Ducati 999 Seat Cowl

Discussion in '749 / 999' started by dean hawkins, Jun 22, 2016.

  1. Good evening all, I've just bought a ducats 999 and it has the rear seat pillion passenger on it? I would like to change it to a single seat cowl but have been told I need to change the sub frame, to accommodate the seat cowl.
    Is this correct?????
     
  2. Thread moved to correct section
     
  3. Cheers, think I've put it in correct forum now???

  4. No you put it in the newbies section. I moved it to the correct section for you ;)
     
  5. I'm interseted in this too as I want to do this. I 'think" you can remove the pillion seat and replace with a cowl OR alter/swap the sub frame and put a single seat unit on instead. I believe the single seat unit is supposed to look better.

    I'm waiting to be corrected.......
     
  6. Many thanks
     
  7. Cream is right, either a cowl in place of the bip seat or change the whole rear unit for the mono look. That is much more money to do.

    When i bought mine new in 06 i didn't like the long exhaust of the mono so got a bip and instantly put on a cowl.

  8. image.png These bolt straight onto bips and are v comfy. This is new old stock on ebay for 750. They were 450ish originally! They go for 150-200ish s/h. Otherwise you need subframe etc. for full conversion. Theres also cowl that replaces pillion seat £50 new unpainted on ebay.
     
  9. That picture was from 06, the bike looks a bit tired now. An overhaul is on my to do list :)

  10. I think that Desmo style tail is hideous to be honest, sorry. It's from a different bike, the style i mean.

  11. What about the testatretta models? Probably showing I haven't done my homework wother this response?
     
  12. Could you put the link up for the £50 that replace the seat please? I can't find it
     
  13. They are all Testastretta models mate. It's either mono posto or biposto.

  16. best option is complets unit, subframe et all,, just keep the same seat,, whole thing swaps over in about 30 mins should you need to,, cost on av 250 ish
     
  17. thinking of selling this one goes on a bip frame instead of seat straight swap needs repaint on the white
