[QUOTE="07FJRVegas, post: 1193671, member: 29214"] I've only ridden a few miles on a Russell belonging to my buddy and of course it wasn't custom built for me. I didn't care for the height and seating position (I know many swear by these seats and seats are personal choices). I've put about 10,000 miles on a Sargent performance plus and about 6,000 on a Laam. I'm 225 and 5'9" with 30" inseam. Comfort-wise they are both pretty equal for the rider. The Laam is more neutral seating, as it was custom made (had it adjusted once as I was sliding into the tank a bit; Seth did the adjustment right away). The Sargent has a bit more of a pocket to the rear and I really like the performance plus material as it keeps me in position. The Sargent is also a bit lower. Comfort-wise for the passenger, my wife prefers the Laam. The Laam is maxed out for width on the passenger seat and is shaped better to avoid chaffing on the inner thighs. I can ride 300 miles on either before I notice any discomfort starting and have done numerous 400+ days. Can't even to begin guessing at a 1000 mile day! Both seats are very aesthetically pleasing (IMHO) and are leaps and bounds better than a stock seat which is a "ball crusher" for me. I hate the constant sliding into the tank with a stock seat. I'd recommend both of these seats. Both companies provided me excellent service. The Laam is more economical by $100+ and Seth does give it his all to ensure you get what you want. [/QUOTE]
