Custom seats

DUCAUDI · Posted: 04:19 - 29 Jan 2023 Post subject: Custom seats

We've used Top Sellerie for my wife's Rebel 500 and very impressed with the product. Also their website is quite good for selecting the design you want online. Only problem is now we're not in the EU it's a little bit agro getting the stuff delivered from France.

I've heard of Corbyn, but unless I'm mistaken I think they're based in USA and the same problems exist as with Top Sellerie in regards to customs and shipping.

Anyone care to recommend any other companies who do custom comfort gel/heated seats? Preferably UK-based with a decent online ordering website.

Don't buy a Corbyn seat, it'll be short, ugly and antisemetic. Corbin seats on the other hand have a very good reputation. See if anyone's selling one on ebay, their international shipping program makes it easy. Effectively you pre-pay the shipping and duty then ebay import it for you and re-ship it from the UK.

I wouldn't have expected it to be too much agro getting one from France.

A lot depends on how much the seller wants to sell to you. if they do, they'll make it easy. You can usually tell with the French because if they didn't want to sell to the UK, they wouldn't have an English language website or be paying for a .co.uk website.

Anyway. I quite regularly buy stuff from india for my Enfields. Once your item hits the UK, the courier company contacts you to let you know what tax is due, you pay that through their website and they dispatch your part. Adds a day to the process. I'd say more than half the time, nobody bothers their arse anyway and the parts just arrive.

I got a gel Top Sellerie one for the Tracer, mate of mine got his K1300 saddle done by a local upholstery business. Took his original one there and asked them to redo it in memory foam.

The Top Sellerie one looks a lot fancier with its cool piping and Yamaha MT logos etc, but the local upholstery one is a whole league more comfortable and significantly cheaper & quicker too. So might be worth seeing who's recommended in your area.
