Seeing my custom solo is a perfect fit on bike, and I have a Corbin fastgun, maybe I shld send the solo to Russell for a heavy bastard rebuild?
Seeing you are so rapt with yours...
Variety / options is the spice of life ...
Yeah, agreed and
Happiness is most folk's life goal.
And if you go that route your gonna have none
, as that process is a
REAL paln!
.
It will cost you about Au$1500 by the time you get it back.

Send yours over (Au$100), a month or two to finish (they have a backlog usually)
, and then receive it back.
The return parcel will be valued at well over Au$1000 (before including their premium rate postage/freight costs you will be forced to use). Then you wait another 3-4 weeks for Customs/Border Force to process your 10% GST tax (on item value
+ the freight/postage) + their Au$100 + fee if you do all the paperwork and research customs tariff product codes etc yourself. Otherwise add another Au$100+ fee more to use a broker
Be warned, the Au$1000 cutoff for 10% GST on import parcels/mail into Australia
INCLUDES the delivery freight/postage which is also part of the total amount charged the 10%.
They also use the exchange rates of the day they process not when you paid. How do I know all this?
The Russell DayLong Standard sprung one should be fine up to at least 265lb 120 Kg I would think.
The HD actually 230+lb (105Kg) spring is the minimum weight required to use it from their own website's info. For riders below 230lb the HD spring will not work as effectively.
S-3 Solo All Leather $710 + Heavy-Duty Suspension – Driver Seat 230lbs+ $45 = US$755 (Au$1,125).
The S-3 Solo I have here is a Standard spring Solo in Diamond quilted Sunbrella fabric.
New it would be US$585 (Au$875) PLUS freight to Australia which I can guarantee will takeit over Au$1000 total value and then the Customs 10% GST cuts in.
