Re: Sargent Cycles Custom Seat

Badbob, I saw your seat mod on the internet long before I found this site and I really liked how it looked and the extra height appealed to me as well. I tried to get Sargents to duplicate what they did on your bike, but they were very non committal saying each design was unique and they couldn't guarantee how it would look and spent a lot of time trying to talk me out of it, so I finally gave up on them doing it and just bought the foam from them and did it myself. I had a local shop cover it once I was happy with the shape and it's been a big improvement. Not sure why Sargent's was so against raising it up 2", it works really good for my 6'1" 210 lbs. Hope you take my copy as the sincerest form of flattery for your design! I don't have the blue seam trim, so mine is not as sharp looking as yours but the results are a lot more comfortable than the stock seat. Thanks!
