Check your RatNet inbox. I copied some info to you re Sargent I received from another poster to this site. Was useful for me.

Toby, Sargent can reuse the stock seat cover, no problem. I had mine refoamed with the "super cell atomic" foam and love it! A big improvement on comfort and support. Came back looking just like when I sent it down to them. In fact, the one, very minor complaint I have is that I wish they had "foamed" it as a true "plank" seat. They followed the contour and my smooshed addition to it a bit more than I would have liked. But it is still great!
Navigating their website and order work sheet can be a bit confusing. I called down and talked to the head of the "seat work division", I believe his name was Bob (not sure, I wouldn't swear to it), very helpful, explained everything and walked me through the paper work.

Also, check the "web specials" section of the website. They have a coupon for discounts on seat work quite often.

I sent my 2005 T100 OEM seat down to Sargents over the holidays for application of the super cell foam. I haven't ridden it yet, but I can say that it feels good just sitting on it, it looks great, and they used the OEM cover. I had a seat for a Yamaha recovered and refoamed by them several years ago and their work is, IMO, good and dependable. Their turn-around over the holidays was less than two weeks from the time I sent it from TN to the time I received it back, but it's probably a bit longer now that we're back in the season. If it would stop snowing in East TN, I could actually ride the bike and check out the seat.
