I tried and tried 6 or 7 times to do this, but it always looked like crap to me. I ended up having it repainted by a professional. I’m very glad I did, because the ‘ol OCD was in high gear. I had it close at one point, but I always knew it was there. And it was killing me. If you aren’t as **** about your scoot as I am, you might be ok.

all my seats are 2 up. fender underneath gets scratched etc, no way around it that I know of.

Find a 2 up seat. In meantime, research a next move to make i look nicer when the seat is off the bike.

yeah baby. Spent about an hour and a half lining those things up and measuring and stuff. I think the right one is a ****** hair closer towards the seat than the left but they both appear to be straight.
