Is A Sargent Seat Worth The Money

sargent seat reviews My 2014 Suzuki V-Strom DL-650 motorcycle has a Sargent Cycles World Sport Seat. I thought I would do a Sargent Seat review after racking upwardly a few thousand miles on the bike later installing it. Then far, it's been the nearly comfy seat I've had on my cycle.

Stock DL650 seat not for me

I have done two long trips on the OEM Five-Strom 650 seat. I have never found it comfortable. It pitches my hips forward and pushes me into the gas tank. I get hot spots because it is too soft and numbness in my groin.

I read Five-Strom seat reviews and was torn. Based on my research, I idea I should become a Seat Concepts seat because of its apartment style. I also considered Corbin.

By luck, I found a proficient bargain for a used Sargent Globe Sport chance touring seat and jumped on it. My thought: If didn't work out, I could resell it for what I paid.

Sargent Globe Sport Review

sargent word sport seat reviews — The best seat for my V-Strom 650 is a Sargent World Sport.

At commencement glance, the Sargent Seat looks good. The cover is a CarbonFX vinyl, which is mold, mildew, and UV resistant, among others.

Even buying from the used market, the pipage, stitching, and comprehend look great and accept held upwardly well. The fit and stop is top notch.

Sargent seats are an instance of attention to detail, with the forepart of the seat being felt lined to proceed your gas tank from getting scratched.

Each seat pan is a directly fit. There is no universal fit here. You volition need to have the year, model, and make of your cycle to get the appropriate fit.

The pan is made from a PVC acrylic alloy, with a level of Super Jail cell Atomic Foam — basically, proprietary foam, which is stiffer than what's on the OEM Five-Strom seat. I prefer the stiffer foam.

No gel is used. Gel can exist heavy and retains heat. Both enemies of a good seat for the V-strom.

I, also, like the shape of the seat. I don't become hot spots and my lesser feels well supported on this firm seat. The dorsum of the seat is wide and distributes force per unit area evenly. Information technology does taper closer to the fuel tank, which leaves my inner thigh free from touching the saddle. This is a good feeling and eliminates the chafing I experienced the the stock seat.

The Sargent seat for the Five-Strom 650 is a comfortable touring seat and good for long days in the saddle. If you like a softer saddle, you lot may want to add a sheepskin, as well. For me, it's the best seat for the 5-strom.

Sargent as well provided a tool kit holder under the saddle.

Flaws from ownership a used seat, fantabulous Sargent customer service

My saddle was used. Information technology had a few k miles on it when I bought it and the previous owner left a screw missing for the latch mechanism and lost a rubber stopper on the seat pan.

A trip to the hardware store solved the missing screw dilemma. A call to Sargent Cycles solved the missing safe stopper dilemma.

When I called, I asked to purchase i of those rubber pieces.

However, the client service rep said he would just send i out. No accuse. Perfect!

From my feel, their customer service is pretty darn skilful and they stand up behind their product.
