Re-upholstering a Sargent Seat?

[Roberto]

Just wondered if anyone had rebuilt or re-upholtered a Sargent seat.

Mine has done around 40k with a very fat arse indeed stuck on it and it has become pretty uncomfortable. There's a tear and the piping has deteriorated and frayed off.
In summary: Fooked.


All said it's probably just another seat to get re-upholstered (recommendations welcome also to whom) but just wondered if anyone out there had done it or done anything different.

Cheers

If it has become uncomfortable it sounds like it is a problem with the foam deteriorating as well as the cover.

Try a specialist like Tony Archer /Saddlecraft or similar ,as it may require new foam.

I would look for someone local who is recommended on various forums so you can take it in a speak direct as to what you need

It might just be me , but i tried to get sargeant uk to make a few adjustments after buying a brand new one from them, but had no interest from them whatsoever.

+1 on Tony Archer.

Even better if you visit him as you can tell him what the problems are and what you would like done.

It's a few miles from London, but it's worth it.

Cost me under £100 for my stock seat to be made comfy.

Viking in Kent are much nearer to you and very highly recommended.
