One last question, I did not see on the ST-owners site. Do you know if there is a backrest that will work with the Russell?

Subject: [Nighthawk Lovers] Re: ST1300 that for me. Ron, I have Corbin on my Nighthawk and the Russell Day Long on the ST1100. I purchased mine on eBay for about $150 including shipping to Hawaii - it was a great deal. The guy selling it said it was made for someone about 6 feet tall and I'm 6'2' and a half so I took the risk. It is tight - my knees are close to the fairing but it really works for my busted up shoulder. It's the one piece design and much softer than the Corbin. I also bought my Corbin on eBay. The one good discussion on the www.st-owners.com site was about upgrading the seats. Russell really works with you to build the seat the way you want it - it's just a matter of money. Is one better than the other - for really long days the Russell is very comfortable. Daily commuting I like the Corbin because I have a better feel of the bike and the road.
