Kbear Posted June 25 Share Posted June 25 I wanted to replace the aftermarket Sargent seat the PO had installed with an OEM seat on my 2007 25th anniversary and I'm glad I did. I know a lot of you guys like aftermarket seats, but this Sargent wasn't working for me. The Sargent's design has a sunken mid section that was causing me some discomfort. I was finally able to put some miles on the other day with the OEM seat. All I can say is "wow" what a better seat for me. The padding underneath has a certain spring back that really makes it so much more comfortable for me. I know you guys will think I'm crazy but that's just how it works for me. I'm very glad I purchased the OEM seat. 😎👍 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gumby, my travel partner 😎👍. I was debating on placing that decal on the seat cowl or the lower fairing up front (almost wish, now, that I put it up front). Glad you like it it does look pretty cool. One good thing, it's not permanent. Came all the way from England. One [decal] on each side of the seat. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The white background makes it all the more appealing. If I still had my RWB 6gen I'd definitely be doing the same, love it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer bmart Posted June 26 Member Contributer Share Posted June 26 The "Sargent dish" which used to be a Corbin only thing, is less prevalant on the 5th gen. Still, I had my red striped one flattened so it would stop curving my spine. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kbear Posted June 26 Author Share Posted June 26 That Sargent was causing me to get cramps in my right hip pretty bad and it just wouldn't go away. The first time I climbed on with the OEM seat I could feel a huge difference right away and as I road some miles the foam rubber underneath has a really great spring back that gives me a more comfortable ride. I'm just weird like that I guess. I much prefer the OEM seat by far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
