Hey all, there was an older post about the single saddle issues. I wanted to renew the discussion and ask for advice.

I just received a vintage saddle frame and replacement Aquila seat cover for my ‘64 VBB, but I did not receive the padding (I’ve seen on other saddles). Looks like horsehair I think.
Any advice on sourcing this pad or advice if I need it would be helpful.
Thanks

SIP has them which means you can get it without absurd shipping, from ScooterMercato

Easy there...I did see it on SIP. David at Mercato has reasonable shipping. I've been sourcing all my stuff from them.

I think he might be reversing them.. absurd shipping from SIP, normal shipping from Mercato? At least that's my experience!

David's flat rate is great and more than balances out over the long term. No matter the size or weight of an order it's still $9.99. His prices are nice, too...
I needed something he was out of and I had to add a small item to get to SIP's $25 minimum. The shipping was going to be $37.
I bought an SS seat and some cables from SIP last year and the shipping ( to NY) was just over $100.

Wow yeah a comma would have been a good idea on that statement.

Meant SIP’s shipping is absurd.
Mercato is the way to go.

You can also buy anything from SIP thru David (scootermercato) as he gets stuff daily from them.
