Borbro seat scam?

[waterloo700]

Has anyone come across a seat manufacturer called Borbro?

There is an 1100 riders seat for sale on Fleabay - seller based in Hungary with a single feedback point - buyer also in Hungary - also with a single feedback point!

Looks well dodgy - or am I just being a cynical old git?

Would hate anyone from our community to get scammed.

Their English blurb is interesting.......

"Clean the leather surface from time to time, smear it with any kind of greasy cream (e.g. handcream), let it be drunk in, then wipe off the surplus with a smooth textile."

I'm going to smear mine with lard - should make all the debate about ABS redundant.

Lard

After Grandad got ill, my Grandma smeared lard on his back.




He went down hill quickly after that!

The old ones are the best.

Well, the seats are still on Ebay, and it seems that the buyers are satisfied with how the deals went down.

Has anybody here tried them out? How is this seat compared to Corbin, Sargent etc?

My bum desperately needs something else for this season..

Since I first posted this I've had my original seats refurbished by Motorcycleseatworks near Halifax - www.motorcycleseatworks.co.uk.
Had the riders seat raised by around 4" to give me more legroom. He uses much denser (and heavier) foam - very pleased with the results.
