R.C. Posted November 8, 2019 Share Posted November 8, 2019 Thanks to DeltaHotel's post above, I emailed Sargent this morning, since I, too, was an early adapter. And, this afternoon I received an email that my seats have shipped! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member 3sum Posted November 8, 2019 Author Premium Member Share Posted November 8, 2019 I guess they’re waiting to ship mine last. I haven’t received an email on mine yet. 😪 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member 3sum Posted November 8, 2019 Author Premium Member Share Posted November 8, 2019 I spoke too soon. Mine says it shipped out today also with an arrival of tomorrow. I’m surprised they are shipping it next day for a Saturday delivery. I would be fine with it just showing up next week sometime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guess Nebraska is further away than you... mine expected "end of day Wednesday".... or, you're special since getting it "next day" :`) Edited November 9, 2019 by R.C.

Premium Member 3sum Posted November 9, 2019 Author Premium Member Share Posted November 9, 2019 My replacement arrived about an hour ago and while I haven’t taken it for a ride yet, when I took it out of the box, it has a noticeable difference in the slope from the first one. First picture is the original. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First picture is the original. It might be the camera angle but it looks like they improved the rear of the seat as well. Looks nice! 👍 ***2015 Candy Red FJ-09*** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member 3sum Posted November 9, 2019 Author Premium Member Share Posted November 9, 2019 I haven’t noticed until you mentioned that but it does appear a little different other than the blue piping not going all the way around like the original seat does. And I haven’t even taken the new rear seat out of the box yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member 3sum Posted November 10, 2019 Author Premium Member Share Posted November 10, 2019 Just got back from a short ride with the new seat. The mods done by Sargent make it perfect, for me at least. It created a pocket that you sit in. Even with my somewhat slick Roadcrafter, even hard braking resulted in very minimal sliding forward. Well done Sargent. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rlambke19 Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 (edited) @3sum Is your seat in the lower position? If so, any chance you can post a picture of it in the upper position? Cheers, Rob Edited November 11, 2019 by rlambke19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MartyP Posted November 13, 2019 Share Posted November 13, 2019 (edited) Mine and the fit in the tank Edited November 13, 2019 by MartyP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartyP Posted November 13, 2019 Share Posted November 13, 2019 I have loved my other sargent seats but this one I don't. I had a very early one done with the oem pan. Sits nicely on the bike but they did not do a good job of the forward slope. I called them and they told me that since it was a "custom" job that I would have to send it back and pay another 90+ bucks to get it reshaped. I mentioned that people are saying that early adapters of the seat were getting them fixed for free but not on mine only the one they sell. So I ordered another just rider seat. I got both seats two days ago. The slope was better and the seats look nice but the fit in the tank was driving me crazy. I boxed the seats back up and will be sending them back this weekend. Like I said I loved my Sargent seats on my two other bikes but they just got this wrong. I also feel they should have reshaped my original seat they did for free IMHO 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume (i know, silly me) they have a donor bike like any other seat builder so they can get the dimensions and angles correct. Even this new revision that they did with the seat looks like they forgot to (or purposely decided not to) match the angle of the tank. I have several riding buddies with Sargent seats and they all fit the bikes angles/shapes perfectly. 2 ***2015 Candy Red FJ-09*** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
