Why did you change the seat?

I changed mine out to a P series seat. The stock Stella seat feels like you are riding on a brick made out of plastic.

I believe the P series seat works only on a 2t Stella.

The P seat only works on the 2T Stella because of the flat topped fuel tank. The 4T has a raised top fuel tank. Perhaps a Vespa Rally seat would work, as that model had a raised top tank as well.
At what point does a hobby become an addiction? I'm uncertain, but after the twelfth scooter, it sorta feels like the latter...

Seriously...I've lost count...

Seven mopeds ...that's still manageable...

I think you answered your own question. Plus, I didn't like the color or style.
This is the old seat, they took off the old cover and reupholstered it.

I love that tuck and rolled seat. .
But hate the suspension of it.
My p200 seat has springs under the upolstry.. (-1 sp).and it rides like a rolls..
But i really like the looks of your seat.
Good job

That was my main motivation. The stock seat is just thin foam on plastic. he put thick memory foam and now it's squishy soft.
