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 .

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!

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