I've been down this road as well. I'm getting a Russell day long as an early Christmas present. I am only getting the drivers and backrest though.

Chuck - I did not think you could get that combo (driver + backrest). I thought to get the back rest you had to get the passenger seat as well.

The Russell backrest bracket slides into the pillion pan unless they've come out with a solo seat / backrest combination recently. They did not have this option ~ 1 year ago. I called Russell asking for another KawaNOW member and the rep stated you had to have the Russell pillion in order to have the rider backrest option.

I haven't called them on it yet. I did call Ultimate, and you can get a solo drivers seat with the backrest built in. If I can't get the Russell in a solo setup with a backrest, I'll be going Ultimate.

I'll call Russell on monday and let you all know what they say.

i'm kind of a big fan of corbin seats. ive had 6 of them, one mustang, and a travelcade road sofa. mike corbin invented the bike seat. it is very firm, but for the 600 mile + rides it is the best for me. i rode my corbin on my v-star 1300 from st. louis to memphis and back for a lunch buffett and had no problems. if anyone has one they want to unload for an 08 nomad pm me. corbins theory is it's like a metal tractor seat that gives total support. the seat on my old ferguson was made to spend a day in, in the fields. total buttle support. lol.
