Wanting to find out which aftermarket seat is best to keep your jewels from being mashed against the tank. Comfort is not an issue - hell, I think the stock saddle is comfortable - it's more the design so that you're not pushed up against the tank.  Let's see what people think -

Sargent is flatter, so "less" sliding forward. Tech Spec pads to dig your knees in at low speeds a big help too.

I'm finding my Corbin is very comfortable and a huge improvement over stock.  It looks good (to my eyes, I understand some people hate them) and the leather is a plus.  Finish where it can't be seen is atrocious, fitment around the cowl is poor and I am adjusting that myself with some dark filler padding.  Customer service is non existant and lives up to it's reputation as the worst anywhere. Make of it what you will  ;)

No offense, but this poll is pointless.  What seat is comfortable for my ass might not be so for yours.   :)
