no

its sergeant or make your own I am afraid to say

BUT

if you were to buy one in the states, and get it shipped to you, you may well find the price more acceptable...

oh - I did not bother with the pillion saddle....

Well, your pillion rides on a separate (more reliable) bike

From the states it's still $280 for the front seat plus shipping. The rear is only $30 extra on top. I'll give bootleggers a call tomorrow to chase up the email I sent them.

i think the 280 usd is translated to 280 ukp.....

It bugs me how you can pay 280 dollars, but still 280 pounds, if there was a euro office I'm sure they'd charge 280 euros. I wonder if there's a Chinese office, 280 yen would be nice

remember the customs if it is not sent as a gift and if they are allowed to send outside of USA (uneducated simple arses ??) due to danger to the civilized world etc

Sending as a gift isn't going to help at that sort of value.

Even getting it from the states with someone sending me it as a marked down value or a gift isn't going to help. Assuming it'll cost about $330 including carriage that's still over £200, I'm not going to spend that on a seat if I can get one done over here for under £100 as it's one of those "it'd be nice" rather than "i really want that".

I'd rather spend £100 on the seat, then the other £100 on an oberon slave as my clutch has started dragging a tiny bit at the lights so will need sorting anyway.

Keith - old git - had his seat re-upholstered a while back, & was very pleased with the result; send him a PM

It might be cheaper to get your arse recovered.
Ginsters and Pukka Pies both offer a competitive service
