Sargent Conversion Low Seat comfort for passengers

Post by R12RnHouston »

Hello,

Do any of you folks sporting a Sargent Conversion low seat have any feedback from a passenger on the comfort back there?

Thanks!

Unfortunately, I have only had 2 passengers on mine, each for less than ten minutes, despite my gallant efforts to woo women. I can't imagine it would be worse than the stock seat though.

OK... any passenger feedback on any after-market seat (or the BMW comfort seat). :?:

My wife rides on the back of the Russell Day Long with nary a complaint.

The seat fits the look with the side and rear bags on, but when the bike is naked I just am not sure. It doesn't seem to go with naked. Man, would I like one of them, though.

Rick Mayer custom. Boss lady loves the rear seating now. Before was a 30 minute max before needing to get off. Now, 3-4 hours stretches no problem.

Yeah, well between your sense of style and my butt, I'm gonna go with my comfort as being beautiful :D

I'd like to see this bike/seat in person, looks comfortable.
