I own a 02' monster 750 ie dark, and I cant stand the super ugly 2 person seat, and it has a rip in it too! Everytime I search for ducati parts I never know what fits and what does not. Everything seems to be "check with your dealer before purchasing" which is a huge pain. Where can I get a nice 2 OR 1 person seat? I was even thinking of hacking it in half and trying to re-wrap it myself. Please send me links to stuff that will fit!!! It looks like this, FUGLY!  |

I like my HT Moto cover. Affordable and high customizable.
I really like the seemingly rare solo seat too. If I could find one that wasn't so expensive, I'd get one.

A used Sargent may be the way to go. The quality is awesome, and it looks killer with the italian flag sewn on the right side. It also has a tube on the bottom to hold documents, sunglasses etc..

I bought an aftermarket seat cowl off eBay in January for $80. Good quality fiberglass/gel coat, made in Czeck republic. Bought the mounting tabs from Monsterparts. Didnt fit as well as OEM, but it looks the part. I think the seller was Moto Italia?  |

You can find auto upholstery shop to recover it. While the cover is off, you can get them to cut the foam so the seat is one continuous flat seat. Then they stitch along the edge. Looks pretty good and is usually $50~80.

Just to bring this back up & help a little. Ht Moto makes pretty nice stuff, I had them make a custom seat cover for my Ruckus that I love, they also make covers & gel inserts for the last gen Duc's. They'll make current gen, or custom stuff if you send in your seat to build the template from. Might be worth checking out, they have good prices too. As a side note, I have zero affiliation with them, just trying to help some if I can  http://hydroturf.com/products/Seat_Covers_-_Sport_Bike/Ducati |

interesting .... any other FHE?
I'd love to get a seat built up, that had a little width ala the 848 / 1098.
I've got a spare OEM seat / tray.

I will be offering a solo seat soon. Check my thread for preliminary pics. Shouldn't be too far down the page.
