You can make the Ricambi or QB units fit a 888 strada subframe - I did it in my racebike!
I ditched the grabhandles and cut off the sticky-up posts that locate the strada rear seat panels.
I also had to make up small brackets to allow me to mount onto the oe wellnuts on the bottom rail near the exhaust hangers.
I also used a couple of bits of pipe lagging in strategic locations to keep everything in place.
I was going to do the same thing on my '92 851 strada but find the underseat storage area more useful than looking like an SP.....

I have fitted a QB seat to my 888 Strada. All it needed was a bit filed off the front bracket supporting the locating pegs, to allow the seat unit to sit lower. A bit of black paint and you could not tell it had been modified.
More difficult was cutting the seat unit so I could keep the original frame mounted seat pad.
