azpilgrims,

Thanks for starting this group buy.
Put me down for a 5th gen black/red trim

If I understand correctly, this is more for confirming with Sandhill that you have X number of us ready to buy.

Hi,

If I'm not too late to the gig, you can put me down for a 6th gen with black trim.

If it's a problem shipping to Canada, I'll have it shipped to my out-laws, oops sorry, my in-laws in VT. Just let me know when and whom to pay.

And thanks AZ for organizing this. Much appreciated!

Yeah you just call up Sandhill powersports and say you're from VFRWorld.com as part of the group buy for the sargent VFR seat.

We should be up at 10 buyers now. I wonder if we'll get an awesome deal out of this!!

I contacted Sandhills Powersports and they said:

Unfortunately regardless of number the initial price quote will be the best we can do for the group buy. I will keep you posted once they are available. Thanks

I believe our only choices are Red, Silver, and Black Trim. Yes, the rear cowl will fit with the new seat. Here is a pic from their website:

Drat - and I paid $420 for one a month ago!!! Should be receiving it any day now. Did have the front of the seat shaved to drop me down another 1" so I can reach the ground with both feet.

While I think the stock seat is OK, my longest ride on my new acquisition has only been 100 miles (I just bought SeaDooLoo's motorcycle who previously roamed here) I'd like to join the fray if we can get to $300 each.

6th gen (2002)
Black with red piping

I need to pay via money order...assume Sandhill can manage that.

Thanks.

Jim

I posted the response from Sandhills Motorsports above, the lowest they will go is $ 310.00 Each with Free Shipping. That is the best deal we are going to get on these seats, I have called around to other Sargent Dealers and they all said they cannot beat the price that Sandhills Motorsports is offering us.

Once I receive the email that the seats are in back in stock, everyone is welcome to call them and order under this group purchase - just mention you are part of the VFRWorld.com Group Buy and you will receive the deal.

Thanks for the help. $310 is fine for me.

Can you please let me know if I'm 'in' as technically, you already had 10 people when I responded?

Thanks again.

I hear you, I am going for another 200 Mile Ride Saturday - the stock seat makes me feel like I rode a horse bareback all day.

You are welcome. Anyone reading this can call Sandhills Motorsports and get the Group Buy Price, once they are in stock I will let everyone know. I put together the list in an effort to get Sandhills to give us a better price if we went from 5 people to 10 - they said $ 310.00 with free shipping is the best they can offer us. With that being said, anyone can call Sandhills, say they are part of the VFRWorld.com Group Buy and they can order their seat for $ 310.00 with free shipping.

Once I hear back from them that the seats are in stock, I will post it up here on the forum - then we can order up the seats.
