Yes, THIS one looks very stylish and matches the scooter.

I don't know if I would be happy with slippery and non-breathing vinyl, though. Since I have a lamb fur pad under my butt, I would not want to be any other way, no matter how much it disturbs the look. The miles I ride on my scooter, I need function, not form.

But again, your seat is real eye candy. Gorgeous!

Did you get extra padding on it? It looks very thick on the front and very comfortable!

the gel padding does make it real comfortable, but it's actually not as bulky as the original seat. the vinyl isn't to slippery so far and looks like a nice pebble grain leather up close.

Great looking seat!

Would you mind sharing how much that seat cost you?

Many thanks!

as for 2-up...sort of..if i sit forward a little from my usual choice, a slim passenger can fit. i wouldn't want to ride for 2 hours like this, but for a quick spin it's ok. i did keep the original seat, which can be swapped back with 2 screws..
i like to sit back to the bump and put my feet on the passenger pegs, and for me it's very comfortable.

Cool! Your seat has the same "hump" that mine does. Do the humpty-hump!

i think because all his work is custom, it wouldn't be fair for me to quote the price i paid. i can say that it is quality work and i'd do it again at that price. just shoot him an email and get a quote. thanks-tb
