Hi all! Ran into this site and thought I might get a bit of help witha question. Looking for a solo "Manx" type seat for my 72 interstate and I have found, what appears to be a nice seat offered by two firms in the states...but at also a very nice price. One firm is in Nova Scotia, the other somewhere, in Oregon i think...won't mention the names here, but they both advertise the same seat and both say the seat is manufactured in the UK by some firm that bought the original seat making tools which were used to do the seats up for Norton back in the 70's.
Naturally neither reseller states which firm makes these seats in the UK, but I would be rather interested to know, as I live in Germany and the thought of spending about 100 dollars just to get the seat sent to me , versus maybe 20 to get the same item shipped from the UK, and paying the import tax to reimport a EU made item, is for me rather stupid, aside from the fact that I might have to sell one of the kids just to pay the cost of the seat, before the Customs/tax get a chance to put thier bounty on it.
Anyone know who is doing these seats up in the uk? Or.......does anyone know of some other source for a good looking Solo seat beside these two resellers, or god forbid that funny lookin/expensive thing from Corbin? Many thanks for any input! Best! Greeting from the land of beer and pretzels...Piperboy
