I want a new seat

Post by mcollect »

I have a 2002 R with a sargent seat. It is flat and does not mold to my butt.
Better than the stock but not as nice as I want. I ride solo all the time, so the Mayer or Russel don't look as though they would give any support to my lower pelvis as I ride with a rear deck, not a seat..The corbin looks better, I currently have Corbins on my other bikes. but still not what I want. Any ideas for a seat with lower pelvic support that is NOT butt ugly.

Michael,
I have the Russell day long and love it. I have been in the saddle for up to eleven hours in one day with no monkey butt or pain.

I can't help you much as I am still using the stock seat but, if you wish to sell that Sargeant, I would love to buy it from you.

Thanks.

Michael,
I had a Russell on my RT, loved it greatly, long, long rides were no problem. I have a Rick Mayer on my '50R, just got back from a 3 day, 1200 mile trip, no problems here, either. I would highly recomend either one, the Mayer being about half the cost of a Russell. I have the rear, metalized deck in place of the rear seat, no issues. I could barely make it 150 miles or so on the stock or the "comfort" seats, FWIW.

My Corbin gathers dust, my Russell gathers miles. 800+ mile days.
IMHO Russell is the best. Treat yourself and get the backrest too.
