DIY Comfort Seat....

[roadfool]

A few weeks ago Sargent Cycle installed the Premium Foam Conversion on my '11 R12R. I now have the original OEM foam and cover for sale. Foam and cover are like new, less then 1k mile on these.
I'll ship it CONUS only for $135.00.

Simply add the foam to you're existing seat pan then staple the cover to the seat pan and your good to go. Any interest?

Paul,

How about some feedback on the comfort and looks of the Sargent replacement foam and cover?

From another thread here...


I didn't make it to Charolette yesterday but did put 265 miles on the new seat.

The bottom line is ........ This seat just disappears under my butt, and that's a very good thing. No pressure points, no pinching, and the boys do not slide up into the tank, there's room on the seat to move and shift sitting positions, wider and more supportive across the width of my butt but more narrow at the front for better knee grip on the tank and ease of flat footing when seated or standing the foam feels a bit softer then the OEM comfort seat but is firm enough to provide good support for me. Once again the folks at Sargent Cycle have put a big smile on my face. I'll try to post pictures in the next few days.

When they first fitted the seat on the bike the front wings of the seat didn't hug the tank. I could have lived with this and was ready to ride on but Dade (maybe the manager of shop?) wouldn't have it. He asked if I would mind a 30 minute delay in my departure so they could recover the seat and make it right..... And they did.

I've used several Sargent Cycle seats and have always been pleased with the product and with their customer service. Disclaimer..... YMMV.

I'm 5'11" and weigh in at 205 lbs with a 32" in seam, so ya know.

I bought this bike used and it had the Wunderlich seat installed. That seat was of very high quality and comfortable but I felt like I was perched on top of the bike and it was wide at the front making it more difficult to flat foot when seated or straddling the bike. That seat was sold to an inmate here and I hope it works well for him.
