I didn't see anywhere on the site where he wants your measurements.  Is that a big problem?  $250.00 (aprox)..........a good deal?

Doug,

This listing looks more like it would be around $350 plus your OEM seat...I don't know...I guess it's still cheaper than the top-of-the-line touring seat brands out there...now ya got me wondering...hmmm...I do have a stock seat that I'm not using...hmmm?

 I do, I think I will contact them to see if I can ride down, only about three hours from here.

It's a $300.00 seat with $100.00 refundable "Core" charge ($200.00).  Add his $25.00 for shipping and about the same to ship him a core ($50.00, total cost $250.00?).  Am I thinking this out correctly?

Well, I guess I was reading it as $300 for the seat (wasn't counting the core charge since I have a spare seat I could send him right away)...$25 for shipping back to me...and, say, $25 to ship my stock seat to him...I like your reasoning better!  It really isn't clear whether the $300 includes the core charge...or not 

If your math is correct...I think I'm in!

If he's legit and the quality is good, he's going to have lots of business. Just bought a Corbin (which I DO like) but I'd  have ridden up there (about  3 hours for me, too) to check him out if I had not. Let us know what  you find!

[CRocker]

I went back and re-read the ad...kinda makes me think it's $300 plus the core...but, I sent him a question about it...

Will post what his response is...

Doug, I have hung around my bud Rocky long enough to spot a cheap seat. And that is one. Notice how loose the cover fits. Also material used in  motorycycle seats differs form that in other upholstery. I would look at that seat in person before i buy. Just my 2 cents. Just dont want to see you get taken. If you are looking at getting your seat done call me.

Got a couple of responses back from him today...

Pay him $300...send him your seat...pay him $25 for return shipping...your custom seat will show up pretty soon...

or

Pay him $300 plus $100 core charge plus $25 for shipping...he will ship you a custom seat...you send him your good core seat...he will refund your $100 core charge.

Seems pretty straightforward...but, yeah, I also wondered about how that cover was fitting in the picture...

Hmmm...?

If anyone decides to get one hope they can post some pics.  I have been looking at this seat myself.  Like the shape of it.

A used Russel seat can usually be had for 350-450... And you can not go wrong with a Russel day long....  And you can guarantee a re-sale for about the same $ when your done with it....  But take a look it is your butt... Later all
 

[Stasch]

I think you can go wrong buying a used Russell unless your body dimensions and weight are pretty similar to the person for whom the seat was made.
