As the title says, i'm after the (2 piece) Long Haul Rider and Pillion seats.
Apparently there is no stock in Australia and I have been told it's a 6 week wait to get them.
(Pure Triumph) in the UK are asking 412 Pounds plus 200 pounds postage
Any advice on where I might get a better deal or is that the going rate

Also, I will be looking at getting Saddle Bags, Pillion Sissy Bar and a bag Rack.
I have acquired a fair bit of info of what's available from this forum, but any recommendations on the better places to spend my hard earned would be appreciated

I got my long haul seats from British Customs. They were here in a week from the U.S. just check they have them in stock when you order because I got caught whith my Hogslayer pipes and waited 6 weeks for them to arrive.

Thanks mate,
Yeah I tried BC, but they wanted $131 (US) for postage (two piece seat) and the Pillion seat was on backorder. Would have cost me $580 (AU) delivered and I still had to wait a few weeks.
I tried Pure Triumph UK, but they wanted 200 pds delivery 270 pds for the riders seat, 141 pds for the pillion seat. Well over 600 pounds all up. Not sure what converts to in Aussie dollars, but it's got to be getting close to a $1,000

I ended up ordering from Peter Stevens In Melbourne $460 delivered (free).
Same issue though, the pillion seat is on backorder. Should be here in a week or two now though.
I also ordered a couple of racks and the long haul pad for the backrest from PS.

I ordered the backrest from Martin Moto in the US.

I ordered the Saddle Bags and Easy Brackets from Fast Eddy.

I did a fair bit of research and obtain quotes from the Uk and US. Parts are definately cheaper OS, however a lot of places won't combine postage, or make a huge mark up on postage, so you need to shop around for the best deal and the best postage prices.
