Seat and Ar*e ache
 

Has anyone got any experience of Sargent seats? Are they any good?

I have a OEM gel seat and was just wondering if one of these would be better?

Re: Seat and Ar*e ache
 

Sargent have more of an American following much like Corbin do as well , might be better off doing a Google search and see what they say on the USA forums

I used to have an OEM gel seat but then got a Sargeant seat off fleabay.
In my opinion it is more comfortable than the OEM seat - the OEM seat seemed to slope down to the tank too much, whereas the Sargeant has a flatter profile.
I still suffer from some aches and numbness but I think part of this is the riding position on the SV. Another option would be the Bagster seats but I think they are very expensive.

I threw an SV1000 seat on as it was harder and lowered my pegs , helped reduce but not eradicate soreness .

Re: Seat and Ar*e ache
 

How did you lower your pegs?

Re: Seat and Ar*e ache
 

Bought some rearset riser plates and flipped them upside down , you can also fit some Buell footpegs which will drop the position down by an inch

i got a corbin and have never had **** ache since.

Re: Seat and Ar*e ache
 

I get quite alot of **** ache with the standard seat, but your saying the gel seat doesnt help the problem that much?

Re: Seat and Ar*e ache
 

It helps, but doesn't resolve the problem. To be fair the Gel seat is loads better, but I was just wondering if a sargent will make the problem totally vanish!

Re: Seat and Ar*e ache
 

Ok, kl cheers for the advice, tbh most of the other alternatives do seem rather expensive unless found on ebay

Re: Seat and Ar*e ache
 

Yeah I know, that's why I am reluctant to keep throwing money at it if the difference is only marginal!

Re: Seat and Ar*e ache
 

I've got some of these footpegs to lower the footrest position, as because I'm getting older its more & more difficult to put up with the standard footrest position.

If I was to do a track day, I can change the position quickly with an allen key

I was just about to buy a set of these from sport touring, then I noticed the thread about fitting buell foot pegs. So I have ordered a set of them to try.

Re: Seat and Ar*e ache
 

Perhaps its all in the riding position,I find it bearable for 6 + hrs, did 8 + last week

Re: Seat and Ar*e ache
 

How long have you riden it for now? Your body will adjust to a bike with a bit of time on it...you seem to be chucking money at it!!! ;)

Re: Seat and Ar*e ache
 

I have done roughly 12K miles and still get the numb issue on the Mway trips

Re: Seat and Ar*e ache
 

I have a Sargent seat and on my curvy and I love it!!!!!
Way more comfortable than stock and doesn't feel like you're sitting in a bucket like the corbin seat for the curvy.

Get one, you won't regret it.
400 mile days are no problem.
