bestest oils, tires and seats.... perfect for using the "Search" function.

I'd try to find one you can try and return if you don't like the sitting position. I'm not talking about riding around on it for weeks, but ordering from either Sargent or Corbin, putting it on your bike and going for an hour or two ride.
You might be lucky finding one on Ebay pretty cheap too.
The problem with buying a custom seat is making adjustments. If you live close enough to Bill or Rick Mayer, great, but if not you're stuck with UPS charges both directions.
I've heard of people taking their bike to an automobile upholstery shop and having them build you something.

My used '05S came with a Sargent saddle which fits well, looks good, and is plenty comfortable. I have a Rick Mayer saddle on my '04RT that is very nice as well. I'd recommend either one. Good luck.

Cheers,
Steve

I have a Sargent on my S and love it. Huge improvement over stock.

How about hiding that evaporator canister with a kit from A&S and cleaning up that rear wheel well to show off that carbon fender a bit more.....ZTechnik makes it. Mine came from the previous owner with it and it looks great.

unless you live in CA, it works just as well to save the $20, and remove the evap canister.

I've got the Sargeant seat on my BoxerCup Replica. Good improvement.
