Sargent Saddle?

[fredz43]

I just got back home from a 4500 mile trip to Colorado, which included a few days of right at 500 miles. I had my OEM seat that Sargent rebuilt for me, and it worked very well for me. As others have mentioned, I didn't think about the seat during the whole trip. Of course, riding for seveal days in 100+ degree heat gives you other things to think about. ;D

Having said that, I will probably try Sargent's World Sport seat when it is available, as they will probably be built on a wider pan as their other World Sport seats are. I have had them on 3 other bikes and loved them.

got tired of waiting, bought a used corbin off a forum member, money well spent

i have never had a custom seat on the bikes in my past so waiting is not a big deal to me at all.

that being said does the Sargent have the option of heat?

 

[Koinz]

I think Sargent had optional heat in their seats, although my personal opinion on the matter is that its a waste of money.
My ass never got cold while riding in freezing temps. It was always upper torso, fingers and toe's. YMMV

i was thinking more for while the bike is sitting outside warming up that the seat being warm would be nice along with the grips.

Mabe a warm seat makes you feel warm all over : I never understood heated seats in cars ?

I got heated seats in my Ridgeline. Problem is you got to sit on the seat, start the car and push the heat seat button, all the while your butt is heating that cold leather seat. So I guess all seats are heated - by your butt.

I also have heated seats and grips on my GL1800. The grips are sweet, like when it's cold and rainy. Heated seat? Not so much...see above.

I guess everybody is different. I don't think I will own another vehicle without heated seats. My heated seats in my 4runner are awesome! I bought the Corbin heated seat because It was discounted and not much more expensive than the standard seat. I used it twice on my last trip and definitely helped, although heated gear and grips would have been much better.

Love the heated seats in my car - crank the lumbar out and turn the heat on and feel your back just relax... I'm in Florida so they are essentially useless against the cold we don't have. Air-conditioned seats on the other hand......

Just an FYI...I sent Sargent an emil last week inquiring about the timing on the S10 seat release date. They said beginning to mid September. Seems as though the original date is relatively on track.

i have heated in my 4Runner as well. awesome stuff. they work as a great heating pad when your back is sore.

as per the ass-warming: why the hell not? some people will not care about it, but i for one do. not much more money and it is something that i would regret not getting.

i never understood why a heated steering wheel until i had a car with that feature. now i miss it.

No problem see you Monday!

Hey Everybody I don't know any more than all of you, but the launch of the seat is close. Sargent will taking photos next week.

Glad to hear it! I haven't had a real issue with the stock seat, but absolutely loved the Sargent on my VFR - and will probably end up with one on the Tenere. The quality is top-drawer, the customer service is beyond expectation, and the people there are simply the best. I've dealt with Sargent Upholstery (another division of the company) for years in a professional capacity (car biz) here in Jacksonville, and I can tell you the whole organization is simply the best. ::012::

Are they supplying the whole seat or do you generally have the original cut? Reason I ask is I have no interest in the Sargent seat, but would like a spare stock seat if anyone has one laying around. I can buy new for $140 but thought just in case I'd ask.

Ron,

Sargent supplies a complete replacement seat so there should be some OEM's available. Corbin is also a replacement, so some of the Corbin owners may have one available.

 

[mcbrien]

Hope I'm still on there list for a lower price for showing interest in a seat when it was still
in development ::017:: They said they would contact me but they haven't yet .

 

[tomatocity]

I should be on the same waiting lists for used seat(s). If the used price is too close to retail I will pay the $141 and feed the Sacramento economy.
