RC51 John Posted July 4, 2009 Report Share Posted July 4, 2009 I'm looking for an aftermarket seat and wanted to get some input about Corbin and Sargent seats. Primarily I'm looking for quality and comfort.CorbinSargentI have already decided there will not be an ugly ass stripe (welt) on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NinjaNick Posted July 4, 2009 Report Share Posted July 4, 2009 I'm a Sargent guy. I hear from the 50-60 crowd that they help them out a lot while on their sportbikes. I need one, my ass bone hurts on long rides. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvilTwin Posted July 4, 2009 Report Share Posted July 4, 2009 Never really heard about the Sargents, apparently the ZX6R crowd only likes Corbin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swingset Posted July 4, 2009 Report Share Posted July 4, 2009 Asses are like opinions, they're all different and do amateur porn. Is that how the saying goes?Anywho, point being ask 20 guys who've tried both seats and you'll get 20 different opinions. Both make a good seat, but you gotta put your rump on one for a day's ride to know for sure (unfortunately, at the tune of $300).I tried the Sargent on my Strom and liked it alot, had a Corbin on my DRZ and thought it was awful, but I know many people have had the complete opposite opinion on both saddles.

SJC1000rr Posted July 4, 2009 Report Share Posted July 4, 2009 I love my sargent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xz7bob Posted July 4, 2009 Report Share Posted July 4, 2009 ordered a Sargent to match the OEM paint scheme on my zx7-r and they could not get it right... They even had the one I wanted pictured on their website and I told them exactly which web pic of the design I wanted...they screwed it up...TWICE. Sent a completely different style. Customer service is not the greatest... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
