When I bought my RT in March it came with a Sargent seat, after having a new element fitted, it is even heated..... however....
It is good up to the first 12 hours or so, but gets progressively more uncomfortable thereafter.
I bought a barely used BMW riders seat with a view to getting it reupholstered, but thought I should give it a try on a ride over a few days.
This was possibly a mistake, it was okay for a couple of hours, if that and was the instrument of torture I had been told it would be thereafter.
So, my question is, can anyone recommend a seat upholsterer in the UK who can make a standard seat better than a Sargent seat?
I mean if it were easier and maybe not quite so expensive, I would have a Russel Day Long... I rode on one of those on a friends ST1100 in the States and they do exactly what they claim, you really can ride all day long without discomfort......
I have tried putting a sheepskin over the Sargent (and the OEM seat) and it makes a little difference, but not enough.
Any suggestions folks?
