New: Honda GTS/Super cool-dry mesh seat cover XXL $18.99

scootRS — Sat, 21 Apr 2012 06:38:19 +0700

We've added a new item:

Honda GTS/Super cool-dry mesh seat cover XXL
$18.99 (£12.11 | 15,14€ | CA$19.46 | AU$19.28 | ¥1,508)

Stay cool in the sun, dry in the rain!

Sun: no more burning hot seat. You are suspended above that and air blows through underneath to keep you cool.
Rain: no more wet seat. You are suspended above that and water goes below the surface, not on your pants.

This cover slips over top of a Vespa GTS sized seat - Honda SH or anything else similarly sized too of course - and makes a huge difference.

(There are more photos of this item on our site.)

Seat colors in vinyl or leather.

Quality SH seat cover sewn the same as the original. Fits Honda SH 150 types using the original seat shown.

Choose regular or leather!

Simply place the new cover over your original one and the elastic edge, and any seat cover brackets, are enough to hold it in place and make it look great. Or to get a nicer, tighter fit, remove your original cover and staple this one on in the same manner. You can always change back.

Tubeless rims and the 2012 Mille Miglia Scooter Challenge

scootRS — Wed, 16 May 2012 05:55:53 +0700

We recently sponsored the 2012 Mille Miglia Scooter Challenge in New Zealand with our tubeless rims and some other prizes.

Here's a photo of one of the prize winners. For more photos, see their FB page above.

Our tubeless rims for Vespa and Lambretta are a perfect match for this cross-country event: the only tubeless rim with classic 1960s looks but modern safety to avoid tube blowouts. Our v.3 has been out for 5 years now with not a single failed rim in all that time, an amazing record.

If you're not tubeless yet, what are you waiting for?

Update on our Snowflake Vietnam Charity Fund

scootRS — Tue, 15 May 2012 18:14:02 +0700

Just a quick update on our Snowflake Vietnam Charity Fund: our current total is now $5720! ($1195 from customers, $4525 from ScootRS.)

If you can, throw in $2 or $5 on the way to checkout. It would be great if our customers could match our donation!

100% of your donation goes directly to local Vietnam charity. No overseas overhead and we even donate the c.c. fees for everyone, as well as donate ourselves for every order.

Thanks again!

Hey, Joe, where you going with that gun in your hand?

We're closed until Wednesday for holidays here in Vietnam, something about crushing Yankee imperialism.

Read some of our old posts about this holiday:

2001: Vietnam notebook
2004: 1975: Saigon Surrenders
2010: 35 years ago (great photos of the last chopper out and a link to a MUST READ record of an American reporter's last 10 days)

What was your best deal on scooter parts?

scootRS — Fri, 27 Apr 2012 07:14:21 +0700

Tell us your best story of how much you saved on scooter parts!

For example, others ask $20-25 for the EXACT same high quality Lambretta drive side oil seal plate in steel we sell for $9.79! Add up the savings over 10-20 parts from us for your Vespa or Lambretta scooter and you have enough savings at the end for a new disc brake kit or tubeless rims or... :-)

We've had some great emails in the past where people bought many items from ScootRS for a resto and saved a lot on the same quality parts - often HIGHER! - than they'd get from Europe.

What was your best deal on scooter parts?

As someone replied on our Facebook page:

Just got a huge box of parts from you guys for me and my fellow club members and im too lazy to do the math....I'm guessing about $3000 in savings!

Yes, $3000 at a minimum!

The Defilers S.C. thanks you.

Wow, that is awesome! Huge savings. Hope the savings were spent on something worthwhile, like beer :-) There are so many fake stories and rumors posted on the internet, it's great to hear directly from real US customers that we're helping out so many American scooterists.

(Speaking of great deals, see a new falling price Countdown deal every day on our sale page.)
