    Hudders knows a guy near where he lives, who would refoam and recover for considerabley less than than, at least then you could have it sculptured to your requirements

    Failing that someone on here may well be looking for a lower seat and willing to trade

    What he took out of Hudders's he could put in mine

    Cheers Russ just gobsmacked at the huge difference in price, if anything I would have thought it would have been the other way around, the low one being dearer, strange world

    I have a Transalp 2006 'Custom Seat' (professional job www.motorbike-seats.co.uk) which is 'low' and fitted with a Gelastic Pad. It is only taking up space in the garage and needs a good home. If anyone is interested please PM me and we can sort something out, else it will be on eBay shortly.
