Mr. Good Deals yields his crown. 
A fellow VFR rider got the deal of a century! (The saddle bags go for $1K new)
"I was not going to say anything until I determined there was not a catch but I actually picked up a pair of new Panniers with the internal bags brackets and all for $50. Yes you read that right $50. I could not believe that I found that on Craigs List. The lady just never used them and wanted to clean out her Garage. They were so new they still had the paper on the back of them on the exhaust shield. I still can't believe my luck."

Me likie...
I'm in the middle of begging them to sell me only the front section of this 2-piece seat
I'm never taking a passenger, and I always ride with the cowl on
I like the idea of picking up a little storage area right on the bike
I could easily put a few of the "i don't care about items" in there like a hat and my wet wipes
As well as use it for my phone and wallet and garage door opener when I'm off on just a short little ride

Dear Sir,
Yes, we can offer the front seat only. You would want seat item WS-507F. The standard upholstery is the all black covering. Please advise if you were wanting any options added (color, heat, etc.).

Not bad for a custom seat which has got to be more comfy than the stock one...
---------
And they offered to send me the three vinyl fabric options, little swatches, so I can pick the exact material I want it made from
I think I'm going to skip the yellow piping trim, I would potentially do it if my bike were red, the red trim I suspect would be ok, but the yellow trim I just think is going to be a problem always keeping clean, all black seems to be a safer route to go.
As I recall this looks a lot like your seat material right Mark?
HEY CONE
