Posted: Fri Mar 07, 2008 4:41 pm Post subject: my gt makeover*UPDATE* |
|
|
so ive decided to do something with my gt, recently bought a front carrier as you can see and i have taken my old rear carrier/backrest off ready for this to be put on
http://vespaspares.co.uk/spares/partImage.asp?GPN=621141
so i'll be losing the silver top box suport and have a scooter which looks a a lot better from behind
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 _________________ POGUE MAHONE SC

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

I'll need to keep an eye out for a cheap GTS seat .From pictures on MV it looks like it may still work with GT seat, just not look as good.D'you think???

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 _________________

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