what seat is that?

Post by: Natman on August 08, 2013, 06:52:45 PM

Its made byTop Sellerie of France.   Blood Bikes posted the ad he found on Gumtree so I had to buy it...... Not managed to ride out on it yet but it certainly looks and feels better than the stock seat!

looks about as comfy as a goldwing seat...

can't wait for your writeup after you've ridden it

how much did that set you back?
Title: Re: New seat fitted
Post by: Natman on August 08, 2013, 06:59:24 PM
Managed to pick it up for $230, minus what I got for the Airhawk sold on this site......... BARGAIN!

Can't wait to read the road test. Make it a long one Mate. Looks fantastic. Hope it lives up to it's good looks.  :thumb

Theyre priced in Euros not Aussie dollars.  Current exchange rate €1 Eur = $1.47 AUD
Title: Re: New seat fitted
Post by: tj189 on August 09, 2013, 05:23:14 AM
delivery is expensive around 131 euro
Title: Re: New seat fitted
Post by: STill dreaming on August 09, 2013, 06:47:51 AM
Yes it's a bit but not the $1000 that some manufactures want.
Title: Re: New seat fitted
Post by: StinkyPete on August 09, 2013, 07:41:18 AM
212 Euros for the seat plus 130 Euros for delivery converts to $503 Aussie dollars, delivered to your door.    Not a bad price, so we are all hanging out to hear how it scrubs up on a long ride.

I wonder if they would offer a discount if they received multiple orders from OzSTOC. Those wanting one combine together to place an order.

Worth thinking about....
Title: Re: New seat fitted
Post by: Marcus on August 09, 2013, 10:29:52 AM
Will wait for feedback, but it really looks comfy as anything
Title: Re: New seat fitted
Post by: Sabie on August 09, 2013, 10:50:11 AM
Yep, I'm talking about after feedback
Title: Re: New seat fitted
Post by: BigTed on August 09, 2013, 11:08:36 AM
what configuration did you choose (material, color,...), style (long, short,...), etc.?
Title: Re: New seat fitted
Post by: Holzie on August 09, 2013, 12:05:49 PM
Certainly looks the goods..... So will be interested to hear road test report after a few hours of sitting on it :rockon

It's got the right shape- level rather than tipped forward.  No idea why Honda think tipped forward is a good idea.  Maybe it suits the Japanese body shape (or short rides).

That has a lot of merit Sabie if the verdict is all :thumbs.
Could be considerable savings me thinks.

Good thought Sabie  :thumbsup
I for one would be very interested to know if it places one's feet any closer to terra firma?? 
It looks like it might, but if it's any wider than the stock seat, then it might not! 
Title: Re: New seat fitted
Post by: Pete on August 17, 2013, 04:45:41 PM
Very nice looking seat, I am also very interested in the ride report.
Great idea about bulk purchase price Sabie

I'd love to give a ride report however I've not been able to go out on the ST since fitting the seat!!!!!!!!! Defeats the point of having a bike clearly but plan a ride out this weekend so will report back!
Title: Re: New seat fitted

Finally I'm at court in Bathurst on Tuesday so the ST and new seat get a ride out.  Wind deflector kits arrive from the US on Wednesday also;-)

There is a modification for the deflectors so that the cover piece near you knee does not go astray.  can't find the post
Title: Re: New seat fitted
Post by: Abe on August 25, 2013, 07:12:02 PM
I did see that as I was looking for deflectors for the 1100.  If I'm right, from memory there was a modification of putting pin in the deflector that was loose??

It may have been from the STowners site (good site as well)

Cheers
Dave
