Does any one know if there is an after market or seat from one of the bigger vog's or aeolus that will fit the 250B I have a bad back and could use a seat with a little more back support. also how about adjustable shocks to soften up the ride a little can any body point me in the right direction I would appreciate it and so would my back. I just got it put back together from the valve adjustment and the clutch work and took it for a test ride today I went 49 miles and never one stall out or carb problem it hit speeds I never got to before so keep fingers crossed or nock on wood that it keeps it up thats a lot of work for some one with a bad back! Like I said before keep on scootin and lovin it.

Corbin for a scooter seat similar to the Vog/Majesty is about $1,000.
You might want to try a few local custom shops to see what they would be able to do about re-upholstering the original seat.

I really like the seat on a CFMoto Jetmax as it has a King and Queen look with back support .
I think there is a sponsor in the ad banner here that sells backrests
Most shocks have adjustable damping with a spanner . I find most stock shocks to be have a wimpy spring and oil shocks do not ride as good as nitrogen shocks .
I forgot the name of the company , but my scooter dealer had custom made shocks based on his scooter , his weight and height for 300 which is higher than some standard ones but I have saw some NCY shocks that were that much so for custom made I think it was worth it

Not sure exactly what you mean by back support but I share the bad back problem with ya. Now I'm wearing a brace and on the seat is an AirHawk 2 which not only makes it super comfy so you can ride all day but it also has the effect of reducing any shock from traveling up your spine. Way back when when I had a Mitsubishi Montero, they had put a dang bus driver's shock under the driver's seat; it was the most comfortable ride I've every had, anywhere, for anything. Miss that truck. But I can testify that although the AirHawk won't kill your back pain (at least for moderate-to-severe arthritis which I have) it will nearly eliminate any impact taken from tailbone to skull, and keep you from getting hotspots and numb butt/legs.

Adjustable shocks beyound the regular preload shocks that are on the bike already come in both air ride and hydraulic but can be quite pricey going from $350 to over $1,000 a set.

I've got a seat for the 250B that's wider, softer, and more comfortable with a better back rest than the first model.
I bought it from Goldenvale for $150, and it bolts right on with 3 bolts. It's still in new condition so I'll let you have it for $100 if the shipping isn't too much.
