Darmah Dual Seat - no whale tail

Hello,

Does anybody have a line on the upholstered part - or whole seat - to fit an 81' Darmah without the whale tail? The way the seat comes up over the tank, it takes more upholstery skill than I can find locally to duplicate it so that it looks right.

Thanks in advance

I think that Ian Gowanloch, or Road and Race in Australia may have one, or Andy at desmo - The bevel Side of Life . . . Königswelle und mehr.

+1 on Eldorado Seats. Tony did a 750 Sport seat for me and it was superb, as well as comfortable!

Thanks! Very helpful!

I can't believe I even missed Bevel Heaven on this one... Been working on my 860GT too long I guess. I may give Eldorado a chance here because the foam on my seat has already been 'modified' previously and to the detrement of styling.

BTW: very surprised to read how few of these bikes (non-whale tail seat Darmah) made it to the US?

My 750 Sport seat had always been a serious arse (butt, as you say in the New World) killer, but the Eldorado seat had new foam and was all-day comfortable, as well as being superbly covered, with stainless fittings too.
