    Sargent's world sport seat is the way to go. All day comfort and looks better than stock loaf of bread

    I agree with Waldrm. Corbin would be my second choice.

    Check out Rick Mayer in Anderson, CA. He does great work and is very professional in detail and design.

    I have had them on my bikes and they do not stick out as far on the sides as sargents and much better quality then corbin. Just my opinion.

    Thanks for the input. I currently have a Corbin seat that has been built with the rear lip portion 2" forward of the normal location to accomodate the previous owner who is 5' 8". I'm 6'2" and the seat is too confining. Anyone have a normal Corbin that wants to trade ??

    i just bought a sargent seat. A friend of mine has had one sincce 1998 and loves it. I have only ridden about 200 miles; but I loove it. I was worried about getting the color matched piping; but it matches the yellow perfectly. the extra storage in the tail is the real reason I wanted the Sargent. The seating position is definately different from the stock seat- a little lower with more of a lip at the front.

    I have to also agree with everyone else , which does not happen to often ...Sargent does make a great seat.
    Get the quick release pins. Makes having the two part seat worth it.
    I'm able to put a sub sandwich and bottle of water for the short rides right under the cover.
    Ride Safe!
