Sargent Seat For Sparky

[redbirds_imp]

Pamela has been unhappy with the stock seat on her CB, especially compared to the V-strom seat which she found quite comfortable. We drove to Jacksonville last week and dropped off the old seat at Sargent Motorcycle Seats - Sargent Seats - Aftermarket Motorcycle Seats for some much needed mods and here's the result, much better support and looks fabulous.

What specific changes did you request?

The rider seat area was brought forward about an inch and a "pocket" formed, wider than stock but kept narrow at front for good ground reach. Foam in the rider seat was replaced with Sargent's "Atomic Foam" and seat was covered with a textured vinyl with red welting. $352 with tax.

Do you get better ground reach with that narrowing at the front?

Have you kept original seat height or is it also a bit lower than stock?

thanks!

I had a Sargent seat on the Hawk GT that I just sold. The craftsmanship and the materials used both rated pretty highly with me.

Since the original seat base is used there is little difference other than it is done as well or maybe a bit better than stock.

Seat height is about the same but reach seems slightly better. Sargent will make the seat anyway you want. I have the advantage of living close by and Pamela was able to express her wishes directly to the tech who would make the mods. If sending the seat to them, I would make a drawing of how I wanted the seat to look along with info on lowering or raising seat height.
