I've got a Sargent seat on my '04 BCR. It was a big improvement to me over the stocker. Will I do 900-1000 mile days? Hell no, but I wouldn't want to do that anyway, I like to stop and enjoy places along the way. 400 in a day though was no problem. Sliding side to side in the twisties is no problem either. I'd say if you can get it at a good price, give it a shot, I wasn't disappointed. Oh, and it's definitely one piece.
