I purchased my RX3 in Nov. thinking I was going to keep it crated until spring, but the weather has been great so now with over 600 smiling miles on her she is just great.

Just riding around for about 3 hours yesterday started to get brutal on the back side. I know it's hard foam and needs to break in, but in the hot sun, the material was really stretchy and was gripping my jeans. I'm thinking sheep skin or something like that.

I checked the CSC website - the talls are out of stock. Sent Ryan an email asking when they would be replenished. Im guessing with as uncomfortable as the seat is and the volume of sales they are not in stock long! I hate the idea of buying an Airhawk and 155 and then turning around later and just getting the Seat Concepts tall set. . . at least that's my thinking.

EDITED: Ryan fired back an email. The website has been updated and the seats are back in stock !

The stock seat sucks! That's the only thing that sucks about the bike. Some folks have bought airhawks, others have bought gel. I was just thinking to have the seat reupholstered. A few folks at work have used a company out of NJ, called Pirate Upholstery. http://www.pirateupholstery.com/

They will ask you for your height, weight and other info like whether or not you have lower back issues or not. Then they customize the padding for you. Only issue for me, is my husband and I both ride the bike. So, I will probably need 2 seats or 2 RX3s lol.

Does Ryan have a direct email there? I emailed the "contact us" on the website last week and have yet to hear back.

2lz, try

Rob,

Now that 2LZ has the email address, I suggest you delete it from you post.

Otherwise, I think it's possible the spambots might seize the email address, and deluge ryan with spam.
