Is anyone out there using his saddle? How do you like it? How is the build quality, etc.? I have the stock and the "comfort" seat, but still find the support lacking after a long ride. I had a Russell on my RT, but don't really want to spend the big bucks, so I am looking at RMC.
Any info would be great.

I have a 04 1150r and the first part to get changed was the seat.
I ordered a Rick Mayer seat in leather.
I sent my pan in and got the finished product back in three weeks
Ive put 19000 miles on with several 600 mile days . I weigh 175
and couldnt be happier

I had a russell and curently have a Rick Mayer. I would and will get the russell next time. I am not saying R Mayers are bad. But nothing has come close to the Russell.

I have an 04RT and have a Rick Meyer saddle and I think it an excellent choice to replace the stock saddle. I don't care who made your saddle after about 9 hours on the road siting on a motorcycle your body is going to become just plain tired pure and simple. At the end of the day my knees begin to pain me and my back and especially my shoulders are beginning to ache. Same thing is true when sitting in a car or at a desk for long periods. Just a fact of life or nature.

I'm a big fan of the Rick Meyer saddle. I made an appointment to go up there and have him build it to my own personal fundament (for me, it's just a three-hour ride), and have been delighted with the result ever since. Build quality is excellent, and comfort first-rate.
