I am very happy that they ended up working this out.

That's great news! If you're as OCD as me you'd ask them to make the seat black whilst they're at it...

I think the black is his only option for the bag, I was going to suggest mink oil to darken the bag, but the seat is also more reddish and even if it was darker it still wouldn't match. Black won't look quite as good as a perfect match would have, but will look a lot better than two widely different browns.

Holllly Chit,, I'm colored blind and I can still see they don't come close to matching....

Have you sent the makers a Photo of your bike with their parts on it.????

I'd try to work with them instead of airing you issue here,, unless they refuse to help you....
