1200 DVT Whats It Worth Post!!!

Mr Bumpkin, I think you understand women rather well. Good advice I'd say.

 

Funny my wife swears the Multistrada is the most comfortable bike we’ve had, I’m a lot taller than my wife and we are on a V4S.

My favourite aftermarket seat is a Corbin, I have done many miles on them, nut haven’t bothered on the Multistrada

 

Maybe try one of these? You can adjust the angles to change the flow of air. This is the ‘proper’ version but you can find similar Chinese knock off versions on eBay. I found it made a huge difference for me.

I have Ducati Performance Touratech seats, both rider and pillion. On the 1260 these make a significant difference for me as rider. Would have been churlish to have not indulged GF with the same. No complaints from her, though she didn't get the chance to try the OEM pillion seat. Unfortunately these are a fairly rare find these days. Took them off the wreckage of my old 1260, yet to fit them to the Pikes Peak, the std. seat on that seems better than the stock one on the 1260s but the DP seats will go on at some point.

 

I was buying one form a guy locally (he decided not to sell) for 5.5k. Mint, 9k miles S with luggage. He’d been offered 3 grand my serval dealers. This was in the summer.

6k seemed to be the price when I looked around, many dealers were selling with few more miles for 7-7.5k so without dealer premium. Of you need it gone less than 6

 

Exactly this, an MRA screen with a deflector and a Touratech comfort seat should see the job right. Also set up the preload correctly and ensure that the Skyhook is in its correct setting for you both (and luggage if being used).

Multi has been consistently voted best pillion perch by my other half, seeing off an S1000XR and two GS1200’s.

 

A less expensive option you might consider is, a taller seat for you, a better seat for her, a new full face helmet for her, the tallest multi windscreen available to be used only when riding with her, foamie, 92 db ear plugs for each of you, and Sena comms if you aren't using them already.

 

I might be interested, where are you based?

 

Hi, I have PM'd you. Thanks Neil

 

@glenandem Got any more pictures of your puig screen and evotech mount? I'm looking at both so would be useful to see thanks
