you can still buy the same seat, it just does not say db on it, it has other writing on it   ;)

Kashimax Five gold saddles in black suede come up nos every now 'n' then on eBay. Usually sell for well over a hundred pounds tho.  :daumenhoch:
They are real suede too. And do look dark grey if the suede is brushed whichever way that catches the light right. Especially once they've worn in a bit   ;)    G.

Suede Kashis on Turbos were Black. They grey with age. You can restore them with Dylon suede dye and then finish the knap with a small brass suede brush :)  Or you can send it to me and i will do it for you   ;)
