I prefer the looks without a topbox, but it is so damn useful. Anyway, it only takes 10 minutes to switch!
The scooter has a floormat, GT saddle and rack, eco-leather grips, aftermarket black mirrors, Audicator, burglar alarm and Polini variator.

Hello If you have only just added the floor mat take it off as soon as possible I have one on and it wrecks the floor. dirt gets under it and scratchers the paint off the floor.
Scoot looks really well  |

in the pics it looks like you've blanked off the grill at the back, the bit that the GTs seat covers but the GT seat doesn't.....
does that make sense

That's right, Maver. I managed to find a second-hand rack at a scooter repair shop, and did a bit of hacking and filling.

Haven't raced any other GTSs. No point. I know mine's fastest.
But thanks for all your comments.
I saw a vintage red GTS on a club ride early this year, and fell in love. Promptly phoned around the scooter shops and found one on the floor. Hence my beauty.
Only two things I would like to change - fit a PM exhaust and swap the instrument panel for a GTS300 one. Hate that digital readout, and can't read the clock when I am moving. Also prefer a speedo that goes across the top of the dial to one that goes up the side. But both these mods are a bit too expensive, especially with the current exchange rate!
Mike

Just love those black mirrors, I bet they'd look even better on a white Super 300!
Are they as good as the originals, and where d'yer gettum please?

Mine was registered as black in colour when i bought it but is in fact silver and never been anything other then, is this a common thing?? I was worried that the scooter had suspect history even though it didnt come up on a hpi check. |
