Title: Sargent Seats Post by: mickyvee on June 01, 2012, 08:15:31 AM [thumbsup] As I am undertaking a longish Euro jaunt next month, and as the standard seat on my Evo is somewhat lacking in the comfort stakes, I've ordered a Sargent replacement. What can I expect? Anybody got one? I should get it by the end of next week, so I'll post back then!

Doesn't totally cure the problemt but is flatter, so less sliding into the faux tank. Tech Spec pads are also useful at low speeds (I'm 5' 8"). http://www.monsterparts.com/pc/621500SS/Protection/621500SS.html (http://www.monsterparts.com/pc/621500SS/Protection/621500SS.html) Title: Re: Sargent Seats Post by: Duc796canada on June 02, 2012, 08:56:45 AM [thumbsup] Fitted mine from new.

Only issue I had with them was not sticking properly around the curved part of the tank. :( I'm also 5'8" lol!!

I believe he's had some practice. 8) The pair my son installed on his ST4s slipped a little and he had to clean off some excess adhesive, but no other issues whatever.Title: Re: Sargent Seats Post by: pitbull on June 07, 2012, 03:44:53 PM I had one on my old 01 M900, and I can honestly say, that was by far the best mod/money spent on that bike hands down without question or reservation!!!...I am currently thinking about sending my current seat on the Gran Canyon to them to have them redo it... same bike, same sentiment. I also have a corbin and I hate it, but keep it for two-up riding as the sargent isn't much good for the passenger. Title: Re: Sargent Seats Post by: mickyvee on June 08, 2012, 06:18:23 AM [thumbsup] My seat arrived today! It fits perfectly, is beautifully made and looks ace. It certainly feels comfy just sitting on it in the garage, but until this typical English summertime weather dries up, I won't be doing a road test. However, I feel sure that it will get the thumbs up!

Title: Re: Sargent Seats Post by: mickyvee on June 08, 2012, 06:48:18 AM [thumbsdown] Not on the Evo. The power valve controller takes up most of the space, leaving just enough room for a very slim toolkit. Shame.
