scooteerworks has posted a seat mount and seat for the Buddy call 70's style seat. it is $69 and the mount $30. This is the only place I have seen it. It is fairly square in shape from what I can tell.

Is this what you're talking about? http://www.scooterworks.com/images/Prod ... td/bs2.jpg

I think they're referring to PASSENGER seats when they say "buddy seats." These are passenger seats for 1970's Vespas.

I may be wrong but those are the only "buddy" seats I can see on the Scooterworks website. It's confusing when they're also advertising the Buddy.

Cleavland Scoots is the only place that claims to still have the black scoot racks. I'm going to be making one out of some sturdy plumbing pipe and then find some spray paint to match my cream buddy

There are a number of roll-type rear cases like that on the market. That one may be the Prima (which I think is in some way related to Genuine or Scooterworks). Here's the black version:

There are a number of these tail/rear rack type bags made for MCs, too.

Yeehaw!! That's MY Bud!! I didn't know that Phil posted the pic on his site!!

By the way, a BIG thanks to Phil of POC... he took care of everything for me, and the price was very reasonable!

Yeah, ericalm is right, that is a Prima bag. I got some dog collars that match the color of the bag to replace the plastic cords which held it in place. (a great idea from Phil, by the way)

It looks great, and I like that case too, how much stuff can you fit in there?

How about posting some more pics now that the transmogrification is complete, along with a description of what was done.

Thank you, lobsterman! I'll can take photos and post them as soon as the weather improves over here. The case actually is very roomy... I can fit two of my full-face helmets in there, granted my helmet is kiddie size.

The paint job cost me $300, which is $100 less than what I thought it was going to be... I guess Phil wasn't kidding when he said he can get the paint job under $400.

I'll post some pics and give you a breakdown of how much schtuff cost me.

And forgive the poor nubcake... I don't know how to quote people so it reads: "_______ wrote:"

And angieyou3, you have to share with us how your Bud got customized!

Hey Lotte. Thanks so much for sharing the info! That is definitely a very reasonable price. I will definitely share photos of my custom bud as soon as I can get the into from Phil. I was thinking of going w/ Ohio state colors and then adding some pinstripes and logos. I'm a huge fan. Any thoughts? Your bud looks sooo sweet!
