Like 200i Seat

  Yes, the reviews are spot on. For those of us who are 5' 10" or taller, the seat is a very poor design. I'm going to take mine to a MC seat specialist and see if they can eliminate the sharp point in the middle and make it totally flat which I know will be expensive but before I do so, have any of you come up with a simpler fix? BTW, other than the seat, the Like 200i is a very nice bike. I'm into my 2nd week of ownership and really enjoying it.

I took the seat across the waters of Puget Sound to Rich's Custom Motorcycle Seats in Kingston, WA. They carved off that sharp point in the middle, made the seat perfectly flat and were able to reuse the cover. 1.5 hours of shop labor came to $125 + sales tax. The scooter is now a VERY comfortable ride.

I posted  a four part harmony. ..with glossy 5 x 7 black and white photos ....of a Like200iLX seat rebuild/massacre here some months ago.
Looks a bit goofy....took many hours...but makes riding my LIKE200i a whole new and enjoyable experience.
Fix the seat and you'll never look back.
