Airtech reviews please

Looking for a seat base for my cafe single project. Airtech has lots of options but I have heard a few mixed reviews. Mostly that its thin / light for racing and does not hold up very well.

Anyone used their products? What is your real life experience? Other options?

thanks

I've bought a few pieces from them - a 900SS single seat base and a 900SS rear fender.

Difficult to give a true assessment, as I've not dealt with anyone else's fiberglass... Actually not true - I've had a few Sharkskinz body kits back when I use to race. Sharkskinz is - IMO - the Gold Standard. But they don't make Vintage Ducati parts...

For what it's worth, I think AirTech's products are good to very good. They are kinda thin, but sturdy. They are also - again, IMO - relatively cheap for what you get.

I would - and will - buy from them again.

I got a 750 GT fiberglass tank and it is very solid, not thin and a near perfect replica of the original

in my experience they have been a good company to deal with. Usually reply to emails fast and they have good products.

Email? The only email address I found said for international customers only.

Will they "customize" the products since they are producing them on demand? I like the style of one of the seats but need it longer than it shows.
