GV Luxury Seat

It looks comfortable, that's for sure!

Whoa, Lar that looks really comfy. Will need to give that a try when we get together. Hows the Buddy?

Hi John! It's quite comfortable, but it still puts you too far forward on the bike. I only have a 30" inseam, and my knees are pressed right up against the front.  All and all, it's still much better than the stock seat.

I've put about about 90 miles on the Buddy, and other than a dead battery, she runs great. She's a very torquey bike. I just hope Kim likes it. She still doesn't know about it yet ;-)

Wow that seat is plush!

Will this fit any Grand Vista?  Mine is a 2006.

[ScooterLar]

Yes, it'll fit any year GV.

That is the strangest looking OEM seat I've ever seen!
Wonder why Kymco built one just for that bike?
I can see how it will shove you forward.

I don't understand why Kymco put so much padding in the backrest. If they would have cut out about 3-4" of foam in the backrest, it would be a much more comfortable ride.

I read that the average Thai male is 5' 7", Vietnamese 5' 4", Japanese 5' 7", Indian 5' 5", Indonesian 5' 2", Spaniard 5' 8", Malaysian 5' 5", Taiwanese 5' 7".
The Short White American males come in at 5' 10" ....while us normal & handsome American guys are generally 6' 3".  So of course us better looking guys are going to have trouble fitting an Asian scooter.
 
I just deal with it (by spending 3 days rebuilding my LIKE seat and buying a Burgman 400 that has 100mm of seat adjustment!)

I spent around $300 for that seat (including shipping), so the thought of taking it apart or having a pro take it apart to re-do it, just doesn't sit well with me (or my wife!). I guess I'm just gonna have to live with it. My other GV with the stock seat without the backrest, is more comfortable than this seat. Oh well....

I just found one last Captains Chair in storage!   Just posted to ebay.  I also have 4 stock Grand Vista seats.  If you want one you can call our shop Cleveland Moto 216-795-5580.  (Formerly Pride of Cleveland Scooters)
