Best place to get a shiny new yellow one for a 748 bip?

Ebay if you are after genuine

Here if after a Fibreglass one
http://www.hcracetech.co.uk/10420/info.php?p=8&pno=0

How much should I expect to fork out?

£150 plus for genuine plastic
or £100 fully paineted to your choice of colour inc number boards

Best with ducati orginal part?

Depends what you want.

Any info on the brackets I need?

Standard brackets etc foer the H.C.Racetech one,

diferent bracket for plastic one.
Oh, and can a numpty fit it?

No problems:)

I would have thought nearer 250 smackers for the genuine Ducati one off e bay. When I asked at a dealer it was 400 ish .....

yep, i'd agree with that, most of them seem to go for £200+, but £150 is about right if it is a bit chipped or scratched........ although you might get a deal as it's coming up to chrimbo and (a) people are having clearouts to raise money (b) it's not exactly ducati season is it?

Thanks guys.

I'd reckoned on 200-300 for the OEM so fair enough. Anyone know what the brackets consist of?

Nice monnie bought today but thanks 749er...

i dont like that one , you should really put an angled bracket on top to give it more strength,

all you need to add to a single seat that fits a mono frame is the 2 longer bolts , 2 spacers about 23mm long and an angled bracket like this one

Thanks guys. 1 more question -

Are the spacers the black rubber doodas or the anodised spacers under neath which the bolts seem to run through?

Now I just need to track down a yellow one....

The spacers are the goldy coloured sleaves you pass the bolts through. Made from Italian cheese, as always ....
