Custom Seat Services Division The Cornerstone of Sargent Cycle Products	Sargent Cycle Products entered the motorcycle aftermarket industry in 1989 with their Custom Seat Services division. Backed by more than 60 years of upholstery experience, Sargent is proud to be recognized as an industry leader in reupholstering, reconditioning, restyling, and foam alteration services for new and older bikes alike.
Basic Reupholstering and Reconditioning	Our Custom Seat Services Division can reupholster and recondition virtually any motorcycle or ATV seat. Basic reupholstering and reconditioning is the most economical way to breathe new life into an old, worn-out seat. We have standard patterns to fit most seats, and you have your choice of CarbonFX^® vinyl, pleated vinyl, smooth vinyl, or button-fit styles.

How It's Done.	First, each motorcycle seat is examined for foam deficiencies and repaired as needed. The original foam is then steamed for expansion. Next, a fresh layer of low-density foam is bonded over the original foam and a new moisture barrier is added. Metal pan seats have a new rubber EDGEGUARD^TM installed, if needed.
	Custom-made upholstery is then steam-fitted to your seat. On plastic-pan seats, the upholstery is secured with galvanized staples, and the original prongs or aluminum rivets are used on metal pan seats. The result is the best upholstery you can buy -- installed right, and ready for years of uncompromising service.

Custom Colors and Upholstery Styling

Color can add a new dimension to your bike. With the vast number of colors and combinations available, the possibilities are endless and the choice is yours. For more details, please review our UPHOLSTERY STYLING GUIDE and SEAT COVER INSERT CHOICES.

To get a sense of different upholstery styling options, check out this PHOTO COLLECTION from our brochure.

Finally, you are also invited to visit our STYLING OPTIONS guide for sport and sport touring bikes - it might give you some ideas...

Trying to match an older or obscure motorcycle paint color? A local printing shop can help you if they have the PANTONE Color Formula Guide. Simply match your paint (in natural sunlight) using the "coated" color swatches and let us know the color code. From there, we can make a vinyl color recommendation.

Foam Alterations and Upgrades	For the truly adventurous, foam alterations can be a great way to customize your motorcycle or help minimize a comfort issue. Our expert foam technicians are ready to help you.
	Please review our FOAM ALTERATION GUIDE for more details, helpful hints, and basic prices. A rendering or template is most helpful in illustrating foam shape changes.
IMPORTANT Your Seat's Level Line.	In most cases, to improved the overall foam shape of a motocycle seat, changing the angle of the RIDING PLATFORM is usually necessary. Please review information about how to make a LEVEL LINE on your seat before sending it to Sargent.

The Road To Comfort	When it comes to long-distance comfort, there are many variables that play a role. Sometimes, to achieve comfort, it's more than just a seat adjustment. We invite you to consider THE ROAD TO COMFORT when making any kind of purchasing decision.

A Case Study	To help you better visualize how the process of Custom Services works, we've put together a fairly typical case study on a Honda CB 750. Click HERE to view, and please be patient as there are many photos.

Specialized Services BMW Restorations Goldwing Tourers	Over the years and with repeated experience, we find ways to simplfy otherwise complex services. Two of these include the Goldwing Touring Seats and the BMW /5, /6, /7 restorations. For further assistance with these models, please print, review, and have handy these worksheets when working with one of our consultants: BMW CLASSIC RESTORATION /5 /6 /7 GOLDWING TOURING MODELS

Looking for an extra seat pan and foam?	In some cases, folks may not want to send their stock seat to us for Custom Services, so a used seat in decent condition might be in order. We might suggest that you contact a motorcycle salvage yard for an economical alternative or an on-line forum for resellers of used parts. The condition of the upholstery cover is not critical. The foam and pan should be in "recognizable" condition: Foam - Unmodified; needed repair is acceptable. Plastic Seat Pans - Unbroken with parts intact. Metal Seat Pans - Moderate rust is repairable. Rather than have the item drop-shipped to us, please have it sent to you first to verify that it fits your motorcycle properly before investing in custom seat work.

We suggest you have a blank ORDER FORM handy when you call to discuss your order.
