I've got a Mr Wog seat which is very comfortable but sits me too low so my knees ache. If the Sargent doesn't fit your skinny arse, we can swap if you want. ;)

Did you get the classic cut or the sports one? I was going to get a Mr wog but didn't want the sports one for the same reason

It's a special cut. ;) It's more of a classic cut, but with a bit of the slope taken out to allow me to put my arse a bit further back. It's actually very comfortable and he does an awesome job recovering them so they look a lot better than the factory ones. It's a pity he won't build them up to make a taller seat as it would be the best option by far.

I would but I don't know who to get to do it Hoff. After sitting on Wattman's seat I don't trust big Kev to touch it and I don't know anyone else that does bike seats. That seat that he modified for Tape is the most uncomfortable seat I have ever sat on and every seat I have seen done by him look amateurish.

Thanks Gos

When you do the motor on the Z1000 you can take the zx10 for a ride and check out the seat for yourself.

After seeing The Hoff's Sargent seat on the z it would be some of the first dollar I would spend on a bike now I reckon.

Here is a question for you, what would be your fave mods? I always seem to go for

1. Seat
2. Double radius screen
3. Nice Zorst
4. Power Commander
5. K&N Air filter
6. Undertail

The order will change depends on the pennies in the bank and of course the bike, The first must have on the zx10 (06) was Nissin calipers and braided lines :kuda:
