Hope to have mine by Saturday (today hopefully) and maybe to Sunday morning as well. Perhaps we can all play our radios real loud on rides
Will provide RT riders with cushions on chairs at the tuning day......GS riders are comfortable standing apparently

G'day there.
I'm only a newbie myself (here, anyway),
I ride an RT too. (Well, I will as soon as it arrives from the USA

... sometime in June.)
Meanwhile, here it is in all its ... glory:
[Sigh] Counting down the days ...

Ummm... those seats are illegal in WA. You better swap it with my GSA seat when your bike gets here. I know, I know... I'm too generous.
Always looking to help out others...
BTW - if anyone else makes this offer to you, don't trust them

Hell! I didn't know that!!
They're great seats ... in August 2008, when we did a tour of the USA N-W on that bike (5115 km in 11 riding days), we did one day of almost 700 km (that's two-up) ... and I slept well that night (martinis help), but could still get up next morning without pain and do it all again. Three hours without getting off was too long; but two-and-a-half was fine. It's a Sargent seat (unheated) ... current price is ~$690USD.
