I gotta say that the Sargent I bought from another lister that he bought
(from another lister?) is pretty darned nice.  The Atomic foam makes a
world of difference,  being angled back from the tank and dished out a
little wider help a bunch and the pocket keeps you put.  It's shaped sort
of like a gunfighter seat so there's not a real seat for a pillion but the
shape of the rear is sort of like that of the cowl.

I wonder if those guys know if Sargent (or anyone) has the original specs
that were given for the creation of this seat as it just may be the thing
you'd like to have done.
