Emails are cheap.  Why not send one and ask the guy about cost?

Maybe he means no longer available from the factory??

I'm not affiliated with the seller either.  I'm just saying...

I was hoping he had a CB 750 Ko, but no luck.

They are remaking all those seats in Vietnam...an ebay search will turn up lots of them for <$200 plus $75 shipping.
I'm actually thinking about one of them for my rebuild.

Those ebay ones made in Vietnam are no where close to an original giuliari or even the reproductions by classic cycle city (a member on here).  The dimensions are way off.  A buddy of mine bought one a while back hated it and sold it locally.

My advice if you want that look is save your money and get the one from ccc (or this guy in Canada).

I have one of the CCC replicas and it is comfy as all heck and it fits like a dream... The asian ones leave a little to be desired in my book. But I too would love an original one to go with my other vintage bits.

I've bought from CCC (nippon on this forum) and loved it. Had to sell it because my bike theme changed and the logo was in gold. As soon as he returns from holidays, I'll be hitting him up for another. CCC craftsmanship is second to none and priced reasonably.

I can verify the prices I got the same email. Reasonable if the seats are super minty.
