Title: Why won't Seth Laam sell me a seat?
Post by: catsfive on June 19, 2014, 03:23:22 PM: I contacted him. Filled out his form. Even spoke to him on the phone. That was three weeks ago. Then I was away, maybe he's away? I'm impressed with his seats. I'd LIKE to give him my business but, anyone know what's up with him and his shop? Maybe he's having an emergency elsewhere? Just curious because I don't want to bug him if there's a good reason. I can't find anywhere on his site that says he doesn't sell to Canadian customers...

Have patience, art is not to be hurried! ;D

Post by: mikeb2411 on July 08, 2014, 01:55:52 PM: I emailed Seth and asked a question regarding a new seat but haven't heard back so I'll ask you guys...when ordering a new seat from Laam, do you have to send your seat to him or does he build it around another pan?

How long does it take? I ride every day so the thought of parking the bike for an extended period of time sucks!
