So the best bet for Sargent seat re-upholstery is to just send it back to Sargent. I think I can get one more season out of mine, then send it...
Provided the eye-to-eye length of the Kawi shock is NOT longer than your stock unit, yeah I think it would work. Jose
Look at my recent thread in the 5th gen. forum area. I converted a ZX10R shock pretty easily, and it is working out awesome! Jose
Excellent! It's great when the simple solution fixes something. Jose
Mine didn't line up perfectly either, so I grabbed a big clamp to squeeze the Shad mount arms together a bit. That allowed the rack mounting...
We should definitely put together a ride for our area, freshprince. Time is my nemesis too, but maybe we could do one for you to lock in the time...
I had the chance to run some errands around town today, and WOW what a difference. With the damping turned up, the bike feels really planted....

Oy ...... The cost of good upholstery work is just not "cheap". The three local shops I talked to are at around the $500 mark to re-do the seat...
That is a really good price in my book, OOTV. Lowest possible shipping still puts it at about $180 for a basic re-cover. Hopefully I can find...
The top side vinyl of my Sargent seat is cracking, so I spoke with Dane at Sargent about having it re-covered. Cost is $109, and shipping it back...
I always use reinforcement on plastic welds. You do need to make sure the weldment spreads beyond the immediate crack though. Making one part...
I wouldn't use staples. The plastic on motorcycle body parts isn't very thick. I'm a fan of stainless steel mesh. Use metal tape on the front...
Notice the state of all the vegetation around those people. That would all go up in flames instantly. Multiply that by an entire mountain. Here...
Fuck me .... We are in recovery mode, and will be for years. I cannot believe that image of 405 at the Getty. I drove that every day for 3...
