I have had one on order for well over a month they are on back order
thats single seat and rack for my R80GS I did my order via James shelocks

However Sibenrock in holland has some in stock I think, give them a call
ask for Mat phone number is 0478 54 14 44 or look on there web site
all prices are in euros I think he might do you a second hand one if he has one in stock he looked out for a HPN tank for me

www.siebenrock.com

I suppose you could try Motorworks for a second hand one you never know might be lucky you can only ask

if not wait for a reply from Rob Farmer or Judge/steptoe they might now of a few more hidey places

According to their website €235.74 Seat is same comfort level and finish as OE, though the profile of the seat means less sliding about. If its comfort you want then do a search on hens teeth and rocking horse shite and you will turn up Bill Meyer saddles and Corbin, for the former you will need a donor seat.

My single has been doctored by Melvyn Hunter, it cost £180 and for a custom seat with gel pads is a huge dissappointment. If I had my time again I'd have found a single OE and sent it to Bill or bought the Corbin single which would have cost me less than OE single and re-upholstering job.

SINGLE

...jeez, Judge, you've put me right off a single seat...

Ogmios · Sep 16, 2005

you're going to hate me but...

.. what solution is there for the opposite;
skinny boney butt on a standard seat (R100gs)?
getting numbbutt after an hour or so

I dunno PJ it's all very subjective. Before you pass it up try and give one a try, if you get on with the OE dual seat but want a single then it will be fine for you.

If I've talked you out of a re-upholstered one I'm not too sad but again some people get on with them fine too.

So far I have tried OE dual, OE single, Melvyn Huntered Single, Touratech Single, Corbin Dual and in the immortal words of Bonio I still haven't found what I'm looking for

Og,

Serious one this - I doubt you have less weight about you than Nobby or Tiff who have both ridden exceptional mileages on nothing more than OE airhead seats, before you let loose silly money I would try the following in cost order:

Sheepskin
Cycle Shorts under bike clothing
Airhawk Seat Pad

Then and only then start shedding money on seats whilst regularly visiting Supermacs and Abrakebabra

Sheepless in seat....le

right..until i get hold of a sheepskin, i'm starting off small and working my way up

got this in France, its the first time i've had a Rabbit under my backside and not under my wheels

Ogmios · Sep 23, 2005

not easy...

damned hard to get that pic - i had competition

.
you see since we brought the fur home, the cats showed a bit of interest.
i laid it out on the back of the sofa to see what they'd do and sometimes find a comatose cat asleep on it.

so, when i took it off the sofa to take the pic - a certain feline of course, poked his nose in!
Not Now Fred!!!
