I would love to ride one of those Goldwings with a RDL on it. Always been curious how they ride period. I like the look of the bike and I really like the new bagger version they are coming out with this year.

Installed today
Picked my seat up from the Post Office yesterday. It made it back from Shasta Lake a couple of days quicker than the trip out. Who knew that it would be quicker via Quebec? Installed the seat and it feels comfortable. Unfortunately I was busy today so didn't get out for a ride. Might have to wait until March now as the temperature is dropping again. I will attempt to add a couple of pictures here.
Thanks Mike!!! |

I see you went with the basket weave. Very nice! What kind of bike is that? Let's see a full bike shot. I like the color...

I thought it was a BMW, but didn't know which model.

Box arrived today.
Took a Beemer to Hyder, Alaska a couple of years ago. Am hoping to take the DR further north one day so getting it ready a bit at a time. Thanks, Mike!

Hi Scornay
The cases and brackets are from Caribou Cases. I had them on my 650GS and then got new brackets when I switched them over to the 1200GS. I've had them about five years now. Tolfan |

My wife reported that a large box was delivered from Russell today. I look forward to checking it out when I get home tonight. Will post pics of our new seat as soon as I am able.

I installed my seat tonight in the garage and took the bike out for a brief spin down the road while underdressed for the low temps. NICE! It's installed on a 2012 Suzuki DL650 V-Strom Adventure. Sorry for the low quality phone pic. I'll try to get some better shots tomorrow in the sunlight.
This seat is a 2-up with half-moon stitching and basketweave insert on the top. The basketweave blends well with the carbon look of the plastic side panels, imho. Thanks again, Mike! I really apreciate your efforts in organizing the group buy and welcoming a few of us "outsiders" to join the fun.
