I quite like it, I like quirky.
I did a Far East Cruise a couple of years ago and 95% of the hordes of two wheelers I saw in Singapore, Thailand, Vietnam, and Hong Kong were the Honda Innova and it's various clones. They were used as goods carriers and the sole transport for sometimes whole families. I didn't any blinged up scooters anywhere on that trip.
Ive not got time to copy and paste lots of asian clubs that specialise in customs, so here's one as an example. https://www.facebook.com/ThaiCityTRH/
Im not a gynecologist, but I dont mind taking a look.
Just taking the seat Hump off is a start and really improves the scoot, so an altered seat is a good place to start at.
When I bought my SW the chap had the seat hump on the middle setting so very well foward, I put it back fully, then did the extra 3cmm further back by liftting it up on its bracket, then just took the hump off after a bit of good avice.
It really lets you lean back more etc and is far more comfortable I find for me. No more shoulder aching etc too as not hunched up if you will.
Hope it all goes well and be interested to see the odd picture as you go if you do go for it with the scoot.
I dont like customs either, when perfectly good bikes get taken apart and get 'pimped'. The honda c-90 are going for silly prices on e-bay because good standard examples are difficult to find due to customising. Mind you youth culture changes all the time, at least they're not fitting 9'' extended forks as in the 70's. I bet you had a chopper Meldrew???
