 So what Sargent is saying is they are expecting the next shipment of granite in any day now.>:D 

Wouldn’t that be Corbin and their rock hard seats??

I was just coming here with the screenshot of the email reply I got from Dane saying the same thing. 

Anyone that will be getting a Sargent when they come out should ask for Dane. I don’t know if they work on commission or not for call in sales, but that’s what I’ll be doing.  He’s helped me out in the past with a custom seat for my Speed Triple when I did a drop-in at their facility and has been very responsive and honest when I’ve emailed him about the Tracer seat. 

He’s a good guy. 

At this point, it has been half a year since your original post, with "maybe" a September ship date.  You could have had a custom seat made months ago.

I received an email today that the seat should be ready to ship at the end of the week. I’m crossing my fingers that holds.

I just received an email from FedEx with a tracking number. Seems my seat will begin its journey my way later today.

Received it in less than 24 hours after it shipped. Only did a test sit so far but it feels worlds better than the OEM already.

I'm trying to decide on whether to order this seat. Could I trouble you to post a pic with Sargent front and stock rear?

Is the extra width too much? Look odd?

And the forward slope? Much better?

I was about to call them today, but then I read a post here suggesting it really does not cute the slope issue. Thoughts?

I’ll do my best to remember once I get home to do that. 
 

I don’t think the extra width looks bad at all. 
 

I’ve only done the test sit so I can’t speak to the riding but it sure feels better already. 
 

I think the person that had Sargent use his bike to make it is here. He said the slope was still there and had them redo it last week. I don’t know if that will be their “standard” build or not but the slope never bothered me on the OEM seat, so take that for what it’s worth. I do plan on a ride in the mountains this weekend so I’ll be able to report back more Sunday.

There ya go! And yes the blue is a bit lighter and brighter. I think it blends well with the blue stripes on the tank. It’s color G-50.

I forgot; the silver color E-111 is very close to the silver under the seat. I had my guy there send me a bunch of swatches.  Those two were the closest to me.
