Anyone purchased through Sportster Seat?

[Mr Bernzo]

I have been looking for a seat or seat pan for months now to make a cafe seat out of for a gt185. I want an original style seat base so I can use the hinge mount.
Anyone used Sportster Seat? Just found them online today. http://sdpjz.sqcfa.servertrust.com/default.asp
Seats look good, price is ok, never heard of them before though.

I'm a little curious as well.

Hmmm,
Their email is a gmail acount, and they do not mention what country they are in. Link to their Facebook page is a no go. I think I'll look elsewhere.

Agree, I'm not up for the risk. Looks too dodgy to me.

I had the same question.

So it looks like Sportster Seat is Texavina.
I emailed Texavina and got a quick reply. Waiting on details of postage cost and some images before I commit to a purchase.

If you make the plunge let me know how you make out.

Just paid for a seat with Texavina. Should be despatched in a day or 2....... I hope! Cost $250USD delivered which is kind of pricy but I cant find a seat in any condition anywhere in Australia, appart from the one I have that is to good to cut up. Will post photos when it arrives

Just got my seat from Texavina, about 2 weeks after ordering. Looks good. Uses an original seat base which I wanted for access to the oil tank. Very happy with it.

Well I received my seat yesterday and I must say I am impressed by the quality. BUT, it's the wrong seat pan so I can't mount it perfectly on m CL350 K1. However, the seller realized this before I even received my seat and said that they would send out another and reimburse me for the return shipping of the wrong seat to their CA location, so I'm currently waiting for a new seat.

My engine is still out of the frame so I'm in no rush and will wait patiently, just want something that looks good and mounts on the stock hinge.
