Vendor for Sargent Seat Group Buy?

[Mellow]

Anyone have a good vendor that might want to try a group buy on Sargent seats?

Last time we used CAsporttouring and rather than using the same one all the time I thought it would be good to try a different one, nothing against them, just good to spread the business around.

If you have a vendor we can use, shout and give them a call or I can do it.

I'll add a poll here too to see if anyone would be interested.

My 1100 definitely needs a new seat, and with the new job, I may actually be able to afford one! Lemme do some research on Sargent first.

[UNTMatt]

I don't know a vendor but our ST needs a new seat....

[FireSporT]

I've got the stock seat and will soon be taking a 4-day trip w/ my SO the first week of June. I'm pretty sure that after that she'll have no problem w/spending the $$$ for a Sargent.

I am going to take it easy on the ride and only go for a couple of hours at a time. It's our anniversary and I want to be able to enjoy it.

[STumpy]

Count me in.

[Trekker]

I too might be interested..... but I haven't yet decided on which seat to buy for my 1100.
I've seen the Sargent on 1300's, sat on a Corbin on an 1100, and sat on a Russel on another 1100. I need to convince a buddy to let me borrow his Corbin for a day so I can make an informed decision.

[bygdawg]

I might be in as well. I've added a sheepskin to my stocker and will have to see the difference it makes.

[wayfire]

try ridenow.com they had the best price when I bought my Sargent backrest.

[Rory MacDonell]

Hey!
Yes, I would be interested. I definitely need a new seat of some type!

[Kempo-STer]

Hey Joe..
Yeah I think its time

[rwl1955]

I also could be interested if we include ST1100`s.

[jrocket16]

I may be interested if we can get a deal on the back rest. I already have a seat and the top box pad to match. I just need the smaller back rest for my wife for local riding.

[Yogi]

I am definitely interested

[Mark]

I am definitely interested

Oh come on Yogi... You know you don't need a new seat... you just need to ride more!!!!

:rolleyes:

[Yogi]

Oh come on Yogi... You know you don't need a new seat... you just need to ride more!!!!

:rolleyes:

Yeah , I know I am a slacker ;) but if I had a comfy seat I could put on more miles daily.. Of course I am still considering dropping the moolah for a Russell:p:

[Stmike]

I'm interested in a saregent seat too, all the money I'm spending on the bike, good thing first ppayment isn't due yet.

Mike

[mather3]

I would consider a new seat. The stock one is the worse I have owned on any bike.

[Yogi]

After reading some other posts in another thread I think I am just going to bite the bullet and go with a Russell Day Long.

[timmybob4]

Taking my first rode trip in a couple of weeks. So far my longest ride has been about 250 miles and I was approaching the first case of monkey butt I have had since I owned a Sportster. (And we stopped at the 100 mile mark for lunch, so my longest stretch without getting off the bike is 150 miles.) I think I am in the market for a Sargent, but I will know for sure after the aforementioned trip.

[Louie Louie]

I already have a Sargeant. However, they recently started offering a heated seat. For those that already have a Sargeant seat, one can send it in and have the heating stuff added for $150.
Will they give me break on the prize if I say I am w/ the group buy?

[Rolling Thunder]

Count me in.
Do we have eough buyers?

[stackman]

Count me in too.

[sbrumer78]

count me in also!! 540 in one day. spent the last 100 miles doing the one cheek sneak

[lr1228]

Sounds good to me also..up in the air on a russell or sargent..but i ned one quickly...

[markosde]

I want a Sargent seat, and before I leave for Sturgis so lets get the ball rolling if we can!

[STill Fiddlin]

I also could be interested if we include ST1100`s.
I emailed Sargent about the availability of a seat for the ST1100, and they said they could do a foam alteration package and recover.

Don't think this would work with a group buy, but who knows. Someone would probably have to approach Sargent directly to include ST1100s.

[Wake ForeST]

ST1100 other option from Oregon Areo:

Mark,

Our typical Motorcycle seat upgrade would consist of removing the existing cover and removing some of the standard molded foam material. Now we replace the foam with a visco-elastic Confor (memory) form, contouring the Confor foam in the same general design as the original seat, so the existing cover will still fit, and then reattach the existing cover. A seat cushion upgrade like this cost $150.00-$200.00, depending if it’s just the rider’s seat or rider and passenger’s seat.

We can Custom design the complete cushion system to your wants and needs; however we could not reuse the existing cover.

So a completely redesigned seat cushion system with a new Custom seat cover upholstered in Ultra (manmade) Leather or Genuine Leather would cost $475.00-$575.00.

If we use a less expensive vinyl for the custom cover you would save $50.00-$75.00.

Any Questions? Call me @ 800-888-6910.


Thank you,

Dave

These people are highly respected in the Experimental Aircraft arena. Pulling over to stretch your legs during a 4 hour flight is NOT a reasonable option.

PS: I believe I remember them starting out with an ST1100 (http://oregonaero.com/products/details.aspx?ID=1449&CID=583) seat

[UNTMatt]

Do we have a group buy on these? I need to get an order in pretty quick. We have a trip to Michigan the first week of July and I want to get the seats ordered plenty of time in advance in case something goes wrong.

[Mellow]

Have been too busy to find a vendor, people had some complaints from the last group buy on these seats, not because of the seats themselves... so, I was hoping to find another source.

Anyone have any good contacts with distributors?

[STumpy]

Hope someone can come up with a Vendor, I am looking forward to getting this as soon as possible.

[_DigitalFish_]

Depending on price I might be interested.

[georgiamanxx]

I have a sargent seat for sale. I am looking at upgrading to the Russel and will sell the sargent. I also have a corbin heated close for the 1300. PM with offer if interested.

I can get in touch with the folks that I bought my seat from (Sandhills Powersports) and see if they are interested..

What do you guys think?

It's worth a shot - I think if they can sell 20 or more they could offer a discount... maybe...

[Kempo-STer]

OK I will give it a shot...

[STumpy]

What do you guys think?

Worst they can say is NO. I think it is worth a shot, since this group buy appears to be stalled.

[Kempo-STer]

OK...I've been in touch with Sandhills who in turn have been in touch with Seargent directly....

It is now a matter of logistics, getting a price, option list and delivery time and working the ordering mechanism out. I am following up on that.
Stay tuned.

Here is their response:

We would love to help everyone out on a group buy. I called Sargent yesterday to see about the availability of getting 20+ seats and it sounded pretty good (maybe 1-2 weeks) as our current Sargent seat distributor does not carry that many seats. We were trying to think how we could easily do this for that many riders and we thought we might try to set up a special web page showing the lower price and allow everyone to purchase them that way. You could post the link on the forum to the special page and give a deadline for when we would be placing the order through Sargent. Calling us would work as well. Any thoughts from you. Let us know
Thanks again,

EXCELLENT. Let us know how it develops!

[Kempo-STer]

EXCELLENT. Let us know how it develops!


I've got an email out to Lee inquiring about the details..

AS soon as I know I will work with Mellow to present it to you guys but it is looking good. (of course I already bought mine a couple of week ago:eek: )

If you are looking into buying a Sargent..Hold off a but until this is solidified.
Should not be long..

[silverbub]

woops...i just ordered yesterday(friday, 6/16)...however...the $485 with no shipping cost from sandhill was enough of a price break for me to go ahead with ordering...they said the black welt on carbon fx seat was backordered...but there were a few silver welts still available as of yesterday...that was fine by me with a 03st13 anyway...if i do not care for silver welt...some carefully applied black dye can change things...i just hope sargent seat will remedy the "slide to the tank" syndrome of stock seat & the "burn" after a few miles...thanks for you-all's info!:bow1:

[UNTMatt]

Too late for me...I'm out. I needed the seats by July 1st so I ordered from RL Motorcycles (http://www.rlmotorcycles.com/home/default.htm).

YOO HOO - anybody home? Is this going to happen or has everyone lost interest? :confused:

[STumpy]

I'm still in. Just waiting to hear back.

[Mellow]

Someone is working on it and he'll post the details as soon as he can.

Sorry if it isn't fast enough but the timing doesn't always work out for everyone.

[Kempo-STer]

Wrapping up all the details..

Part of the offerings will include mostly EVERYTHING that seargent offers for the ST..

Including back rests, Honda line top box pads, side case covers..

They are checking with Seargent about a deal on retrofitting current owners who want to add heat..

Details should be out in a day or so..

[Mellow]

Thank you sir!... You are a good man.

[STumpy]

Terrific ! :bow1:

[lieu910]

I may jump in. My Corbin is okay, but I'd like to try a Sargent and see which feels better. Can always sell the other.

[FireSporT]

Wifey and I went on a ride the other day. I think that convinced her that a group but onthe Sargent id good. Looks like I'm in as long as the price is right.

[Kempo-STer]

Waiting to hear from Sandhills today...
They will have a websight to order form and I will be able to put the details into a new post..

Stay tuned
