Title: S2R 800 to 1000 Seat Compatability? Post by: Ashmon on November 20, 2008, 11:38:59 AM I am sorry to have to ask this, as searching has come up with no answer for me.
Would a 2006 S2R 800 Seat fit the 2005+ S2R 1000? I am doing a Monoposto conversion for a S2R1000 [evil] and I want to make sure I don't blow any more money than I need too. Thanks in advance.

THough the 620 and 695 seats have a lower saddle height How MUCH lower? Woulda 695 seat prevent me from constantly crushing my sack on my S2R800's tank? Title: Re: S2R 800 to 1000 Seat Compatability? Post by: jdubbs32584 on November 21, 2008, 11:57:43 AM How MUCH lower? Woulda 695 seat prevent me from constantly crushing my sack on my S2R800's tank? I have a Ducati shallow seat on my S2R 800. Its only 20 mm lower. I'm a girl so I don't have the sack problem. Have you tried gripping the tank with your knees and sitting further back? ETA: According to Ducati.com, the S2R seat height is 31.5 and the 695 is 30.3. I'm not sure that theres a difference in the angle of the seat though...I went from a 695 to an 800 and it didn't seem that way to me. Title: Re: S2R 800 to 1000 Seat Compatability? Post by: Slide Panda on November 21, 2008, 12:18:40 PM The seat might be a little more dished... but that might make for more crushing... But perhaps your nut fix is not in the seat? I've had a 620 (stock seat) and 900 (sgt seat), do have nuts and don't have crushing issues, even when I've gone hard on the brakes.
Perhaps: you're sitting too far forward in the 1st place Not enough weight in the pegs to keep you from sliding forward Not using your legs/inner thigh to grip the tank sufficiently Title: Re: S2R 800 to 1000 Seat Compatability? Post by: corey on November 21, 2008, 12:44:41 PM I do my best to sit far back, it requires real effort to keep myself back there.
i've installed suburban machinery bars which have created quite the forward lean (makes for a nice steady front end, and a real sporty ride), but i just cant seem to help myself sliding forward, especially under hard braking. maybe i need to get some rearsets or something to get my feet a little more forward. i love the look of the sargent seat, but the damn thing looks so friggin high, that i can't bring myself to think it would fit the style of riding i wish to accomplish... maybe ill do some research on rearsets...

If so, I believe I've seen grippy stuff that you can put on those areas of the tank that fixes that issue. Title: Re: S2R 800 to 1000 Seat Compatability?

Work them abs boy! Look up 'Stomp Grips' - commonly used on race bikes to provide more leg to tank traction. I don't think rearsets is really the answer you seek |
