Premium Member clint Posted March 7, 2016 Premium Member Share Posted March 7, 2016 First look at the Sargent Seat for FJ-09. This one is heated, but I imagine the unheated will look pretty much the same. Looks a lot like the Seat Concepts in shape and look. [video src=https://youtu.be/cTdSA_pNHlI] I've also sent them an email notifying them that the European model is NOT an MJ09 Tracer, but a MT09 Tracer.

Premium Member johan Posted March 7, 2016 Premium Member Share Posted March 7, 2016 Looks well made, I knew the way to speed up production would be for me to buy something else... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
root Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 http://www.sargentcycle.com/Seats-Accessories/Sargent-Seats-Yamaha-FJ09/ It annoys the crap out of me that they continue to list this as the MJ-09 Tracer. Get your model numbers straight! I may end up buying one but I'm still annoyed they can't get the overseas model number right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Member martyl Posted March 8, 2016 Premium Member Share Posted March 8, 2016 I think the Corbin looks WAYYY nicerYeah, the Corbin seat does look better. But the proof in the pudding is how it feels. Looking forward to the reports on that... A Motorcyclist's Church is the open road.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zine Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 Save your money, and invest in having the current seat re-trimmed! ... The issue I have with 'aftermarket' seats, is the fact that they are designed to accommodate all riders! So unless you are the tester, you might find it to be; too wide / too soft / too firm, etc I always visit my local seat re-trimmer, and it's shaped to my body and weight. Plus I can specify the look and trim! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hornetmike Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 I think the Corbin looks WAYYY nicerWould I be wildly wrong if I guessed you were from the US of A? The Corbin looks like one of those quilted king & queen seats you used to see on 1980 Z900s. Bloated, and totally out of keeping with the lightweight exciting nature of the FJ / Tracer. Still, if a nation can take Donald trump seriously... The Sargent looks almost as good as my Bagster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
