That's a good looking seat on a good looking scooter. Much better than white piping IMO.

The orange looks great plus it will be easier to sell the seat with the white piping since its a generic color

Looks great, Buster! If the orange model was out when I bought mine, that's the colour I would have chosen for sure. That bike looks sweet with the piping - both on the seat and the exhaust!

Another vote for orange. And that case of Bud in the garage goes very nicely with the scoot.

Got to agree with you fleece about piaggio missing a trick with the piping colour on the orange GTS.
Znomit, i,v thought about smokeing the lense's but thought it might be just too much, i did it to my black GTS and TBH it did look nice.
Iam keeping the orange piped seat and selling the white piped one, i might even sell the solo seat depending on how much the Mrs comes rideing this summer, thanks for all your kind words folk, regards, buster.

Can someone clue me in on a "single" saddle for a 150? I remember the one that was an option on the original Vespa S, but it was different than the one pictured. I don't think I've seen quite one like that before.

Orange piping goes well with the boots in your avatar. Nice looking tire kickers there.

I know it's been mentioned before on the forum, but i'm having no luck finding it. Where did you get those mirrors? They look pretty awesome! What size thread are they?

the one for the GTS has gel pad in it, i don't think they do the same thing for the small frame Vespas

this is the S racing saddle which also fits the LX range
