So far I haven't heard great things about the sergeant seat. I had one once on my Kawasaki Versys and it was only slightly better than stock but the foam was horrible as it transferred a LOT of shock up my spine from rough roads leading to back pain.

I think I am narrowing it to the Touratech or the Saddlemen adventure tour.

On my last S10 I tried a Sargent and didn't like it at all because it forced me to sit back in its dished out area and the forward area where I like to sit when riding aggressively was rock hard. Was a disappointment because I really liked the ones on my 1100GS and my Africa Twin.

You might want to check out the Russell Day Long that Clawdog posted about, I've yet to read a negative review of them.

If I was choosing between the TT and the Saddlemen I'd try the TT. Kahedo makes BMW's comfort seats and they're really good.

I’m just hoping that the touratech seat isn’t made of concrete as I am about 165lbs I had a Sargent on my last bike (Versys 650) and it was better than stock but not by a whole lot. The touratech is pricy in Canada so I’m hoping it’s the right seat. So far it looks as if it is. The russel day long I’m sure is VERY comfortable but I can’t get over the fact that it looks like a feminine hygiene product.

If the touratech is like my touratech driride it is very comfortable . Mine feels soft but stays the same all day instead of breaking down like the stock seat.

I have narrowed my search down to three seat options and if anyone has experience in these please let me know.
I am looking at either the Seat Concepts foam kit, Touratech Comfort Seat, or the Sergeant Seat. I am not interested in a RDL or anything that shape. I have done 1200km weekend rides and the stock seat is bearable but I want better than bearable.

Also, if anyone knows where to get any of these IN Canada please let me know. ( I know you can get the seat concepts kits from mx1canada but can't find the sergeant or touratech seats as I prefer not to pay expensive international shipping from the US.

Thanks a lot in advance!!!
I know it’s not on ur list. But I have a Corbin front seat. Love it. Just make sure saddle is gripper material. Made that mistake. Thought the leather would be fine. Lol. It ain’t no cruiser.
