Post by: Waxintaxin on July 28, 2007, 12:19 AM: you have to assume that the makers were ariake and the model was the jaguar 2 , they then branded this model for various re sellers , so the same seat is branded by 2 diff sellers

kinda like tange frames
the same frame can be 2 diff bikes by diff re sellers

good bit of info and interesting that you could get a jaguar seat cheaper than a shogun , but its the same seat , so the first to suss gold lettering on seats could do well

They're not the same seats Rich ... the design, shape and hole pattern are quite different

I'll take pics of my seats together when I can :daumenhoch:
