i think moondogger's machine looks good with the brown seat but i note a goldish pinstripe between the black and white on the tank which i think helps bring it together with the brown seat very nicely. is that a true white or off white moondogger? looks off white in the pic and that would help bring it together too.

just my .02.

It's white, and yes there is a gold pinstripe between the white and black.

JohnyC,

If your scram had been olive-green then the seat would have been very appropriate. However, as it is not I definitely prefer the black seat.

Greetings,
Thor

keep the seat.. paint the tank and fenders olive, and powdercoat the wheels.

that would look GREAT.

Looks great Kid!!! I thought about this when my bike was G.G., but didn't want to be the guinea pig buying the brown seat. Would look great with G.G. painted side covers as well!
Check out CapoanJ's bike. He painted the side covers, and it looks great. Especially with this brown seat. Sweet...
