comfort in the saddle

[hobbhavnklr650]

Looking at doing a tour of my stomping grounds in Arkansas this fall, fishing all the favorite holes in the Ozarks. I would love to do it on my klr, but being in Idaho now, its too far away to do the entire trip on mine. Can you rent KLRs at dealerships or tour operators? Anyone know of an outfit that does in the general area? Thanks. Keith Idaho KLR

With the stock seat my butt hurt on every ride. Five years ago I put a Russell on my KLR and haven't had a sore butt on that bike since. Last summer I rode the KLR (with D-606 tires) from St. Paul, MN to Montana then rode the North half of the CDR and then slabbed it home and never felt discomfort in any way. In my opinion a Russell is the perfect shape for the human anatomy. After that many miles in total comfort I think they look beautiful on any bike. If anyone wants to talk about Russell seats feel free to call me 612-296-7705. > > > > Ride safe, > > > > Greg > ~~~The Russell seat on your KLR, does it have the back rest? Just wondering....
