sargent seats/the passenger

......im about to make the purchase of a sargent seat for my 98 vfr....i have been trying to do my research on the sargents,and it seems that everyone pretty much LOVES em.....since my wife really likes to ride with me,im wondering how comfy they are for the passenger......i havent heard much feedback on that...hopefully some of you folks can let me know whats up...thanks!!!!:smile:

 

I've had my Sargent for 3500 miles now and the only thing that's ever been on it was a tailbag, so I guess I'm no help...

 

What's a passenger?

 

I haven't had anyone on this bike as a passenger as my wife won't ride, but in squeezing the seat and pushing to get the damn thing on it feels as plush as the pilot portion. Overall the saddle construction seems excellent and is a bit softer than Corbin, it doesn't feel like a plank even out of the box.

The only downside I see is I don't think they offer a backrest option as corbin I believe probably does. Good luck there's nothing better than a happy woman on the back!!!:rockon:

 

...........need MORE feedback...that is all......

 

I got the wife to go for a ride on the VFR a couple weeks ago - she hated it overall, but said the Sargent was ok. I can't imagine it's not better than the stocker... one thing I've had a little trouble with is getting the rear cowl to go down right - its hitting the right side edge where the pins go in and pushing up, making too big a gap.

 

Before I bought my Interceptor my buddy broght his 04 with a sargent seat on it over so we (my wife and I) could take it for a ride. She loved the seat and was very comfortable. That was the deciding factor for me getting the VFR.

 

..............thanks for the input......guys!!!!

 

You are the first person I have heard say that, I have asked a couple of times about how the wifes ride is on the corbin and sargent seats and have gotten no answers untill know , thank you for this reply
