after market seat constructors in Europe?

Hallo all,
In the States there are a lot of possibilities to improve the seat of Your bike, Russel, Corbin, The mayer brothers and more but I cant find anything similar in Europe.
I would love to know if such companies exist and if anyone can recomend someone?
I was looking to change the original seat of a wee strom for something similar to a Russel "day long" ?
Thanks,
Dan

The only one I know of: KAHEDO

I have read lots of good things about them, but have never used them personally. They make the tankbags that Touratech and another German co. sell, but you can't buy these off them.

Problem is they are in Germany and you probably want to try the seat before they cover it.

Hi,
if you live near Germany there is this:
Jungbluth Sitzbänke - Alles für'n Arsch

I heard good feedbacks and I am going to let them change my seat.

Cheers
Micael

Thumbs up sitzbank-schmiede

Die Sitzbank-Schmiede bieten Anpassungen von Motorrad-Sitzbänken Heard good reports about them but I have not used them

Located in Darmstadt near Frankfurt.
