I wish someone made a good selection of seats for Lambretta's and Vespa that are reasonably priced and as good as the orginals that were made back in the day. We seem to be over run with Indian and Vietnamese seats and the better ones just don't seem as good and are so unaffordable.

Alot of people think £60 is enough to spend on a seat and for that you get some rock solid far easten made seat that cost $10 to make its ok if you want that sort of thing and you see armloads of them at parts to get a uk or european made one will cost £120 plus, people I know say f@@k that its only a seat as they spark up from there £9 a pack cancer sticks pays your money takes your choice

Most of the standard style Viet seats I've sold have had original Italian frames such as Giuliari fitted. I've often thought that I could get more on fleabay for the frames than the £58 I sell the complete seat for.

Indian loaf of bread seat fitted on my GP.

Must be one of the ugliest seats ever [apart from Fastback style] but without doubt the comfiest seat I've ever had.

Noooooo, I haven't got S/S panels, merely trying one to see what the fit was like. It was a better fit than my GP panel. Customer had them sprayed but left the centre section as is and they looked great. He wanted chrome but couldn't find a set straight enough to chrome plus the S/S set were far cheaper than the cost of chroming a set.

PS don't ask about the spare tyre, it's top secret. :o

If they've got Italian frames why do they have all the aesthetic appeal of a concrete breeze block? :D
