Ordered mine from these guys www.kahedo.com last week, deliver on week 25 so I'll let you know in 2 weeks. They do the Dakar XCH's and looked bang on when I saw them at the NEC.

Cheers
Pete

hi,
..with Tomlen.

Raymond fixed my TT600R seat and it lasted all the way from alaska to terra del fuego, approx. 80.000km.

like the xchallange the tt600r has an enduro seat and raymond made it wider, at bit taller and quite firm. he did other xchallange seats as i recall.

good luck.
Sander.

Hello Kitto,
Perhaps your Yammy seat could be converted.
