MV F4 style tail

Has any one fitted the MV F4 style saet unit to there monnie? I've seen these for sale on Ebay from a German guy and was tempted to buy one, but I would like to see some pictures first.

Ah yes, Jim was the fellow - did me a great deal on tyres too...

Also Simon who had the S4 with the 916 single sider (who won most desirable bike last year at the MW, but now has a 749 - sorry, don't know his username here) had an MV seat on his...

I think Jim replaced the whole unit (including the seat pad) but Simon cut the MV tail to fit over the standard monny seat underneath - both looked good...

Jim's tail was an actual MV unit but Simon's was Monster specific and covered the original seat.

Looks great, might not look so good with my low level termis though!

The MV F4 tail is a lovely piece of design but personally I prefer to keep it on the MV. The problem is it was designed for a big sports bike with lots of plastic so on a monster It liiks really big and a bit long?
Now if you took it, split it to make it a couple of inches thinner and then shortened it by a few inches too, that would look perfect for a monster, but as standard it hangs over the rear justa bit too long. But then I do like pert little bottoms

Totally agree, looks good on an MV but on a Monster?.......the MV is a fat arse chick with padded jeans.......and a Monsters bum looks gross in it. Although it could start a new trend of increasing the coffee table capacity of the Monster rear end
Now the Triumph Speed Triple.......thats got a cracking arse

ta ra me ducks

The MV seat does sit a bit high but I think combined with the high pipes, it lessens the length and also tidies up the rear end really nicely. Indicators, brake light and exhausts all integrated into a tight little package. With Version 2, the seat will be cut down so that it doesn't sit so high and blends with the rear frame better.

Here is a few pics of the MV seat on my S4 from a while back (now being grafted onto another bike). Also shown are how the Italians did it:



But each to their own such is the wonder of "Monster Choice"....

Best regards all
