On a Bip 999 you can get a seat coverter like the pics in the Ducati red. Ducati price £149.99. I had one once, but it went for a trip down the road at about 110 mph (blow off the back of the bike
) Ducati gave me my money back after they found out that the screws had no thread lock on them. They look good and you still get the best of both worlds.
