I was contacted recently by another forum member, Mike54, WRT my post about wanting a SeatConcepts seat for my KTM 690.
The proposal was that he, me and another forum member order the seat cover and foam sets we wanted as one order from SeatConcepts. This reduces the shipping costs per unit, and also earned us a magic 20% discount.
Sadly the third party has pulled out. Mike and I will still go ahead with the order, we won't get any discount, but we do save on the shipping. If anyone has been thinking about ordering direct form SeatConcepts and wants to join us to get a 20% discount on a seat cover and foam set and save on their shipping costs, then right now is a good time to shout. :woohoo:
SeatConcepts mainly sell foam and cover, not whole seats. One then needs to find a local person with the proper tools to remove the cover and foam from the existing seat and fit the new. Have a read at their website (link above) if you are not familiar with the product. FWIW, we are both ordering the carbon/gripper cover and foam, mine with orange stitching, not sure about Mike.
For logistical and mental health reasons we do not want to make this a giant group buy order, we are looking for one more person who is prepared to front their share of the cost, now...
It will be about £140 to the UK, depending on exchange rates, HMRC duty and handling charges, give or take say £20. Then a bit to get Parcelforce to bring it your doorstep if you are nowhere near Mike to collect - like me.
Either post here, PM me or Mike54 if you want in, or need more details.

I just paid £168 for mine, all in for my 690

I got a mate who's after a Seat Concept seat for a 690 he's just bought. I'll pass this onto him

All being well, at todays exchange rate, £140 is worst case. Not using USPS either with its agents (parcelforce) rip off "handling" fee
Harty, did you do the stapling yourelf?

We are keen to get the order placed, I need to take my 1200GS off the road for a short while. I don't think my back could take 2/3 weeks commuting on the KTM plank. If anyone wants to join us, can you let us know before Monday 20:00BST?
