600 seems steep for a used seat, when you get one made for a bit extra IMO

They are $605 US on their website (I paid around $120 to express it to the US, It all up around 8-900ish)
https://www.day-long.com/seat_prices.html (https://www.day-long.com/seat_prices.html)

So to pay 600 for a used seat made for someone else's bum...

You already have good seat Streak. Ask him about the marks on the seat as well.

His price is negotiable, but just be wary of shipping costs.   Nairne is about 30 minutes from me, but I suspect it may be difficult for me to transport on the bike to Uralla,  if Streak buys it.  I can certainly pick it up and package it for shipping.

 Think something has been sat on the seat for a time, should come out with some time in the sun ??

It is the rectangular finish and ours is the half moon, the Half moon has the least stitching of all the options and is the most water ingress resistant, in addition it has slightly more lower back support.

I can only imagine the owner is trading his ST and the seat won't add any value to the dealer so it's being sold separately......if the dealer only knew what he had like we do !!  :whistle


Who ever pics it up and IF it suits their shape/weight/height will be very happy.......it's the single best farkle on ours, 830k's the other afternoon with only a 15 minute fuel/food stop riding 2 up.  ;-*


Cheers

the fellow has bought the bike, and he is 5'4 so he is a touch short for it, so has sorted a suitable seat for himself, terry also did not now about the club, so he is happy that he has heard from us!
