hello Neil !! - £78 for the cover !!! jeez that's a shocker, I've not received the parts as yet (and I need to check the part number) but I believe I've paid £30.60 + vat from Ducati.
I'll check the part numbers tomorrow and let you know.
cheers

Neil

£30.60.....Which Ducati Dealer? Take it that it wasn't the local yokels known as M&S in Newcastle......

just checked with the local yeeehaaaaahs and I've paid the following for rear seat parts:
seat cover 59510091A £61.06
pillion seat 59510071A £29.71
although the order has gone through, they are now saying that the seat cover is a discontinued part and that I may not be able to get hold of it !!
I've obviously got myself mixed up with the two part numbers - sorry mate.
cheers

Neil
