Stella 4T seat w/rack & bars

Post by ericalm »

About time I got these pics up! This is how the seat was modified by the guys at Motorsport to fit the Piaggio bars and racks.

I've thinking the same thing, esp since mine will be that fine cream color too. Eric, you must have some fine shots of the new ride from all over the southland by now. It's ok to share. Really...

Yes please. You're the only person to actually have a 4t outside the EPA or Customs. Post some pics!

Coupel more questions

Post by headhunterfrank »

Can you be mroe specific with the modification needed to fit the Piagio back rack? Did you trim/cut the seat plastic body to let the bars pass through?

With this mod, can any Piagio bar fit a 4T Stella?

Yup, exactly.

Nope. Some have supports or crossbars that won't work with the 4T's elevated gas tank.
