The original saddle (seat) on my BLAST! is terrible ... narrow and mushy ... and I tend to feel as if I'll slide forward. I talked to a sweet young gal at SARGENT and I think I'd like to have them build me a wider firmer saddle(seat) with a place for my butt (not too big :-) ) Antonia is great to work with on the phone by the way ... What I'd like is to find a regular or short saddle pan ... even one that's been beat up ... as long as the pan is fine ... so that I can keep my original and send SARGENTS the pan on which to build my new saddle ... Anybody have an old spare beat up saddle to sell cheap ??? Indiana |

The stock Blast saddle does suck. Consider Corbin, too. |

The newer 2006 and up are much better. Different vendor. EZ (Message edited by ezblast on April 06, 2011) |

Love love love my Sargent seat! They did a fantastic job transforming my stock seat and it was done in two days! |

Not sure if you would run into the same issue, but I bought a low seat off eBay and brought that to them to work on and I was going to keep the original regular seat. They told me they couldnt keep the original seat height (which I wanted) and use the low seat pan....it wouldn't fit right or something like that. I ended up selling the low seat and they transformed my stock seat. |

Low seat and "tall" seat are identical except the tall seat has stabilizer flaps that hug the tank. I could see them being concerned about going taller without the tank flaps, but there isnt much else of a difference. |

Low seats are a dime a dozen here or on e-bay.Tall seats command a high price. $100 is the new price for either. Did you do a Badweb classifieds search? Did you email past Blastards who've listed a seat for sale in the "seats" section?I've found just about everything I've ever needed in the Badweb classifieds. |
