They are in Thailand.
Their URL registration info is privacy locked but a quick scan through the site gives the game away...

I thought they were Thai based. I was looking at a seat from there a while back and the vat and duty basically nearly doubled the price.
The hump on my seat was waterlogged so I removed it and dried it out but you need a decent staple gun to refit it properly after.
Trying to find a uk based supplier is very hard, most seem to be abroad.

Haha nope sorry I thought they were local to the UK but my mistake. I can assure you I am based in the US and not associated with bikerbits otherwise I would have not bought my new AWESOME seat from Poweredbypcx
Sorry for the noise on the board was trying to be helpful.

We purchased our seat from Powerbypcx also. Before we did we checked with a local shop which affirmed that they could not do what those folks were doing to the seats because Powerbypcx has 2 different seat forms. The one we purchased, like tedscoot, eliminates the underseat storage for the helmet. We therefore ordered a tailbox when we ordered the seat. There is a hook on the left side at the base of the seat for helmets but that is not good if it rains a lot. As you can see from ours, getting a little Givi E300 works out well and is not oversized, so consider getting one of those if you don't want it to look too bulky.

That looks mighty fine Mel. I hope that seat is as comfy as it looks.
