Custom Leather Seat
I had a guy from the local chopper shop do a leather seat for me.
It turned out even cooler than I had hoped and I thought I'd share some shots.

CLASSY...
Instead of buying a new bag, you could maybe get the guy who did your seat to put matching leather just on the round sides and replace the straps... I don't think that would cost very much. Oh yeah, if you do decide to get rid of the bag, I'll be happy to take that off your hands. Was that like crazy expensive or what?

Thanks for the props everybody.
I'm so in love with the way this thing turned out.
I've got a message in to the craftsman to start brainstorming ways to alter the Prima bag.
These scooters are certainly an addiction, aren't they?
Any gas savings went right out the window as soon as I started down the accessories path.
I'm not bitter in the least, but it certainly does make me chuckle that part of my justification for buying in the first place was all the money I'd save.

How about this: I got a big insurance settlement from a scooter crash (obviously not my fault). They had already replaced the totaled Buddy, so I used a chunk of it to mod my Vespa. Figured I deserved it for pain and suffering, and for being unable to scoot for a few weeks due to injuries.Shane Wilson wrote:These scooters are certainly an addiction, aren't they?

And, yeah, if it's not accessories, it's the "other" or "next" scooter we all eventually start thinking about.

That is so true about the addiction to these scooters. I keep looking for more ways to personalize/customize it. The good thing is it doesn't really break the bank in comparison to a motorcycle or the higher priced Vespas.
I bought mine for commuting and some recreation without my wife really seeing what the buzz was about in riding. Now she is asking me what am I going to get to ride because she is trying to claim mine! I also got a few neighbors in on the action. Another Buddy 125 and a Kymco 250. The other Buddy owner and I are brainstorming on making parts.
Thanks Shane for the reply! That is craftsmanship! Well spent too.
