RDL lead time

[2wheelsforme]

If you are thinking about a RDL seat you need to think well into the future. Just got my production date and it is more than four months out. Oh well!

When the brown Santa brings it though it'll be worth all the wait. If you want to speed it up you could always do a ride-in if you feel adventurous.

Bummer, I was hoping to be sitting on one before the end of the summer. Anticipation .........

[Walcrow]

Just do it now, Rick. You'll be on it by end of June..............

Does the back rest come off easily? I'm not sure I want to use a back rest all the time on short rides.

[Walcrow]

Yep. Push the backrest down all the way towards the front of the seat and it slides out the recessed slot. Takes about 2 seconds.

You can get the rear seat to look just like the front but I opted for just the bucket in the front. It costs more to do the rear seat like the front. Russell does the rear like mine for no up charge.

Great, thanks for the tour looks really good. I rarely ride two up so will have nothing done extra to the back. Going to give them a call today to see if they need pictures to get a date set.

Then it will probably look like mine although you can see if they have other standard pattern options. You'll be one happy camper when it arrives.

Tav,

Am I seeing things or is there red pinstriping on the rear throttle bag side in one shot and not there in the other or is the LSD from the 70's kicking in again.

Your oxycontin stash is getting low!! .............You're not nuts YET.......Added the pin striping after the Russell arrived last summer. Jury is still out.

Whew, I thought it was going to be another long night of dancing teapots and never-ending spirals, the pin striping looks swanky keep it.

Ya have to love those 68 flash backs.
I seem to get them every time I standup too fast.
Which is why I always standup 3 or 4 times to make sure.

As long as I have the Allman's Fillmore East around I'm good

RDL has several, not a lot, of different patterns. There's lots of photos on there site. Check them out for some great ideas. They do custom stitching too. They stitched a perfect Yamaha logo in my back rest for my 1700 Road Star. Just got my 3rd RDL.

I live in Rockwall Texas and if possible would like to come by and see this seat.

Then you should have it by the end of July or sooner. The production date is when they start, not ship it. Try to keep your butt's heart rate down !!

[VStarRider]

If a production date is on, for example, July 10, when does one need to send their stock seat in to get it to RDL on time?

[2wheelsforme]

I'm sure it depends on what shipper you use. USPO, UPS, or maybe Fed X. Best to ask them. I have an extra seat will do plenty early.
