Title: Solo seat questions Post by: hackers2r on January 29, 2010, 11:55:44 AM Besides the seat cowl, how much interest is there in a true solo seat for our monsters? Does anyone make one besides the discontinued DP part?
Title: Re: Solo seat questions Post by: yotogi on January 29, 2010, 12:35:27 PM I don't know of another option for solo seat besides the carbon fiber one:

Just to have something that looks very different? Shed weight? Keep those pesky ladies from being able to ride with ya? Title: Re: Solo seat questions Post by: jwoconnor on January 30, 2010, 06:45:29 AM I've got a bike for passengers so the Monster is all mine. I'd be interested in a solo seat. I'm also going to look at Stew's Al sub when he get the price all figured out.

That division doesn't look right to me. Something similar to the DP part yotogi posted but less than $1000, doesn't need to be carbon to be on my bike.

Did Stew create that??? How did he hide all the wires? I like that "clean" look.

Title: Re: Solo seat questions Post by: kopfjäger on January 31, 2010, 05:12:40 PM I've got one of those sitting on my shelf....trying to figure out what to do with it.... Sell it. ;) Title: Re: Solo seat questions Post by: NAKID on January 31, 2010, 05:17:19 PM I've got one of those sitting on my shelf....trying to figure out what to do with it.... You could always give it to me ;D Title: Re: Solo seat questions Post by: TAftonomos on January 31, 2010, 05:32:38 PM I might sell it, but I know I'd kick myself about 5 mins after I shipped it if I did.
Just like my CC rearsets... someone insisted that they would buy them, has told me they are sending money about 3 different times. I still hav'em, but I'm glad I do :D Only thing that bugs me about the solo seat is the tail-light doesn't match up for shit with it. That can be fixed, but I'll need to figure out which taillight has the same profile as the seat and go from there. Title: Re: Solo seat questions Post by: junior varsity on January 31, 2010, 05:40:21 PM Look in to a 1098 or 696
Title: Re: Solo seat questions Post by: junior varsity on January 31, 2010, 05:40:41 PM OR BETTER YET, the "FLEDA" system, for sport classics.
Title: Re: Solo seat questions Post by: kopfjäger on January 31, 2010, 05:40:56 PM It's too wide. Ruins the lines of the Monster.

I need to pick their brain a little bit.

I don't think the cushion looks like it belongs on a sport bike..

Any pics of it on a bike? *edit so yeah I get my question now. Found this second bike down has a decent looking cowl on it.* http://ducatimonsterclub.it/index.php?option=com_smf&Itemid=101&topic=1462.0 (http://ducatimonsterclub.it/index.php?option=com_smf&Itemid=101&topic=1462.0) |
