That was what I was afraid of. But I'm not in any hurry, just wanted to review my options.

Good point. In fact the Corbin solo I have on the bike right now is originally from a 04/05 SEEG. And it fits the narrow tank console really well. Actually I think it looks better than the stock seat on any 2007 SERK I have seen. Those look almost too wide for the console, like in my picture above.

So my best bet, if I cannot find a genuine 2002 stingray seat in decent condition, is to take a 2003 seat and have the plain leather insert replaced with some stingray skin. It looks like the stitching on the sides are slightly different, but probably close enough.

My 2002 came With one in a box.  I’m open to offers, I’m not wanting to sell but I’m open to the right offer
