Just wanted to let you guys know that I upgraded my seat to the Russell day long.
The seat sits higher about 1".
what a difference this seat makes while riding all day.
The stock honda seat was a pain in my rear and I had to stop frequently.
The russell day long seat is very comfortable and I have no problems riding hours upon hours.
Made a adventure trip from san francisco to Alaska. My partner has a custom seat on his bmw gs.
I outrode him. My butt did not hurt and my back was fine.
i was going to trade up to a africa twin, but after upgrading to the russell day long seat i decided to keep her.
 
Would you mind stating the length of your inseam? I found the Russell Daylong Seat impossible to use with my 32 inch inseam, but I suspect it work well for people with longer inseams. Just wanted to prove or disprove my theory.
 
@670... Back when I upgraded to a Russell seat, I made up a link to lower the rear about an inch, slipped the fork tubes up about the same amount. I love the Russell and have a 29-30 inseam. I can almost flat foot both sides...

Thanks for the info. My problem was not in reaching the ground, but the seat to footpeg relationship. The somewhat rearward peg position on the NC (relative to a more forward position on a touring bike), coupled with the wide wings of the Russell, made the Russell uncomfortable for me in riding position. Lowering the bike would not have helped in my case.

i have a 32" inseam. I do admit its harder to stop and stand still at the stop light. Riding wise it is nice.
