Just an FYI. I traded in my R last week on a new RT. My Mayer seat had a build date of 5/15/07. I would expect that within a week or so I should be seeing it. Needless to say, I no longer have a use for it. Construction was what Rick calls a "modified solo." The drivers half done in his traditional bucket style and the rear modified with some replacement of the OE foam with a small dip in the middle to keep the passenger more planted and comfortable. The entire seat is done in leather and a rain cover is also included. I haven't settled on a price as yet, but don't expect to steal it. With the seat and rain cover, I have $570.00 invested. I will post pics when it gets back to me. PM me if you have an interest.

Guys, The very gracious Drothermel sold me his Rick Meyer seat. I have only had the chance to take it for a small ride. What I can tell so far is I like the shape of the seat , I like the lack of "stickiness" of the new seat, and I like so far the feel of the foam the thing is stuffed with. It is covered with leather. This is a new thing for me. I'll have to get a cover I guess. Wednesday the 4th I'll have a chance to ride it farther and I'll get back to you then.

Nope. I bought them on Ebay for my R1150RS - they actually look quite nice on the Roadster.. go figure. Didn't think of that..

I just got back and my new seat is alright=a-roony, lite- a-roony, tight-a-roony. I made my way into AND out of the infinitesimal monstrous soaky southern all night sled ride without so much as a whiff of a smell of a bad below the belt feeling using the new Rick Myers product. Yass Yass.
Can you tell that I have been reading Jack Kerouac?
Much better than stock. The new seat is great.
