"GS style" center rails... I couldn't resist!

I've always loved the way the Vespa GS had the center rails instead of the floor mat.

Vespa GS example


So I revived my old left over floor rails and end caps and ..... Gasp.. drilled holes in my scooter!! I drilled and tapped it ;) ie.. I created a threaded inner for a screw... wow this is sounding dirty...  So I ordered extra floor rubbers ( Im not even trying!! It just sounds wrong!) and I polished my old rails and end caps till they shined.  The old ones Vs. the new ones.. then new ones are bigger, but it actually works out good since I have less room to fit it all in the center area. On a GS there is actually a larger space in the center and less on the sides (or lower) sections. All in all it looks pretty good I think!

Here are the rails completed...
