I'm sorry but you must have dreamed it. The only way to make your seat fit is to have an upholstrey shop modify it and it wont be cheap. Here in the DFW area of Texas the best price I have found is about $400, and not worth the expense to me.

   I paid $460 for the upholsterer to fix my seat, he did not fix the down slope in the seat, and he used foam to soft, but the cover was good ,  so I cut the foam out where I sit and put in rebond foam,  I wish I could find a heavy duty sewing machine I would even try sewing my own seat cover,. famous last words ( it looked so easy)

Yesterday I rode over to my upholstery guy and talked about adjusting the seating on my scooter. He said to bring it over and he could do the work in one day for $150.00. I live in Concord, CA. He adjusted my seat on the Piaggio and it was perfect.
