So before this turns into "pointless but addictive song title " thread :lol:

Heres my next conundrum .... the seat ?

Ive got three options, a Snetterton, a Guilari (cut) slope back or an LD saddle :?

I was going to cut the "slope back" and change it to a Snetterton at back but its an original one, so changed my mind

I dont really want to use the slope back as it is as everyone has them .

So ive got an idea with the saddle to make it slide, to change the riding position, like a car seat, as i like to move around to give my neck/back a rest.

Slopeback looks sexiest (IMHO), but also most uncomfortable. :biggrin:
Saddle just looks weird.

The middle one by a country mile. Impartial opinion as I have Vespas. If you are going to use the saddle why not make one like the slope back and have that slide forwards and backwards, obviously smaller in size. I agree the saddle just looks wrong. In my opinion the end can should be black as well.

I like the Snett G :) is that one of the recent remade ones ? or original ?

Yes i agree the slope back looks the best, but i want something a bit different :)

I think the the saddle looks kinda cool 8-) so well see :D
