Advice needed on eBay seat

[Caf3racer]

I have been looking at one of these seats on eBay for a GN400 Cafe' project I am working on and was wondering if anyone else has gotten a seat like this from China and what they thought of it. The pics look good but, that can be deceiving. Also, any additional fees with the import?

THANKS guys.

Got one of these seats from retromoto. They are mass produced then re badged by a number of over seas companies. Mine seems built well enough, but it's a one size fits all deal, so expect some modification one way or another. Mine is still hanging on the wall waiting for a project. I can take some more measurements if you need something more specific than what's on the listing

Looks a lot like one I recently bought from Eddie Moto (Thailand) on eBay, but paid about double. I measured mine and it's about 24" and I think sized about right. So the one you are looking at might be a bit small.

Buy a real seat.

Thanks for the info. I just paid for one from forum member DohcBikes. From the replies I got here and from one other place that took some prompting to get any feedback, I think it will be acceptable. The one in the eBay link measures (so they say) at 21" long. For this little GN400, that is fine.

Thanks again.

Yes this seat measures exactly 21"

ANYONE know what material is the hump made of, meaning is it stiff plastic or is it foam?

 

[Caf3racer]

I'll let you know as soon as get mine from DohcBikes. Though.....he may answer before then.

 

[DohcBikes]

It's foam

Wouldn't it make more sense to post the details here so others could benefit as well? I thought that was the whole idea behind a forum.

I was wondering the same thing.... Perhaps that was just a sales ploy by Speed Moto...
