All,
I want to take a moment to offer some feedback on the Sargent seat for the Super Tenere now that I've put about a 1200+/miles on it. I owned a 2013 Super Tenere and now own a 2014 Super Tenere ES (replacement). I had a Corbin (driver seat only) on my 2013 and I'll be honest, I was unimpressed and didn't feel like it was much more comfortable than stock (for me at least). I know that seats are very personal and what I may hate someone else may love, but I definitely did not like it.
Recently I bought the driver and passenger Sargent seats for my 2014 Super Tenere and I could not be happier if I wished for it. This seat is SO much more comfortable than stock and I absolutely find the shape to be so much better for long distance riding - I must also mention it is light years better than the Corbin I had on my 2013. I can move around on it, yet it still has a sweet spot that I fall back into which offers excellent support all over. My girlfriend absolutely loves the rear seat too and on a recent 500/mile two up trip she never complained one bit, but she initially would complain after only about 50-70/miles on the stock seat.
The build quality is fantastic and I couldn't think of anything they could improve upon...from the seat cover material and fit, to the pan, etc....it's all excellent. I must also note that I ordered the seat direct from Sargent. I initially was going to order online with a slight discount (10%), but after receiving such excellent advise and help on the phone with Sargent directly I could not help but to in turn provide them my business directly.
I strongly recommend this seat to anyone that is looking to upgrade. This seat transformed the motorcycle to me and it now has that "home" feeling when you climb back on it throughout the day. I actually look forward to getting back on it after fueling up whereas I would have rather taken a beating from Mike Tyson than get back on the stock seat when refueling.
To each their own, but that's my 2 cents!
BTW, for what it's worth, I'm 5'9", 30" inseam and 180 lbs.
