Talking

I have a high seat, Ducatis own, there right about lowering the bars, but I did it for the comfort, my one is now ripped and I took it off to send it back, I went for one ride with the original seat and had to put the ripped one back on, how you put up with the original seat is beyond me.

Mood: Replacing 999...
I had one of Pro Twins seat's which I sold with an HCRactech GP unit. It is good for the track, it raises you about 11 or 12 mm and you do notice the difference.
I tended, as I say, to keep mine attached to the whole seat unit so I could switch it over in about 10 mins. For normal road use I normaly kept to the standard seat as I found the raised one put more pressure on the wrists.

Only my experiences ofcourse, it probably also is different depending on your hight and length of back. I am 6'1".

I rode KP's 999 with the higher Pro-Twins seat on & cannot see the point of it at all. What's wrong with the original seat/ seating position?

Here are some pics for the Pro Twins seat. I fitted it a couple of weeks ago and it does make a difference. The brakes are loads more responsive...
I like it!
