I have the Russell Day Long and am happy with it.

It is wider than stock but also sits you a bit higher.

You can get it with a rider backrest which was very important to me.

Complete redo on front seat, add rider back rest and just recover rear seat was just under 700 plus shipping, another 100 to redo passenger seat.

Triumph gel units work well and are cheap by comparison with most if not all the opposition.

I fabricated lowering brakets for the passenger pegs out of some 1" angle. They look like an "L" and lower the pegs 3".
My wife finds the ride much more comfortable and likes not having to bend her knees at such a sharp angle.

I also had Rick Mayer redo both seats and am very pleased with both the appearance and comfort of the seats.

I made some brackets out of aluminum flat bar. i cut grooves in the back with a mill to correspond to the ridges in the footpeg brackets and bolted the footpegs on the lower end. It moves the footpeg brackets down and forward, and my wife likes it much better. If fact, she will not ride the stock setup I will try to post a picture.
