To 670cc...okay...my bike is apparently an X and not an S type as I was told whem my insurance agent entered the VIN. To be honest, I didnt even know there was an S type so it took me by surprise and I was pretty sure I had screwed up. After more research I am now positive that my bike is an X model which is good if I decide to order a Sargent seat. Thanks again for your input.
TWIMC...okay, so here’s where I am on this seat thing. After some experimentation I ended up ordering a Sargent seat and had a long conversation with them about making my seat to correct the forward tilt issue, which they did a good job with and My lower back is no longer the issue. That’s the good news. The bad news is that while the Sargent seat is definitely an improvement over the stock seat, my arse is still killing me. I put about 175 miles on today and was pretty miserable. Rode another 150 last Saturday and had the same experience. Not sure if I need to send the seat back to Sargent for them to add additional foam ( $90.00 plus shipping) or maybe think about trying an Airhawk ( $125 approx) or something similar. I am planning a long ride for the fall and between the seat issues and the rear shock problems, I’m starting to wonder if I can get this bike properly sorted out in terms of comfort.
Any further wisdom to add?

Interesting. I am hoping it will break in at some point. Right now it’s about to break me! I am definitely looking at the Airhawk as an option.My Sargent did not feel right until about four thousand miles. I used an Airhawk for that time.
