Will a GTV seat fit a GTS?

Yes but many find it uncomfortable and it doesn't allow you to move around on the seat like the gts does. Riders tend to slip forward a bit. I tilted mine up with 1" nylon spaces and longer screws in the front. my wife hated riding pillion on it.

Interested
It would be a nice mod though.

Best Miguel Depends on the GTV seat, the one on the Sei Giorni is made for one person, so lots of room to move fore and aft.

Miguel Yes, it is sold by Vespa as the Sport Seat in the Accs catalog too.

I guess it depends on your butt, size and how you ride. I actually don't mind mine and it fits well. Definitely worth a try before doing it. It does have a dedicated pillion pad that seems to work well.
