Oh what a feeling!
No, not a Toyota commercial. I got a sargent seat (thanks Seroj) and boy what a difference. It's used, the red isn't a perfect match (probably wasn't when it was new either) but it feels quite different. I actually feel as if I can ride without my sack being assaulted by a gastank that I am forced into every move! The stock seat leans forward way more than you can tell until you change it out, besides the fact that it has no support and a skin like paper.

It's a lot comfier than stock... Even if you don't have stuff that get chrushed against the tank...

Sargent Seats are about $400, they're made in Florida. They don't slope down into the tank, and are slightly wider to give thigh support, thus reducing fatigue. A quality product.

Think i prefer normal seat lol any way just because i dont have the bits doesn't mean to say it doesn't hurt many a time have i gone over a bump and smacked me front bits on tank and it does bloomin hurt its just skin on bone i would say its similar to you hiting your knee on a hard surface slightly
I'm guessing you don't like the pricetag? Trust me... It's worth it... I got mine used here on the forum for considerbly less... Not pristine, but good condition... Well worth the money...

These are about 60 bucks cheaper and they're new. I got mine used for $170, if you're patient you can find a deal.

As painful as that sounds, it's not even close to a nutcruncher... Sorry... It's one of those things where it just not possible to explain it to a girl... There are other things we just don't get when you explain... But ask any guy, and he can very lividly imagine it...

Find one, sit on it, you'll buy one! BTW I love the description comparing hitting your "bits" to hitting your knee. That pelvic bone can't feel to good on that tank either! Then again, without nuts, maybe it's fun. : )~

Probably... I'll never know though...
Yeah, getting a knee down isn't any harder... The difference is mainly a bit more padding just slooping up to the tank in the middle, which keeps bits and pelvic bone and tank separate, unless you deliberately slide up there, but just as narrow as stock... Slightly more support, slightly wider at the rear, a bit more bucket shaped under the ***... Makes you naturally end up a bit more back than stock... Bit grippier surface, needs to be a bit more deliberate when sliding to go knee down...
All in all, same as stock, better padding and adding a natural default position, but you can easily go anywhere else when you need it...
