I've had two other Sageant seats in the past and loved them, still have one on my '06 VFR-800. When I got my '11 C-14, I hated the forward lean and ordered a new Sargeant. When it arrived, it was beautiful. I couldn't wait to sit on it, and then...it was terrible. It too had a forward lean and it was back in the box within 10 minutes. To be clear, it was not the Sargeant low seat, it was the regular. I now have a Corbin, which is "hard", but it is, without question, the best seat I've ever purchased. It's very flat, not any forward lean, but I did have to put risers on it to be comfortable since I have rather short arms. Good luck, and GO IRISH!!!
