duhs10 Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 @littlebruv I switched from a Sargent seat to a Bagster. The Bagster is more narrow at the rear than the Sargent. The Sargent sits slightly lower than the Bagster. The Sargent is stiff and relies on spreading the load to achieve some level of comfort. The Bagster is a little more plush. Overall I think the Bagster is more comfortable... the Sargent just doesn't have enough foam towards the rear of the rider seat. I had a Sargent Performance Plus and now have a Bagster Ready Luxe w/ Bulltex foam. 3 '15 FJ-09 w/ lots of extras... Fayetteville, GA, USA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abler Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 Hi, has anyone compare the Bultex to the non-bultex? Is the Bultex foam really worth $100 more? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shizzle Posted February 19, 2021 Author Share Posted February 19, 2021 I got the Bagster with the Bultex foam. I like it. But have no idea about the non bultex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garybinnyc Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 Just out of curiosity I’m looking at the bagster.. on chrome burners website it shows the seat is for MT-09… is the seat identical for the FJ09? I’d hate to order the wrong seat. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The MT09 TRACER is the same bike as the FJ09, the MT09 is not even close. 1 ***2015 Candy Red FJ-09*** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garybinnyc Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 (edited) Thank you! I’d hate to buy a custom seat for the wrong bike! Just got back from a 2 hour ride and my a$$ is sore.. first thing I did was order my bagster! Will be a few weeks and can’t wait.

Xstoff Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 Anyone has a Corbin seat? I'm curious if it's worth the price! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garybinnyc Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 Just out of curiosity for anyone that has the bagster seat did you get the gel? I completely customize mine and had the gel added and just curious if anyone else has it and what your take is on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I don't have a Bagster seat, I do have a gel insert in my custom seat and love it. I have heard riders say that the gel will freeze in the winter and cook you in the summer heat but I have never felt any of that. My gel insert is approximately an 8" oval and isn't on the top surface of the seat foam directly below the cover, there is an additional thin layer of padding on top of the gel about 1/8" thick. 2 ***2015 Candy Red FJ-09*** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good to know! Thanks .. imagine even on the new seat, it Hass to be more comfortable with the gel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garybinnyc Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 All right this is very strange but I was just told by chromeburner.. they spoke with Bagster and no longer are making seats for 2015 models.. kind of surprised and can’t help but wonder if the 2015 is the same as 16 1718? Any thoughts? That’s really the seat I want but if I have to refer to a Corbin or something I guess I will Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe in countries that actually got a 2018 model, that was actually a Tracer. ***2015 Candy Red FJ-09*** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iamthedruman Posted April 26, 2021 Share Posted April 26, 2021 So here's a question for those in the know - is the 15 - 17 saddle the same as the Tracer/Tracer GT saddle from 18 - 20? According to the Chromeburner website, they would seem to be interchangeable (assuming you don't mind the 'Tracer GT' embroidery). Can experts chime in?

PhotoAl Posted April 26, 2021 Share Posted April 26, 2021 pretty sure the Tracer GT (2019-2020) is a different seat than the 15-17 seat. I have a Bagster which I'm very happy with - bought it from another forum member with 50 miles on it. It was not the total nirvana I thought it might be but better than stock. It is wider and feels firm. I rode 250 miles one day but had 560+ the next day so popped my AirHawk on top of it. I've done that 560 mile ride several times on a BMW F800GT standard seat, standard seat + Air Hawk, Comfort seat + Air Hawk, Yamaha Tracer GT with Standard seat + Air Hawk and now Tracer GT Bagster + AirHawk. Bagster seat + AirHawk is the best combo so far! The Bagster seat by itself is supportive and firm but not soft. I expect the Bagster takes some miles to break in - comfort seat on my BMW seemed to take 1,000 miles. I expect the Bagster will only continue to get better. It looks great and I've never had a seat even with the AirHawk where at the end of a near 600 mile day I did not have some painful spots and had to stop more frequently. This time I was able to focus on "how far can I stretch the gas mileage". I only made three stops in the ride - one was a lunch and gas stop so it was longer. I don't recall ever standing on the pegs either so while it didn't amaze me in initial sit, it obviously does what it is supposed to! There is a difference between firm and does what it should and hard - LOL for hard you should try a 2012 CBR600RR seat! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, the FJ09 and Tracer seats aren’t interchangeable 2 ***2015 Candy Red FJ-09*** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
