So I bit the bullet and got a new Sargent seat for my FZ1, totaled 7 hrs riding today and could not wait to get off the bike :'(
It is easily just as uncomfortable as the standard seat so will hopefully be returning for a full refund.
Gutted as most reviews I read were very good, no breaking in needed... Apparently great from the off....
Anyone else tried one, thoughts?
-
Tried the Sargent seat and Yamaha Gel seat but thought both were mince.
Eventually bought a seat customised by Tony Archer and it is fantastic.
I have dealt with Tony personally a few years ago for a seat for another bike and he provides a quality product but it does take some time for him to provide the finished article.

Thanks that's helpful as was going to try a Yamaha gel one.
Picked up a bike for a mate Saturday, that has a seat by Tony so will see how he gets on with it. Might just give them a call to see what they can do for me :)

I've got a viper seat with gel inserts, very happy with it , pillion is compfy too.

I have Sargent on my fz1 love it suits me fine

I had a sargent seat on my Z1000SX and it was brilliant, I also know folk who have had seats remodeled by Tony Archer and have never heard anyone complain yet + he is a lot cheaper than Sargent.

Anyone tried an airhawk? Thinking of getting one for european trips. Heard great reviews
-
Spoke to Tony Archer today, he is going to gel my seat for a whopping £60 :D
He said it will be full gel not an insert. He also said when done it's great for some people but not for everyone.
Fair enough but at that price it's worth a go :)

IS IT HARD GEL OR SOFT GEL?

No idea.

I've had hard gel fitted to the fazer ,its just like sitting on a cold plank.
my late father in law had a soft gel seat on his push bike.
I've tried to get some but no one was interested.

My gel seat is rock hard too, I think he used concrete by mistake!
