SWB repro seat?

mymindsok · Jan 15, 2010

I have the Sargent seat on my bike and it isnt nearly as high a quality as the original r-90 seat or the German manufactured RS replacement Seats available through Seibenrock.

The RS repro seats are 100% to factory specs, while the Sargent seat thats on my R-90 has a shiny cover, the seat base is plastic and the hinges are junk. The hinge hooks bend easily and they aren't manufactured to spec, so they scratch the frame.

If I ever find a nice original seat for sale, I'm grabbing it!

Yeah, I'd have to agree with you in terms of TOO much bouncing around...plus, it puts the seat higher than I'd like it...real nice looking installation, those rubber bumpers should be cushion enough, I think...

Thanks so much for posting this, I just ordered a Ultima 9x13 brown leather seat similar to yours on Ebay. I appreciate the head start on how you made yours fit.
