This is what Ducati originally called a Comfort Seat, but they now call it a Raised Seat. https://ducatistore.co.uk/shop/ducati-raised-seat-96880981aa.html It does give better comfort to the rider & passenger, but I bought it because it is around 25mm taller. I wanted to open up the knee position a bit but the pegs can't be lowered, so this was my solution. They currently cost £232 & its perfect, so I want £180 posted (UK).
