I'm after a touratech comfort seat for my Multi and noticed there appear to be two different models of seat ? Theres a version with 'Ducati Performance Touratech' printed on the side and one without which I assume is the Enduro model ? The version on the Ducati website (which actually states n/a and no price) doesnt appear to have anything printed on it ? I want the version with the printing on the side seeing as I'm paying through the nose so I'm reminded how much I paid for the bloody thing .
I'm thinking of the same thing for mine. I'd end up getting both rider and pillion. The red stitching on my PP would trouble my mild OCD if it didn't match on both! You know there's only motorcyclists that would put up with a manufacturer offering a 'comfort' seat as an option. You can have the standard seat, i.e. uncomfortable or pay extra for one that doesn't make your arse go numb!
My OCD is already in overdrive that I will have to lose my red stitching so will have to do the same :Arghh::Arghh: Mind you the seats sound a bargain considering the carbon fibre that's on it now :Facepalm:
Got the comfort with the printing on the side for my 2016 DVT S Touring.....seat was £396 rrp.....but the dealer threw it with a Navihalter as I paid in full for the bike....I may be able to find the ref number for the seat on my invoice if you want it?...
That would be great Rob, the part number quoted on Ducati website is 96880201A Touratech rider comfort seat.
Looking on the invoice it just says....RIDERS COMFORT SEAT - MS....sorry if i can't be of any more help Gary
Hey no problem at all mate , got the dealer on it now and said they would confirm if it had the printing on. Thanks for looking through Glad to hear its worth the money as I was squirming about quite a bit after a fair few miles
Hi Gary....Just looked at the image on the Ducati web site and i can confirm that is it indeed the same seat as mine although the image used does not have the printing on the side as mine....
It looks like a photo that's been flipped and mirrored to make it look like the RHS when in fact its the LHS ? Thanks again Rob
Dealer just informed me its a dodgy photo and the both seat and pillion are marked Ducati Performance Touratech. Printed on the seat on the RHS and pillion on the LHS. Ordered both and now need to have a lie down in a darkened room before 'er indoors finds out what they cost :Blackeye:
Couldnt leave the pillion with red stitching !!! Well I got her convinced that all the carbon fibre I fitted was a safety feature so I may get away with this, pair of shoes and a handbag may do it :Nailbiting::Nailbiting::Nailbiting:
Gucci or Prada?...once she finds out how much you've spent she'll not accept anything el' cheapo! lol
Just got back from a 1600 mile trip to the Picos mountains & back through France. Good test for the comfort seat and managed to do 2+ hours at a time in the seat without major discomfort. Don't get me wrong was still glad to get off but it was a damn site better than the stock seat. Glad I bought it! Wasnt too happy when the strap holding it down on the ferry was removed!! Aargh!!! Thought it was fooked! Thankfully it was ok after a couple hours
Has anyone let Fred from AR Pounds at Baldock loose on their seat? Please share your experiences if you have. I'm interested to know if he makes the Multi pillion seat more comfortable. I've never sat on it but it does seem very hard and my wife, who's not one to complain, really suffers when travel long distances. Thanks.
b He did mine and it was awesome, almost 400 miles one day and a pleasure to sit in. Brittany Ferries wrecked it strapping it down and he is rebuilding it again for me.
