DP solo seat conversion pics - Ducati.ms

Hello all. Thought I'd post some pics of the latest project - the conversion of a biposto to a monoposto using the DP gear. Hope you like the pics of my babies.
Big thanks to Jason and Jake at Section8 for hooking me up with some nice parts over the last 8 months!

that is a REALLY sweet tailpiece!.....nice job!...what'd it set ya back if you don't mind me asking?....and is it Fiberglass or Carbon Fiber or molded plastic?

Yeah, and how long would it take you to swap the stock tail and seat back on when you want to take the Mrs. for a ride? If it's only a few minutes, I'm gonna do the same mod to mine! Thanks for posting great pics, too.

Thanks. Piece is fiberglass. Cost about $690 chavos! Pricey, but nice. I had to fabricate and install the mesh grilles on the vent openings. Jake applied the 'Ducati Superbike' stickers on both sides. I'm very happy with the result, and it provides better cooling as well. Plus, I can convert back to biposto if I ever wanted to carry a passenger.

Dan, it would probably take about 15-20 minutes to swap back.

Very nice tailpiece.

IMHO one of the best looking 999 monó conversions availble.

I see you have great taste in trucks, too! I knew you guys and gals on this board were a great bunch! How do you like the truck so far?

you look a little to young to ride, i'd have concerned about holding the bike up (let alone reaching the handlebars) at stop lights long before i do seat conversions. but to each his own. ceet looks good
