After much dileberation... I didn't get Scheelmans. I have tried three different Corbeau seats, but they are just not that comfortable for touring.
I ended up getting some refurbed Recaro LXCs from Rolla in Malaysia. LXC has adjustable thighs and bolsters. So basically, it's the same seat as a Scheelman but at a fraction of the cost. He was recommended by someone who had gotten seats from him, so he seemed trustworthy. I was able to pay via PayPal / CC for protection. It only takes about a week to ship. I'll update when they come in.

I just cant get over the price, ive sat in them and they are comfortable but 5k for 2 seats is a hard pill to swallow. So I think this route is as close as you can get but for 30% of the cost of scheelmans.

I'll definitely be interested in your experience. what are you doing for mounts? custom fab or?

But yes, that's rough for price. I've honestly thought about the Corbeau's but I'm glad i read your part about not comfortable for touring... as that's what I'll be doing most of the time with mine... so long distance comfort is super important.
