The implication I got from what you wrote/I read was that you were saying that the guy who does the labor on both seats is the same guy.(tobin's and Soupy's) I replied that it would only be possible IF Soupy is sending the seats to PA to be modded. You replied....yes he is.

or atleast that is how it reads for me.

Bring the scoots buddy.... by the time you get here, we should have some riding weather...

I've been watching those seats. The seller is a great guy. Bought many of little pieces from him.  I've contacted him about the seat to see if they are Tobins.  He replied and said they are not, BUT made by the same person as Tobins? I think it was New Image?  I have always understood from here that Tobin and his wife make their seats them self.

 The seats look realy good.

they are outsourced as far as I know.(tobin's)

Soupy, please chime in...you are in the thread. I actually am intrested.

yeah the info if the same shop does them would be nice...or I will have to call the buddy who knows the shop who is doing the seats(tobin's supposedly unless someone else is doing them now) and make an inquiry

you guys have now sparked my interest enough to become nosy.

Didn't mean to cause troubles, I just figured Tobin would have patented the seats as they are such a unique design... then to see the same thing for hundreds less than tobins pricing with out a core charge?? just seemed like undercutting the source

 

[suzuki4life]

you didn't stir any trouble. These places are about sharing info and hopefully truth. Soupy can make his own seats and I bet their quality is top notch!!! However, the statement has been made that they are made by the same person that makes Tobin seats...I just want a definite yes or no to that statement. Not taking away from anyone's product. I personally think their reputations speak for themselves...and both IMHO are excellent!!!

Help us out here Soupy...please.

It was always my understanding that Tobin cut the seats and skinned them, but he had a local source (not sure who) doing the art work. Now that's been a while ago and maybe he's doing it all in house now as demand has increased. I would think Tobin would have patented the design.

I was a 2 clicks away from actually buying a seat from him yesterday if he would have just chimed in..... That kinda dont sit with me well. As a sponsor, I think you should be there to always clarify anything in question of your product....

Yea he (Soupy) was on the thread long enough.. anyway he buys stock seats at $75 a pop off ebay for his inventory.

I spoke with Tobin on the phone some time ago and he told me they do the seats themselves and there is more than just chopping foam, they use a different density foam in sections (easy enough to confirm if you want to open one of his seats) Reason I spoke with him was that I did not want to sit any closer to the foot pegs. But I did want to get rid of the monkeybutt.. (comes from the foam pinching your tail as you settle in)

I ended up with a Corbin in the end as I was more concerned with "long haul" comfort

Well when I was talking to Tobin, at his house, in his driveway and we were discussing seats...he said he dropped them off, and barely has time to take all of the orders. Now I must say it has been quite some time since I have visited but you guys are really starting to spark my need to drive to York New Salem.

he didn't want to get in the middle of a pissin match...can't blame him.

 

[Aquaman]

Soupy, please chime in...you are in the thread. I actually am intrested.

This post is not what I consider a "pissing match" on my end Gary. I was serious. IMO, he blew a sale yesterday... I'm sick of my stock seat...

 

[Mr Bogus]

Yes I do my own/ No I have them done to my specs no pissing match at all.. lots of company's outsource for one reason or another.. (most often it is better for everyone)

why ya always gotta fight with me ya big bully?

 

[Aquaman]

First of all, what are you doing in "invisible mode"... second, I was intrested in anything he hadda say about the whole thread. hoping he could shed a little light on anything about his product! Seeing that he didn't, he just blew a sale in my book...Sorry, but that is the way it goes with me... The products I sell here, I willanswer any and all questions wether it be in open forum or a PM..

And no,I still like you as of today Gary!!!

 

[empty_pockets]
