Dude call Dan Kyle. I have the Sato risers (stock clips are risers as well) in the garage that I need to install badly. They'll take care of the wrists, and Corbin has a seat for it already, but I'm waiting on the Sargent.

Actually I am starting to get acclimated to the bars. Plan to add a Throttlemeister for the 4 lane to the mountains that should help. On the seat I have to wait since I am short legged and the Corbin makes this worse from what I understand due to the comfort edge they add.

Yeh I did some research on the seat foam used by Corbin and Sargent. I couldnt find anything special really. By the way... I got my wheelchair cushion and sat on it... SOOOO comfy. So I whiped out a razorblade to slice it into scooter seat shape. The dam thing has a vinyl bladder full of goo between urethane foam slices. I am trying to figure out what I need to melt the vynil to seal it up.

BTW it looks like sargents operation is similar to my friends custom upholstry so I know it cant be that hard.

you don't see it when your ass is on it. besides wouldn't real carbon fiber not be very comfortable, its not as flexible as a seat needs to be.

Weight also carbon can flex pretty well! Not to mention it's more trick than molded plastic.
