2012 Touring model available in U.S. yet?
I have a 2012 on order and my dealer claims it keeps getting pushed back. First said delivery was in November, then pushed to December and that came and went, and now says January. We'll, we are into the first week of January and no news on the bike yet. Has anybody in the U.S. took delivery of a 2012 model Touring? I know the Pikes Peak bike has been available since last fall but I'm asking about the Touring model.

The mounts are different on the 2012 seat, on the surface it doesn't look like a simple swap.
2012 are out Ducati Austin had some (including a PP), that's where I was checking out the seat differences.

The metal pin is shorter and the rider seat doesn't have any holes in

Yes I knew I had to swap the pin too. I need the room that the new seat provides.

The riders seat has more room both at the front and the rear.
The passenger seat is slightly smaller at the front but not where the pillion sits so its not an issue.
I'm tall, I sit back against the pillion seat and need more room. And, offroad it's hard to get your body at the front pivot point with the current seat - the new style should help.

The PP seat looks different from the seats of the normal Multi's, but is the build of the seat from the 2012 PP the same as the other 2012 Multi's?
