Hi, Anyone interested in a X-challenge seat? Tried to have it re-upholstered and the guys did a kak job but the base plate is still fine. Useful for a garage project if you want to try build your own seat. If you are interested make an offer.

Here is a link to a thread on ADVrider. A guy is making a very custom Dakar, very interesting. Click here!

Heard about this guy on the ADV rider forum. Everyone who has got stuff from him rates it as very high quality. His website is: https://www.scheffelmeier-metall.de/ It is in German but the translator in the Google chrome web browser helps a lot! His export prices are slightly lower than those...
