Seat units ? What are you using ? I'm fitting a 748/916 tank to mine over winter and it takes the seat height up considerably to match the line of the tank. I currently have an R6 tail unit fitted which aint going to be adaptable to the new tank height. (I know this because I hacked and ground it to bits yesterday, but ended up with just a lot of dust and scrap plastic !) So what do you use and how well do they fit ? I know Phil D has a fireblade seat unit and Ghost a ZX10, whilst DW appears to have the ZX6 ? I'm wanting to keep the enclosed look of the R6, so any suggestions please and any to avoid ? I appreciate I will be fabbing brackets to take it up a good 2 inches from the rear subframe, but want to know if I can still keep the enclosed look etc ? I don't mind splashing out, but want to know what to buy before I do it, if anyone's done similar. Cheeeeeeers. |
I'm going with this for next year as is Dallas and he's popping around later in the week to pickup my spare 620 Monster to convert that, only problem is I have lent Kev Palmer my spare ZX10R seat unit so he can try it on his SS for next year http://www.ducatisportingclub.com/at...1&d=1372005727 |
Mark what frame is your bike, an SS? I'm trying to replace my seat unit with an enclosed one too. Matt larett's got a Cbr 600 tail fairing that I think looks good. Skids what is that seat unit in the picture and I take it the bikes an SS too? Also it looks like its fixed from under the seat foam which I take it means the foam needs to be removed each time you need to take the seat unit off or I suppose you could have a couple of access holes in the foam. Either way are there any good places to get them from other than the obvious eBay? |
Mines a Monster frame, which seems to rise higher than the SS. Is that a ZX10 unit Kev and is that a Monster frame or SS ? I might have sourced a Fireblade unit, so hoping it will go on easily enough. |
Andy Bloomfield has a blade seat unit on his monster |

Jim as with Mark's frame my 2014 bike uses a Monster frame an the seat unit is a ZX10R hence why I have a Spare ZX10R seat, the seat foam will be cored to allow access to the bolts which is pretty standard practice. My pair came off ebay as some guy racing a ZX10R produced several from a mold he made and by collecting in person I got a deal on his final two Mine will have a stick on foam pad where Dallas has gone up market and got the seat unit with the pad that attaches with Dzus fasteners and are available on Ebay for around £150 |
By next weekend this one http://www.ducatisportingclub.com/at...7&d=1379617071 May well be sporting a 916 tank and ZX10R seat, along with having a couple of fairing mounts welded to the headstock |
