Russell Daylong vs Laam

[Peteoz]

Peteoz. Do you not have any custom seat builders in Australia. You would think a car upholstery place could build you a seat.

I have tried them in the past, JP, with no success. There just isn’t the market for them to specialise like Russell or Laam……..and with their limited experience and access to good raw materials, the solution is questionable

Thanks 2dogs……Yeah, I know Russell works well for me. Probably the only thing that would have moved me to Laam would be if they had their own seat pans, or were able to source cheap seats direct. With the overall cost to buy a 2nd hand seat, get it modified, and then ship it out here, I am looking at around $3k Aussie, all up. Saving a couple of hundred $ with the added question of “will Laam work for me”, really isn’t worth entertaining. Plus, I still haven’t heard anything back from Laam since my email a week ago. I know it’s the busy season, but Daylong usually reply within a day…….just doesn’t give me a warm feeling.

Do a search for motorcycle salvage business, and look for a damaged spyder. May find an affordable seat pan. You could just have it sent to Laam or Russell.
