I found the mirror stems on my stock LIKE200i to be far too short.
I could see nothing of value in them!
1st order of business was to source some long-stem mirrors from an Italian on ebay.
Finding adapters was a bit of a puzzle....
Nothing for it - they are goofy looking!

But, man do they work - giving me a great look behind!

FYI - stock Vespa/Piaggio mirror and the shorter LIKE mirror.

Next up on the LIKE - if I ever wanted to ride beyond 20 mins - was rebuilding that stock seat!
Pretty enough....but with a horrible ridge in the center of the seat-pan. (under the gloves)

The 3-day rebuild.....from a distance , not too bad.
But comfy as heck!
I added inches of correct density seating foam (internet) and re-covered it all with SailRite 4-way stretch vinyl
I now sit directly over that rige.....and cannot feel it. A lot of trial sitting to get this.
(Bestem 929 case added for its active LEDs - my every ride starts in the dark!)

Were you required to modify anything on your Kymco - for comfort or safety?

my only People S200 mods were for visibility to others...I upgraded to much brighter led bulbs in the turn signals / indicators / winkers...made the non functioning international front turn signals functional again (by purchasing a working pair form Ebay UK) as running lights and added reflective rim tape to my wheels along with some additional red reflective tape to the rear. Funny thing is I never ride at night! But if I did...
