| | Posted : 01 Sep 2013 - 22:23 Post title : Day Long seats | | | Alright. Thanks guys for leading in the right direction. I decided to go with Day Long seats. I have to send them my measurements and get everything ready.
My question is has anybody had experience with them? Any tips? The guy sounded cool over the phone. Looks like they do quality work. Thanks in advance.

But I can say it was an awesome seat! Extremely comfortable, not a great sport riding seat as it had a great pocket for your rear that gave you a wedgie if you tried to hang a cheek off it, but the best touring saddle I've had, and I've had quite a few bikes, a couple of Corbins, and a Sargent seat mixed in.

Dude. That seat!!! Rock on!! Now, did you give them a long haul seat? A solo seat? I want to give them a solo and have them put on a 2 up. What do you recommend?

I like that. I'll probably end up getting the 2up later down the road. Cool. How long did yours take? Whole process?

Was it a 2 up seat you had originally or did you give them a solo seat and convert it to a 2 up?

Send it to me as well, and I'll reduce and post for you, as I'd also like to see it (and I'm sure others would as well).

Thanks for sharing them. Not sure if it's the aesthetic look I'm after, but, wow, it sure looks comfy! How's it feel?

Wife has fallen asleep in passenger seat.
Definitely an all day seat
Sometimes we have to sacrifice looks for functionality and peace and quiet from the wife
Need I say more?
