LOVE IT ... LOVE IT ... LOVE IT !!! The original saddle was too spongy ... soft ... and slanted forward. I bought another original cheap ... sent the saddle to Sargent's ... talked to them on the phone ... $335 for complete rebuild ... they formed a "butt bucket" ... installed firmer foam ... two patterns of vinyl with yellow piping between ... leveled the feel of it. The $335 included return shipping. The Blast! will never be a Goldwing but I've ridden 80 miles at one sitting and survived. Couldn't do that before. |

The saddle from SARGENT'S lets me put more weight on my "cheeks" and less on my crotch. Also more level, don't tend to slide forward. Much more firm cushioning to better absorb road bumps. ... not to mention the sexy little yellow bead ... $335 just seemed like a lot to add to a $2,000 bike ... till I though about all the $4.00 gas the little bike saves me ... |

Looks sweet! The yellow piping is a really nice touch and dresses her up nicely. |

$335 is not a lot for a good motorcycle part, especially if it increases the usefulness of it: if keeps you from having to buy a bigger bike, it's cheap! |
