Hi, I bought a GS replica race seat from Unity last year but wasn't happy with the way it fitted...or looked for that matter! Its unused and cost a little over £150....yours for half price if interested!

There are a lot of different styles of "cafe racer" seat. If you have a stock pan, you can take it to a saddle maker and have it shaped/covered most any way you like. It may cost a little more (e.g. my last custom seat at Corbin was $325, built on my pan to my specs and fitted to my butt) but it would be a true one-of-a-kind custom.

Yes, I did the same, made a seat base and have just sent it to be upholstered....
I'll admit to being slightly obsessed by the look of a seat, they never seem to fit the frame quite right so I did the same last year with a dual seat as well.....

Hi, yes the offer still stands! Have to say though I wasn't very impressed with the fit which is why I never used it and made my own instead.....
