And about panels, you Americans are extremely lucky because I asked the other day in my Spanish Honda dealer for a panel that is about $4 in the States, and here is about $28... a 2015 seat is about $80 in the USA, and here about $200... we are ripped off!!!!!!

Yes, this is really odd with the price of body panels being so low here. Typically, prices for such things are much higher.

Re: Newb, hi there, glad to have found you guys
One thing I know for sure is that the price of parts for the 2015 model is much higher than for the 2013 and below, which are almost all interchangeable. I think that is because the 2015 model is completely different from past versions, and many of the third party parts houses have not started producing those replacement parts in quantity yet.
By the way, I too purchased my seat from powerbypcx.com, and I am very happy with it, but if I could have gotten them to custom make one for me I would have had them move the back support back 1 inch. Then I would have been really happy. As it is, I need to move around often because of my back problems (5 back surgeries...and aiming for number 6), and it would be nice if I had room to move.

Mel, I'm in the process of modifying my seat, so that it allows full movement without restrictions. I cannot fully explain the process in English, but I will show lots of pictures, so stay tuned!

By the way: The seat modification is complete, and I have full movement now. As soon as I have some minutes I'll upload some pics and comments

This woman has a 2015 seat I tried to buy to rip up and have reupholstered http://spacecoast.craigslist.org/mpo/4680554057.html
She claims it fits earlier models so I probably won't be getting it since she can find a buyer locally. Too bad, I was going to have a lot of fun in bright red while retaining the original seat in black on the side. I will keep scanning Craig's List nationally for PCX goodies, maybe get lucky.

Re: Newb, hi there, glad to have found you guys
Yes, here I am, and here you have the "new" seat:


Its shaped now so that I can move around often, if I need to. I have used the scooter today more than an hour and the difference is like night and day! I have added about 7cm (2.75in) and now it feels as if I had new shocks, as the foam absorbs incredibly well the potholes, etc
About the seat sold in CL, IT'S A BARGAIN!!! I'm almost sure that it will NOT fil older PCXs, as the shape of the hinge is absolutely different, so I'm confident that you would be able to purchase it from her

I'm going to create a new thread with more pics and I'll also talk about the new windshield
