My 2005 GT 200 with it's new Cheeky Seat and back rest covers. It looks so much better than the stock black seat/back rest. Still have to work out some minor wrinkles, but overall fit and finish are outstanding. The Vespa logos rock!

I LOVE that color against the bike paint! They do such great work!

That looks really smart!

Cheeky Seats does great work and those minor wrinkles will work themselves out quickly, especially when parked in the sun.

I have the same seat cover on the same color bike. Nicely done! (And yes, the wrinkles will work themselves out. After a couple months, I re-set the cover and it has looked stellar ever since!)

So how does the backrest attach to your top box?
Adhesive? Velcro? Is it part of the seat cover?

The back rest is held to the trunk with 5 screws that are accessed inside the trunk. I had to remove the back rest from the trunk lid, fit the back rest cover and then reattach the back rest to the trunk using longer screws.

Well, obviously, it looks badass. More important, how does it feel?

Since it's not padded, it really feels no different than it did without the cover.

Same color my wife got last fall. Good to hear about the wrinkles. Hasn't been out/ridden much since it was installed, so that should get sorted too!

Looking great! 8)

Your Scoot Looks Super
It is amazing how adding a Cheeky Seat cover adds so much to the
look of your Vespa. I have shown my cheeky seat to much - but here I go again.
