NEW SEATS FROM SIP

Most owners of vintage Vespa scooters such as the Sprint or GL models are particularly conscious of maintaining its completely original ‘factory’ look. The choice of seat plays an obvious role, but providing the appearance is identical, then aftermarket items are also fully acceptable. Regrettably the original seats have a major constructional disadvantage when compared with the modern alternatives. The wire springs beneath the minimally padded vinyl seat cover make themselves felt over longer distances. The daily urban commute or shopping trip usually presents no problems, providing the complete construction and assembly of the whole seat is 100% intact and functional. The inadequacies of the original seats are exposed mercilessly over longer trips though, with the rider needing a tough behind! They are also prone to damage and wear, with the cover slipping easily out of position. This is where even the morning ride to work becomes an issue, especially for your rear end. SIP’s modern seats are produced using a comfortable foam cushioning and ensure an easy ride, even over longer distances. This seat is held closed with a magnetic locking mechanism. SIP has taken care to make a very high-quality seat, which is outwardly indistinguishable from the original. The padding is made of modern foam and ensures riding comfort even on longer tours. The seat is held in position by a magnetic lock.
