    I can believe that just by the short little run I did. It is the difference of riding on the bike and riding within the bike. I want to see that dancing video, also nothing better than drunken karaoke videos if ya got em. I can see you 3 sheets to the wind singing "Sweet Caroline"

    There is no better seat made than a Russell day long. And their customer service is also second to none.

    Thanks for that info Larry!
    Indeed you seat would be huge for me, I was more looking for something like 2" higher and 2" backwards.

    I might also look into the Ultimate King seat. The fact that I live in Europe doesnt make it easy; high shipping cost and not easy to return if it needs to be sent back for some (minor) modification.
    This and then the Helibars are on my list. Fall/winter is gonna be expensive...

    Additional observations Russell Day Long

    Further riding on the RDL I have noticed that, naturally, I'm sitting higher so more of a view over the MRA X-CREEN and because I am further up and back I am using the stock foot pegs much more. The sitting position on the stock seat just made it too uncomfortable, too crouched, to use them so I would rely on the Ergo II Pegs to keep my legs extended enough to be comfortable. Now it is not crouched at all and using the stock pegs is no problem whatsoever.

    As well with the Ultimate seat. I noticed the that I seemed to have better control of the bike, once I was sitting a little higher.

    Agreed, I equate it to no longer riding on the bike but within it. Between the torque, throttle response, and now, seating position it is the most intuitive bike I've ever owned.
