For those that are uncomfortable on the OE seat, Sargent Seats are now available at the Adventure Bike Shop at £550. Having ridden 15 hours over the last 3 days, for me the seat is a vast improvement.

Is that heated ?
I've had a gander at their site and it looks as though they offer either an OEM heating option or their own version if your bike is not already equipped.
Will certainly be putting an order in unless I hear good reports about the Wunderlich offering.
Not showing for me on their site unfortunately that link just takes me to the main page and if I search Sargent I don’t see one for the 1300
The seats only arrived last Wednesday, so I guess the site has yet to be updated.Not showing for me on their site unfortunately that link just takes me to the main page and if I search Sargent I don’t see one for the 1300

How the seat looks. 
talking to dealer ...hi , this r1300gs , i just paid £16.6k+ for ....why is the seat so shit , that i have to pay another £600 to get something acceptable ?
"They all do that Sir....a painful seat is a feature across the entire BMW range of overpriced shit."
(It's why I have had a secondhand Sargent seat on my last two secondhand BMW's)
I think i'd have to have the pillion seat to match
My effluence doesn't stretch that far.

I’ve ordered some cycling kegs
As much as I'd love the Sargents, over a grand for both (I'd have to get both or it would bother me) is just not gonna happen, for now. I've done 8500 miles with the standard one, I'll persevere for now 
Me tooI’ve ordered some cycling kegs
Skivees I had for the Norway trip,bloody expensive at £65Me too
Cheapskate. Your wife deserves better.I’ve ordered some cycling kegs
Top tip, if you go for a heated seat (stock BMW or aftermarket) don't let the ferry companies strap your bike down across the seat....... Raise the seat and let them strap across the frame beneath it.
It sounds obvious, but having paid good money for a used heated Sargent for my 1250, it was bloody annoying to have to repair the heating element myself. The former keeper insisted it was fine last time he used it before sale, until I asked him if he had been on a Ferry in the meantime.
Sadly, the heating controller for mine got water ingress in a deluge and has died a death, yet more hassle/expense to sort out.

I’ve only done just over 2k miles but my seat is becoming more acceptable, even more so oddly since I put a set Wunderlich bar risers on.
I find the coolcover makes a big difference ( for me)
