Stache Posted May 26, 2011 Share #1 Posted May 26, 2011 I've just pulled the trigger on the complete set, plus the passenger armrests. Should be here in a couple of days. I liked the reviews, and I like that it's Canadian made. When my wife finds out I've spent considerably more $ on a machine I justified purchasing on the savings in fuel costs, there may be blood in the water. Ah well. Maybe if I explain that the new seat and arm rests are to make it more comfortable for her to ride with me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, Just Dale Posted May 26, 2011 Share #4 Posted May 26, 2011 That's the same logic I used when I bought the RSV. It worked out well for me ! I said "It's already got everything I need on it" ....which was about 15 additonal purchases ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilvrT Posted May 26, 2011 Share #5 Posted May 26, 2011 I don't say anything when the wife goes out and spends $150 on makeup, etc, gets her pedicures and manicures and, and, and.... and she doesn't say anything to me when I buy more bling for the bike. We have an unspoken "Agreement". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stache Posted May 30, 2011 Author Share #7 Posted May 30, 2011 Arrgggghhhh! flipping UPS. :headache: My seat's been stalled in Dieppe NB since Saturday Morning. It was working out so perfectly too. The DW is away on business until Friday so as long as it gets here by then I can get everything installed before she gets back. Come on UPS - dispatch the flipping parcel! Also not sure why I needed a Export Scan on a parcel travelling from Ontario to Newfoundland??? Arrgggghhhh! flipping UPS. :headache: Dieppe, NB, Canada 05/28/2011 6:25 The package was not dispatched Mirabel International Airport, QC, Canada 05/28/201 12:35 Arrival Scan Mount Hope, ON, Canada 05/28/2011 1:25 Departure Scan Mount Hope, ON, Canada 05/27/2011 23:12 Export Scan 05/27/2011 22:45 Arrival Scan Concord, ON, Canada 05/27/2011 21:43 Departure Scan 05/27/2011 19:49 Origin Scan Canada 05/27/2011 16:24 Order Processed: Ready for UPS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stache Posted June 1, 2011 Author Share #8 Posted June 1, 2011 It's here!!!!! First impressions review: 1. arrived well packaged with each piece neatly wrapped in bubble wrap. 2. easy install. Clear complete directions with each piece. only 2 concerns: a. the bracket for the rear seat must be removed and replaced by a supplied mount. I would have been happier if the existing bracket had been used. b. had a little difficulty getting the front mount holes on the rider's seat to line up. The judicious application of 260 lbs fixed that. 3. Backrest adjustment - simple and sturdy. 4. Comfort - only had a chance for a short ride, but I can tell immediately that it's far and above the stocker. I'll take a longer run this saturday and post my impressions, but so far I'm happy with the purchase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myminpins Posted August 15, 2011 Share #9 Posted August 15, 2011 What did you buy? I'm looking for good armrests, too!!! I've just pulled the trigger on the complete set, plus the passenger armrests.

phertwo Posted August 15, 2011 Share #11 Posted August 15, 2011 I'm not sure if its the same as an RSTD, but I really like the new bracket for the passenger seat. I can take off the passenger seat in 30 seconds for a solo rider look. Love my Ultimate seat, it makes you sit up straight more than the stock seat which is better for posture. I never feel discomfort on my rear anymore. Its well worth the money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
