Hi, I'm after a low seat for my TE449 and they're not avalable in Australia. Where can I get one? or do you have one to sell?

Hi everyone,
As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.
When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.
Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.
Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.
Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.
Thanks for your patience and support!

Do you have an upholstery shop you trust? I have a few guys that have wives that ride and at some point they all get around to custom seats. An upholstery shop that works with bike seats frequently will have access to some really good options to thin and narrow the seat (narrowing makes a HUGE difference) without any real downside on comfort. If they can narrow width as little as 1/2" inch, the vertical gain is really significant.
If you have access to some dense foam, a staple gun, and an electric turkey knife (maybe that's an American thing???) it is actually a fun project to do yourself.

Thanks guys. I really wanted to keep the original stock seat and purchase a lower.
The factory 35mm lower seat was also only about $135 from memory, so hopefully one
of those new or a used from someone would be ideal.
