You will enjoy the saddle. No doubt about it.

They are GREAT!! I'm jealous. You will learn to slide forward just slightly when you stop,,,,, so that your feet will plant on the ground. BUT your butt will love you over time for the upgrade. My production date for my 1700 is June 7th. Wish the one on my 1500 would fit until then.

Any handy tool that you grab and throw across the garage while yelling "DAMMIT" at the top of your lungs

There is no substitute for laminar flow in which a helmet is the primary disturbance.

SO MANY ROADS,
SO LITTLE TIME.

I'm looking forward to it. I definitely could tell I need to slide just slightly forward to get my feet to touch - not used to that with my tall frame. My father in law has to think about lowering motorcycles if he wants to buy one - not I.

I think my wife is almost excited as well. She said it looks like it is going to be awesome to sit on!

Congrats.

Don't forget to circle back and give us your review after you've put a few hundred miles on it in a day.

My butt loves my RDL.

That back seat has come to be called the queens seat. They have a tendency to let the rider fall asleep while on it. I really enjoyed the one I had and am seriously considering getting one for my Indian. Enjoy as they are the best seat without question.

I have a RDL on my ST1300 and just love it.

About a month ago I bought the Wing in the picture.

The seat was made by Rich's in Seattle. So far I like it but I really haven't gone very many miles in a long stretch. I have only ridden it for a couple hours in one shot so far, which is better than the stock Nomad seat. I could only last about 45 minutes in that seat before I was hurting.

Yeah, I figured it could be comfy. Time to get a harley trunk that has the side rests. Nice little pocket for the queen to sleep in.

Will do. Looking forward to it. Problem is we just got another 9 inches of snow yesterday. A few more in the forecast on Monday
