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

. 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.

shame the person with the highest bid on that item currently is prepared to pay more than they are available new in the US !! Doh

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
