That's one of the good things about ebay.........it attracts so many armchair shoppers who can't be bothered going out and picking stuff up cheaper from the shops themselves.

Mind you.....you can bag a bargain on ebay sometimes

Obviously some are unaware DP seats are now about 1/2 price from Ducati

As one of the first owners of one of these fine (essential) pieces of equipment, it's nice to know that you are all benefiting from my initial investment

Ahh... but it may be some comfort to know my seat still didn't fit any better than yours did. What is it with DP accessories - does the quality & fit come as an optional extra?

Oh well at least my arse notices the difference

Looking at the Ducati site it appears that the gel seat is only suitable for 2000/2001 models onwards. I think that models form this date have a slightly rvised tank shape and the seat was changed to suit.

Does anyone know if there is an alternative to fit a '98 900?
