I found a rather nice Corbin seat in the UK at a very good price, and the seller is willing to ship it as long as we can work out the logistics. With my luck though, a UK seat will end up being different than a US seat. Are they?

They are the same and will fit all years....
The glass is not half full, it was engineered with a 2X safety factor.

It turned out to be a Bagster brand seat, so I'm not going to buy it. I'm waiting for some color swatches to arrive from Corbin and will buy a Gunfighter directly from them.

Please note that is not my finger and that is not my foot  :wacko2:
