Hi all, Well after many years if riding Japanese and hankering after a Ducati, I finally took the plunge. In a few weeks, I'll be the owner of a GT1000. I've always loved the retro look and I think this is a fine example. I live near Stamford, some great roads around here. I hope someone can help? I am on the hunt for a replacement seat, any condition as I want to get it customised for more of the cafe Racer look, without the uncomfortable bars. :grimacing: Does any one have one or an idea where I could get one?
E bay. There are really trick seats put there already but are a bloody fortune. Try google search for diopa seats.
Thanks, they are tricky to come by. I want to keep a pillion seat. Ideally, I'd probably want to get a replacement seat customised. The only off the shelf ones I've found are Bagster. She's such a lovely looking bike, I want to do her justice.
Hi, thanks for the tip, unfortunately, Tony couldn't help. I did find a outfit in Holland who sell OEM parts for Ducs. It's Star Twin Motors the Ducati parts site is www.oemducati.com/ Seat is on order and I'm talking to Saddle Craft in South Shields about the Cafe custom. Thinking of a mid brown leather look on a black GT. Any thoughts? I'll keep you posted.
Hi If you contact Moore speed racing in Bournemouth Tel: 01202 746141 They should be able to put you in touch with a guy who specialises in seat mods and custom builds. He did one for one of my Bimotas and it was perfect. If you get no luck let me know and I will try to find his number.
Replacement seat purchased for the GT1000 and sent off the Les @ Saddle Craft. It arrived last week and here's the result....
