well unless you buy the specific mv tail built for the monster (please don't) then the only seat or tail that will fit will be the one that is on the back of your bike right now. ANY seat and tail can be made to fit, if you don't want to mod the frame then as I'm sure you've noticed, the catch under the seat isn't exactly techno stuff. So you could remove the catch off the seat and screw it onto something else you have lined up. The main problem with the monster is the frame is on show, which means when you strip the back end down, compared to a lot of bikes the frame is lower so don't go thinking you can cover it up with a new tail, it'll still be on show only with something different plonked on top and it's quite likely it'll look a lot less in keeping with the frame than the seat you took off. Having said that it can be done and there are always exceptions to the rule.
The real question is what did you have in mind? please don't tell me you want a 916 end with underseat pipes zzzzzZZZZZZ

So tell all, what's your fancy, then maybe we'll help with how to fit it.
