Tobin - now New Image setas - Bigdog - 28-01-2010
I've been doing a bit of research on seats and being a shortarse, anything that can get me closer to the ground is all good in my books :)
Apparently Tobin are no longer but New Image are making these seats now. I've been told they lower you 1 1/5 inches in the seat.
Has anyone bought one from Lee at New Image? Can you buy one from someone in Australia?

Louwai and Stephen, thats the sort of seat I'm after. The yanks swear by them and as they lower me 1.5 " I reckon it's all good. How much did they cost you from Glen?

Big Kev from this site did my seats and did a fantastic job and a lot cheaper than going overseas for them. VCM Upholstery.

I decided to give Kev a go. I just got my K6 thou seat back from Big Kev and he did a really good job of it. Shaved, lowered and recovered. He's not a bad bloke either. Thanks Kev.
