It was a beautiful day and there were a lot of folks out enjoying it. Plenty of motorcycles but I think I was the only scooter rider around.
While I was away, a package with this in it had arrived.......
I quickly (and easily) changed the seats and was ready to see if my bum would be happy with the new model. After about 50 or so miles and over an hour in the saddle, I will say the comfort level is at least as good as stock. The padding in the new seat is thinner and firmer. It cradles your backside and I feel like I can move back perhaps an inch more than with "the hump". What padding is there supports the "sit bones" and no pressure was felt on my tail bone.
This seat did not come with a gasket and the pan is shallower than stock resulting in some loss of storage volume. My helmet would almost fit, but no way with the new one.
The shape of the seat looks sharp, but looking back, the flatter version might be a better choice.
Here is another addition.....
It is a "MOLLE GEAR" pouch I found at a military supply store. It attaches to the handlebar with straps and snaps, has some elastic webbing inside. Eye glasses, camera, even a PPK will fit nicely and are easy to reach. The loops on the face invite anything with a hook or strap. I will be slipping a "sting stick" through them since the bees and others are coming out.
I hope to make a longer road trip soon to give the seat a better test.
Stay tuned.....

I'll be back to hear more as you continue testing 'er out. Oh, & I do like the matching red stitching 
). Definitely not under the new one. The pan is shaped differently and it does seem to sit slightly lower.
