How much is a 749/999 mono tail??
 

I don't mean the whole tail section (sub frame) just the "plastic".
How much is an original Duc tail section?

Thats an easy one to answer. I have the invoice for my order, and I have ordered the "S" mono tail unit to get the white number boards. The price is £255.32 + VAT...or at least that is what Pro Twins are charging me. If it helps, the part number is 48310471AA...

Sounds about right for the rear part... The front part of the seat unit is around £350 :D

:puzzled::puzzled: Not to sure why you just need the rear part.

The rear mono cowl will not fit on a bip front section. :cool:

I am waiting for a mono seat unit off a 749S to arrive, to go with the rest of the body kit I have. I was going to try and sell the lot complete but may split up if nobody is interested in buying the complete Kit.

Kev....why not try fitting it on the 996 !!! Get with the times :lol::lol::lol:

Thanks for the info :)

:o So the tail has two parts?
And if i want to turn a biposto into a monoposto i need those two parts and not only the tails unit Gareth is talking about?

Dave I have a full 749 dark bodykit for future project, only picked up the 749S kit to rob it of the complete headlight unit that came with it.
On the Dark kit I can easily remove the graphics and fit my own yellow ones and probably have them saying 999 Hybrid, to go along with my 998 Hybrid.

To convert to mono you`ll need more than just the plastic bit,the Dodgy Greek done his with genuine Duc bits off ebay and the cost was nearly half a grand:o

You`ll need the two parts of the plastic seat,subframe,bum pad and a few odd fastners.
Ducati do a MotoGP style converter to single seat which requires no subframe change,not sure of the cost thou.

Why bother with that....., when you can buy a ducati corse FO4 - actual un-painted version from Sandbar Ltd - around £350 ish ?? Looks the nuts , when you finally suss out how to fit it.:eureka::eureka:

There are 2 parts of the seat unit.... The front and the back... for mono and bips....These units are not interchangeable between the two....So if you have a bip and your want a mono seat unit then you need a new subframe and seat unit :cool:

Wow, WTF!! :o
Now i'm ****ed :mad:
So even the subframe and bum pad are different???
I thought you had to change the subframe (and ges some passanges pegs) if you wanted to do the mono to biposto conversion, but not the other way around:puzzled:

When the greek done his they weren`t avaliable,if you add a quality spray job to the unpainted unit from Nigel(sandbar ltd,good stuff is that)you`re getting near the same money,it just depends which style you like:saint:

Ok that had already answered my question, thanks.

Wow, i'm ****ed :mad::mad:

And the bad bit is £500 + VAT for the mono subframe.

Don`t give up hope,the Moto GP unit Ducati do is painted and fits straight on to your subframe,I think it`s around £300.You think the 749`s bad,you should try changing the seat on a 888:o

Going from bad to worst....

But why doesn't it fit? Just so Ducati can sell the whole set, huh?

And are there some nice mono aftermarket plastics that do fit the biposto configuration?

Yeah, but it's a Moto GP style, right?
Different from the 999's ones.

Thanks :)
But it looks different from the original one.

Again, thank you.

Do you mean the Moto GP style ones?

Heck, if i make the deal then i guess i better wait for a monoposto.

If you want a mono I`d wait,that`s why the Greek had to change his, he couldn`t wait for a mono:frog:It was an expensive decision:rolleye:

Here's Casolis Monoposto seat.(Fits bip frame)

Here's the Carbon world clip on cover.I've seen these in Italia Moto,they look pretty good.

We have drooled over these before,the Lusuardi moto seats,

Hmmmm............ not bad.
Thanks ;)
But yeah if i can i'll wait for a mono.
Lets see how this goes...... i'm not even sure i'll get the 999S

Those ones look great too.
Is the second one for a biposto?
And do they come fully painted like that?

Ok i found this one.
Too bad it comes like that and not painted, but it looks very much like the original one.

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 :o ) 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.

Yeah i understand that, but i really dig the mono tail much better.
It's that white for the numbers and it's that shorter tail section :cool:
