She looks glorious! She even looks freshly cleaned unless you ride only on butcher paper everywhere you go. How are you diggin' that top case? I think it complements the shape of the scoot very well and I prefer the looks of it to hard topcases.

i have to admit, that i wipe her down with a cloth and cleaner stuff (that lojical and corsair so warmly gave to me for my graduation present, thanks again you guys!) more often than i probably should. she's just so dang purdy that i can't have her hiding under mud.

Thanks, D!
as soon as i put the seat cover on her and i saw the one-two punch of zebra and minty green, immediately the b-52s came to mind, no se why. makes me wish i had a big red beehive and some shiny lycra leggings.

Looks great! I'm waiting for some fabric samples from Crystal so I can order a cover for my bud.

Your scoot is looking so great!!
Can I partially hijack your thread and ask if anyone has any suggestions for what fabric to tell Crystal to use to make a seat cover for an Italia?
I won one in Alix's raffle and have NO IDEA what to get! I don't think I want animal print... but maybe. I love the Italias that have swapped to the brown seats, so maybe something brown.
I'm terrible at picking things out like this... so all you who are great at it, help me out!!!

previous to falling in love with sighfoam green when i was still pining for an italia, i went to the fabric store and decided i wanted a brown microfiber seat cover. a nice, rich milk chocolate microfiber would look spectacular on an italia or a pamplona, imho. i wrote her and asked if she can use microfiber to make a seat cover, but i never found out. anyway, thats my dos pesos. or a brown argyle or corduroy would also be smashing. oh, the possibilities!

I'm waiting for the houndstooth fabric sample.... I think that would go really well with the Pamplona - also thinking of swapping out my topcase with the bag-style alsojmazza wrote:Your scoot is looking so great!!

Top Case
Love, love, love the way your scoot looks, the black contrast is striking!! I've been waiting on a pink Genuine Topcase for mine, they're on backorder, but now that I see yours with the canvas topcase...I do believe I'm going to tell them to take my name of the back order list and order this one. I really do like the retro look and I'm planing to change out my interior panels to black...so this will look so sweet! I'm wondering, can you get quite a bit in it, does your helmet fit? Also, do you think the matching saddle bags would be over kill? I figured while I was ordering, maybe I should order the whole kit and kaboodle.

thanks you guys! i love the sx canvas case. i think it looks swell, and it also carries a ton of stuff such as : a 12 pack of beer (er, or pop) AND chinese take-out for two, and even fits my full face helmet with a little bit of space left over.
i posted more pics of just the topcase here: viewtopic.php?t=3827&highlight=canvas+topcase
i like the retro-ness of the canvas topcase of that you guys have mentioned, plus i thought that if i got the matching genuine topcase ines wouldve ended up way too minty.
and i'd say to hold off on the saddlebags until you've decided you need the extra storage, they have a way of hiding buddy's natural beauty.
up next for ines: cowl protectors. blingy!
