Hi, You'll need to be a little more specific, do you want?

a) A genuine Mono (single) seat unit? In which case you'll also need a mono subframe (do some research as the subframes can crack). Starting around £250 on eBay for bodywork and subframe. You can cut up a biposta subframe, but that seems a bit of a faff to me.

b) A replacement Biposta (twin) seat unit to replace you're knackered one?
You can pick them up cheap on eBay

c) You want the mono look but not the expense? You can get Mono looking seat units which fir onto the Biposta subframe. Starting around £75 but more likely double that.

d) You can get a plastic replacement for the passenger seat pad to achieve the Mono look without much effort. Cost from £50 again more likely double that.

This looks the best cowl option but not cheap.
Offer Him £100 inc postage

I'm after a cheap (yes I said cheap lol) cowl to fit in replacment for my pillion seat...

I'd be interested in option c:/ any pointers for that would be great.

900MAN, tried the £100 but got no joy... so back to the drawing board..

Thanks for the heads up

[900MAN]

Seen cheaper units but don't seem to have the fittings etc
This looks a possible option

Thanks, these could do it. I will see if I can find anything a tad bit cheaper if not then it will be these..
Thanks as always

[900MAN]

Don't think there is cheaper to be fair, be interested in how you get on

[jangol]

Yeah, I guess your right.. in your opinion, if the paint jobs right, will it look decent in fibre glass....

[900MAN]

Can't see why not

[swannymere]

I'd wait for something to turn up on eBay or a Ducati forum, once you factor in painting that cover you'll be getting close to secondhand genuine Ducati products or someone selling the cover from Slovenia which IMHO is better than the genuine Ducati stuff.

[jangol]

Fair shout.. will continue to look around.

900MAN, order that rear unit you suggested today, will let you know how I get on...

Looking forward to getting it now
