Some more Black & White..

Just in! New handcrafted black and white seats




Saddle and Pillion seat, made to order direct from England. The fine folks at BeedSpeed Intl. shipped these out in just a few days after having them completed.(total time was about 6 weeks altogether). I think it really adds quite a bit to my bike. I've wanted these two tone seats for a long time. I couldn't find anyone who sold them, at least not in the color scheme that I wanted. Until Beedspeed, you can custom order a variety of colors, or all one solid color if you like. Pretty good price too for the pair. They're made really well, and the saddle seat came with the whole seat mount, spring, etc,all primed and painted silver. There is a chrome passenger grap bar attached, and the base of the pillion seat is sheet metal, very sturdy. Nice Quality.





Chrome grab rail. Nice quality. These are intentionally vinyl,
and not leather. Perfect for me, being a vegan, this shite matters...


Note the clips that attach the seat frame
there nice heavy steel. My previous exp. was
these bending and pulling off and the
seat coming detached.

However.. as always there was a few short comings.. albeit minor, still should be mentioned.
The passenger seat, has threaded posts (at the base), the standard way that you attach to metal brackets against the metal seat base platform.  Well, the post on my new seat were really short and barely long enough to go through the bracket.. I was able to make it work but just barely, I don't like having to fix, or modify brand new stuff, thats supposedly "designed" for my specific scooter. Also the front saddle seat sits quite a bit higher, this is something I have to get used to i suppose, I'll give an update later, after I ride with it some more.




Catching up on DJ Warren Peace, "We are the Mods"
radio show. Check it out! Entertaining and satisfies my
need to hear mod related gossip and some good mod
related music.
