Cafe Seats from eBay

[honline]

Anyone ever try ordering those universal eBay Chinese-made cafe seats? They seem pretty nice based on the photos, decently priced and the reviews seem good for the most part. Wondering if anyone on here has ordered them and what the experience and quality was with them, and how well they fit etc.

Nice pictures are one thing. Just don't want to pay and receive and seat with bad stitching and bad quality vinyl or seat pan etc. And be stuck with it and a hundred plus down the drain.

Any feedback helps. Thanks!

The reviews on eBay should also be taken with a grain of salt. The Chinese especially get the whole family to sign in (with multiple accounts) write positive reviews for them.
Basically, if it sounds too good to be true, it most likely is!

I always use PayPal for eBay purchases. If I get a POS, I use the Ebay & PayPal customer suppport to get my money refunded.
(Sometimes you can even keep the faulty item )

Yeah I know that in regards to reviews but when it comes to more than 3500 reviews and 99% being positive, hard to imagine they have That much time on their hands haha. But yeah still a bit skeptical.

But then again, it's still half to a third of the price of how much a local dude would charge me here. Got a ballpark quote or two and it's pretty steep. And that doesn't include subframe mod to fit the seat either.

I'm interested and have looked a little at these on eBay for a different project bike that I'm working on.

Could you link us to what you have in mind?

Hey Hupjai, mainly looking at this style for myself but there are plenty of other styles too.

Doesn't it look like a caterpillar Not the kind that comes from a factory in the Midwest, the kind that crawls and falls onto your head from trees.
I like the smooth look, but this is pretty common though

Cool.
