Well first you have to have a phone capable of wireless charging. . . .

A Christmas or two ago, my S.I.L. got one of the wireless chargers. Everybody was puting their phone on/by it. I plopped my flip phone down on it, and asked why it wasn't working with my phone. Some of the youngsters didn't even know what my phone was.

I did the flat seat mod....again.....this time to my new Sargent seat.

I felt like I was sliding a little downhill on it since fitting it a few weeks ago. On a whim whilst in the garage I have just got the Yamaha seat back off the shelf and switched the rubber bungs over from the previous flat seat mod I did on that.

Had to refit the extra bung in the lower seat position alloy slot which I had taken out when putting the Sargent on.

When I was looking at the underside of the Yam seat I saw the allen key for taking the side panels off and thought better pop that in the Sargent under seat pocket, only to find a holder for it in there that I hadn't noticed before.

I'll see how that feels when I ride into work tomorrow.

curious to hear your thoughts on this. I have the stock seat and am curious about a sargent as I like it a lot on my BMW. on top of that I’m on the shorter side so want a low seat - that is flat.

It's definitely wider which is what I was after, I am not so sure about lower, if it is, the extra width puts your reach to the ground back where it was before.

As you already have had a Sargent seat, I don't need to tell you it is hard so you feel road bumps more, but against that, the support is very good. Mine is currently shiny so when I rode to work on Saturday in the pouring rain in full textile trousers, any braking was sending me up the seat, my backside lacked grip. I have had this before on a Corbin on my Varadero, and it sort of cured itself over time, I think I have a bum like sandpaper as grip gradually got better.

Did the mod to flatten it work? I really disliked the sliding forward that the stock seat did before I modded it so want to ensure I can get the Sargent flat too.

Thanks!

I think it definitely made a difference and I'm going to leave it like it from now on. if I can get something grippy on the seat that will be the icing on the cake.
