Title: Ducati Performance 696 low touring seat (installed and pics)
Post by: 1313 on April 16, 2009, 02:01:54 PM
Good stuff!! I bought a brand new one off a member on the other board. I got for ~$40 less than retail shipped with no wait time. I had to jump on it. UPS delivered it today along with my new riding gloves. I quickly slapped it on and went on a 15 mile ride.
COMFY! My twig and berries aren't smashed up against the tank and the fabric used on the seat is pretty grippy. I love it. As far as the "low" aspect of the seat, it feels just like the stock seat height wise. MAYBE a teeny tiny bit lower. We're talking millimeters here...

Hey... Texas plate? Pearl White 696? Lower seat? Is that my ride? [thumbsup] ;D

I have the same seat and I too echoed 1313 Review + I've ridden 2-up with my s/o. I have an intercom with her during the ride. Her responses and reviews of the seat is positive.... It's cushy and she doesn't slide.

Where are you in The Lone Star State? I'm in Houston and RARELY see other 696s...unless at a gathering.

I'm in Austin. I've seen a few dark and a few red 696 but haven't seen another pearl white. Then again I don't mind being the only one around the area ;D
But I saw a pearl white m1100 in the night light yesterday *drool* -wipe-wipe-


White is the fastest color  [beer]
