This is a friends bike, I think this seat suits the S1 S2 lines perfectly, it's the perfect Ancillotti repro, nice and slim and with the bulge for the airscoop. I think I'll be putting one of these or the bolt down Ancillotti (full length with fuel hole) on my S1 too.

The seat above can be had from Scootopia or Jem Booth

Sorry should have read your post properly...about the viby Ancillottis. I used to have a GP seat on my S1 that was comfortable. I had the same problem as you...I'm 6' 2" and had to sit bolt upright on the scooter when I had the saddles on.

Thats a GREAT looking scooter!

I dont suppose you have a close up photo of the handlebars? where the switch housing fits?

I've been modifying an MB one to fit my s1 handlebars and so far it just looks ugly!

the series 1 switch is the size of my fuse board in my house, thats got a gp/sx switch housing. save to pictures on your pc then zoom in.

i agree it is a nice looking scooter and i love the seat the only thing them seats are crap at is being sat on for 4 hours though

I'm working at the guy's house in the next week or so. I can take a close up pic of the hydraulic mount, etc then. It'll be an MB one though I guess, as everything on this bike is MB...MB tuned TS, MB crank, Devtour, dual tanks, disk brake and so on.

Sean did a top job matching the paint for the helmet too...you can't see it from the pic, but it's like a Simpson or an 80's "scooterboy fave" Alien helmet. Looks proper smart matched to the bike.

I took one of these seats apart recently, to get the vinyl repaired, it's got psychadelic blue swirls same as D.Milnes Dyrospeed Devastator Snetterton pattern. Anyway the foam is now less than 1 inch deep on that...hardly any compression at all! But it's an old seat.

The light switch housing from a TV2 175 possibly fits the S1 bars, that has the sx/gp light switch, it's common to do it on S2 li's when swopping the kill switch for an ignition switch.
I saw all the invoices for that S1 and 99% of it was from MB, if I remember correctly the lid on the leggy toolbox has MB logos designed into it.

It does look like an MB switch housing... I bought one of the bay a couple of years ago with a motorbike style Nissin master cylinder.

I've ground a bit out of the back to get it to nearly fit, but the handlebar is so much thicker than the housing. I just want to see a picture of what they can fit like before I file down the handlebar itself!

Oh by the way Nick... I've ordered this from ScootRS http://scootrs.com/moreinfo.cfm?Product_ID=1790

I guess it will come in a couple of weeks. I was going to fit a Casa seat cover to it.

When it arrives come into London and check it out - then I can have a test ride on your TS1!

It's the older MB one. They were a bit more chunky to allow to filing down to fit the S1/2 headsets.

The new ones aren't so adaptable.

I must pester Mark to get a new series 1/2 one done.
