Hi everyone
Long-time Vespa owner but this is my first time here. Wondering if someone has a neat solution to the issue I'm having.
I bought this seat from Europe and installed it on my 2021 GTS300 SuperTech this week

Trouble is at the time I didn't realise my SuperTech has what's regarded as the "old" pet carrier design.
We have this, with wider "lips" on the side
But the Euro bikes have this, with narrower lips
The seat I bought is sticking against the wider sides of the pet carrier and won't close. I'm currently riding around without the bucket in but this isn't ideal. I'm thinking I should just cut the plast trim underneat the seat to fit
Any thoughts?
cheers!

Cut the bucket not the seat
seats are far more expensive to replace
Thanks John. My thinking behind cutting the seat was that if it didn't work I could get the foam and upholstery from the new seat transplanted on the base of the stock seat, and my bucket would still be intact. As it turns out cutting the seat has worked pretty well. It doesn't close quite as neatly as the stock seat but it's pretty good and once closed it sits well.
