I got my gel Sargent seat from Ebay Clive. I guess that won’t help you much as I’ve only seen that one but I can thoughroly recommend them. Much, much kinder on the arse ;)and all but stops the tendency to slip up to the tank :D. Corbin also do one although may not be “gel”. Could well be others??

Tecnosel do a foam seat which may not be as comfy as a Sargant seat but its miles better than the standard item. I've used the Tecnosel for quite a few long trips and its good.

Your right, however, the manufacturer won't deal direct with individuals in the UK so you have to deal with the importer who charges £195 + £10 postage.

Im in the us with work and have seen a company on ebay.com selling them a whole lot cheaper, ok you gotta pay $35 postage (£17), but at 130 quid who can complain

according to the website they only ship to USA or Canada. Assuming they ship to the UK what's the postage and how much for the import tax and VAT?

you'll have to contact them yourself, but vat is 17.5% and import duty is generally around 9%
I spoke to them a couple of months ago about it.
