Cleaning the white Turbo I picked up the other day and noticed it looked different. Put it side by side with the Turbo on my DK, and it's quite noticeably shorter with a different shape. Both have 91 manufacturing dates on the bottom. I don't remember them making different shaped saddles. Women's? Knockoff? Anyone shed any light on it?

Definitely a lady saddle for those wide ol' child-bearing hips.

As well as the shape they also sometimes they had "L Turbo" on the side and somemtimes they had the words "Turbo" missing from the rear
