    Great choice, here's a video I did when I first bought it comparing it to stock.

    https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=hjcwAXq3Uq8

    There is a 5% compression over time, that gets it snugly, sits you back just a little bit but you can request to stay right where you are if you like your position now. Right out of the box you'll notice the difference the ride will be effortless without fatigue in the lower back, 8-10 hours of riding are no problem. As the video states you will have to get used to moving forward when you come to a stop but after a few times it becomes second nature. This seat will change the whole ride I can't stress what a difference it will make,good luck.

    Thanks for the feedback, guys. This only solidifies my plan to get that RDL this winter. Having some lower back pains on my Indian I got rid of, and just some slight stuff on the F6b, comfort is the main thing for me. First ride on it was 400 miles and was pretty good, but I know that RDL comfort as I had one on my police bike, ridiculously good. Going to have to get this all figured out and under way.

    My RDL is very comfortable but they did put the back rest too far back.

    Rick,
    Mine was a little too far back too so I installed the smallest bead rider I could find and it worked out perfectly. Also it is useful for another thing and that is keeping air circulating around your back like it does when put on the seat. You never have to lean forward on a long ride due to sweat on your back.

    That is a good idea, thanks for the suggestion, I'll start looking for one.
