My new seats just arrived!
I'm no Boy-Racer..... but if I can't take every on-ramp at TWICE the posted limit.... I'm a total failure!
Re: My new seats just arrived!
looks nice but the lack of back adjustment will make proper fitment crucial

Re: My new seats just arrived!
P picked-em up from a guy in the UK. They were cheap enough (even with shipping to the US) that I thought I'd give 'em a try.
they are comfortable enough while sitting in my living room.... but Mark makes a good point about fitment being crucial. However.... I can't rememebr the last time I touched my adjustment knob on the stock seats... so once they're 'right', I'm sure that'll be fine.
An inspection of them makes me think they are built in the guys' home-based shop. I mean, they have the look and feel of very-custom. The stitching looks high-quality, and the frame under the foam & "leatherette" shows signs of being worked by hand.
I have only one criticism of them at this point; the lower foam is not really attached to the support under it, and so when my larger-size BUTT comes-out of the seat, the foam slides forward. I think I'll peel it all back enough to add some sort of attachment there.
I'll keep ya posted once they're installed.

Re: My new seats just arrived!
sure, post the link. You might consider velcro on the bottom cushion, that way you can easily pull it out for cleaning
