The better half has passed and off to get herself a monster which, hoorah, means I can slap on that single seat at long last. Need some advice -

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

How much should I expect to fork out?

Best with ducati orginal part?

Any info on the brackets I need?

Oh, and can a numpty fit it?

its a bit of a trek but have a look at www.3Xmotorcycles.net they have a brand new 620 with £1000 off so its £3999, the S2Rs are all sold but they might still have that one.

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...
