RDL when I first got the bike.
Used ones are hard to come by and no guarantee it will fit you.

This is not to say that a Mustang or Corbin will not be as comfortable for someone but I think the chances or lower.

I paid $675 for driver, passenger and backrest from RDL and it's the best money I've spent on my bike. Hands down no comparison.

Jp58. Would it take much modification to fit this to my 06 or are there to many differences in the mount up? Are the seat pans much different?

My stocker feels like I'm riding on a cinder block and I've been through 2 back surgeries so I really want ( need ) one of these but I'm unable to afford a new one.

If it would have fit my 08 Nomad I would have owned it by now

There is absolutely no reason why anyone should be unhappy with the Daylong seat. If you have a issue all you need to do is call them and they will alter the seat for you. If after a couple of try's to get the seat right and it still doesn't work for you they will buy it back. Mine had issues when I first got it but one trip back to Russell and all is well. Money well spent in my opinion.

I don't doubt your testimony. I'm just trying to talk myself past the price. I went through this 3 years ago with a mattress purchase but I bit the bullet and spent 1500.00 for a mattress and box springs and it too was worth every penny and then some. I sleep like a baby now.

I love to ride. One might say I need to ride...so maybe, just maybe.... I'll give them a call.
