SEAT QUESTION

[RadioHowie]

Before droping big bucks on a different seat that may not help, work with the seat that came with the bike.

Despite the praise and platitudes for aftermarket seats, THAT is about as good advice as you can get.

Gunny!

Here's another vote for Bill Mayer. Great people!

Another happy Bill Mayer customer here. It took a couple thousand miles for the seat to become a "custom fit", but now it is a perfect fit. Any custom seat will seem a bit hard at first, but once it gets broken in it is very very nice.

The stock seat on the ST1300 was the worst OEM seat I ever had. One hour on that thing and I was squirming, standing, moving around trying to get comfortable. A Sargent seat solved the problem for me. The factory FJR seat was quite a bit better (for me) and I could ride for about two hours before feeling discomfort. I bought another Sargent and I couldn't be happier. I will admit that I bought the Sargent largely because I like the way it looks on the bike. I suspect that a Russell or Mayer will provide better all day comfort but aesthetics are important to me. The Sargent in my mind is the perfect compromise.
