This is my 1st Touring scooter and I must say, I greatly wish to change the seat. I haven't seen anyone ask anything like this, so I'm just curious if it is possible. My bike has the touring (2 seater), I would like to get one like the smaller 150's (more flat like) ![]()  this  to this Is that possible? |

I just got my seat changed. I unbolted the original seat and took it to the custom auto upholstery shop. They did a great job for me. I would look for a local shop which has done custom upholstery and motorcycle seats. Here is the picture of my new seat.  |

Why don't you like the seat? I thought mine was fine. I'm parting mine out if you need anything, lol

if you're good with tools this site may help: www.diymotorcycleseat.com/index.phpi've seen a scooter with modified seat. he shaved the hump so the could sit back farther to allow more leg room. think he said he was 6' 4" so it was a necessary modification for him. |

My reason is similar, I am over 6ft. The extra leg room would be great! I use to have another 150cc that had the standard seat and I would sit all the back (well, almost). So I was just looking to see if seats were interchangeable or what not.

i heard one person, on a chinese scooter, took his seat cover off, and used a sanding block and carved down a hump. tighten the cover back over. staple it back up.

Depending on how thick the padding is u may be able to reshape it enough . However finding a different type of seat to fit that exact model may be difficult . I bought new vinyl for mine and had my mother sew it together . Now I just have to stretch and staple it to the seat.
