looks pretty good, but wonder how it feels. But did you notice the huge hole at the back!?! Can you not bolt up the filler piece on the back of the seat? Surely they would've done that for there photos if you could. That just won't do with that big ass hole back there! :hammer:

Hmmm... looks an awful lot like the stock seat, and I imagine that folks who are worried about the abrupt break on the Sargent might prefer this one. My guess is the "hole" in back is where the rear trim piece is on the stocker. Sargent's seat accomodates this - maybe Corbin just left it off for the pictures.

Honestly, though - I was afraid that after Corbin came out with their S3 seat, I'd have a case of buyer's remorse about the Sargent. Lookin' at what they came up with, I don't feel a twinge o' regret.

But then I like the butt-stop, the silver piping, and I like Sargent's cowl-mounting screws a lot better. Others might not.

I'm sure they're both fine items, and anything is better than that stock thing.

I have to agree Sargent looks a lot better. Corbin doesn't seem to elimanate any of the "ball" squishing issues the current triumph seat has. Plus sargent is fixing the fitmant issue, so that is no longer a factor.

Hmmm . . . from a looks perspective, I like the stock seat best, followed by the Corbin, then the Sargeant. I like a clean and simple looking seat and the Sargeant ain't that!

From a comfort perspective, I have no problem with the stock seat, so I'm happy.

The corbin does look good, like the idea of it being a bit lower so I might be able to get more than a toe on the floor !! not happy about the missing bit at the back...

The Sargent seat looks much better IMO. Plus I dont want leather - too much maintenance and stretch. Sargent has a new seat pan that takes care of the fit. I should get a look at one on a friends bike soon - maybe tonight.
Plus Sargent is local here so I could deal directly on any issues. Going to do some other mods first but the Sargents on the list.
