i will post more pics after i get the new part from above website

ok put it on today took all of 5 minutes

heres the results

theres 2 recesses in the seat for the handles

Very nice,so will there be any gap when new back is on or do you have to make any other changes?Let us know how you get on Craig because I would definitely like to do something simillar. Smile

there would be a gap but if i put a gts seat that would cover it up
was going to take other pictures but the camara on my phone was playing up

got the idea from here
http://www.modernvespa.com/forum/topic15525.html

and thought why not?

I'll need to keep an eye out for a cheap GTS seat Wink

.From pictures on MV it looks like it may still work with GT seat, just not look as good.D'you think???
Cheers Mark

so on a gt you get those little grab rails UNDER the seat rather than the big bumper car grab rail the gts has?????? (obviously the seats differ to accomodate)

interesting Cool

cheers m8

i'd like to do away with the grab rail on my GTs but will struggle to get it on the stand without it (too risky and i'd hate to drop the scoot Embarassed

)

swapping to a GT seat and the little grab rails may be the answer, nice smooth lines, hidden grab rails Cool

i may get the seat recovered and re-shaped to look like this:-

i fancy a slope back ancillotti seat for the GTs and doing this may be killing 2 birds with one stone Cool
