Are after market seats like the Sargent and Corbin really worth the $500+ price tag? I have just completed a 200km non stop ride on the highway on my standard 2002 6th gen seat and to be quite honest the last 50 km was painful. Normal local rides are fine but I wasn’t expecting the numb bum feel after 2 hours in the seat noting it’s meant to be a sports tourer. It may be that as there were no real turns to lean into over this time and basically being static in the saddle it is the norm?
Are there any cheaper alternatives? Has anyone reworked their own original seat with new foam which has worked for them?
