Have to agree, probably one of the best mods you can make.

This is my third seat from Mick (MJM), I had one on the zx14 and one on a zzr1200, they were great for long trips. I wasnt sure how it would go on the zx10 but it made a huge difference and I reckon it looks great too.

I had a pic of the zx14 around somewhere, will see if I can find it.

for both seats on the zx10 they were about $385, not sure what the bench seat on the zx14 was worth coz that was in 2007 but i think similar type prices. you would have to check

he has got a website with info and sends seats all over Oz.

Hope that helps, will post a pic of the 14 seat when I get home on the weekend although prob not necessary as he has pics on his website

Hey Hoffy,

Where did you pick up the Sargent from and how much did you pay?
Also, which model did you go for?

I found these three styles in their AU distributor's website.

Yeah mate, got from distributor in oz..yeah those guys..

The one thing sargent do well is comfort, they are second to none..hold up for an all day ride..

The one thing id be carefull is with re shapers is do they really understand what makes it comfortable..or do they just make it look more comfortable?..sargent know what works..

With my next bike im not going to stuff around and just going to get one straight away..

Hoffy,

I have just parted with the funds for a Sargent Seat from the Oz distributor for my Z1000... I trust your judgement on the seat itself but can I expect any dramas with the local supply?

Has to come from the US though so three to four weeks. Got my KSRC discount too :D
