for the italian sportclassic boys, I have developed a soloseat for the ducati sportclassic (after a lots of pressures...)
They are did a group buy and I started the project last november.
This is my personal design.
Exiting soloseat is too big (IHMO)
I prefer a simple design inspired to the old 750 sport but close to the modern style of the sportclassic
So, a classic sbk design! Very light, absolutly plug&play and integrated with the design of the sport and gt bikes
The part will be mount on Sport and GT models.
For GT is avaiable a special plug fixed to the seat (with hidden screws that will fill the gap on the tank
This part is completly plug&play.
For now is a working in progress but I would like to show you the soloseat.
It is not avaiable at moment; I have to finish the part and send it to the italian guys. After this point I can produce other parts.
other infos
- soloseat will have a case under the bump (optional)
- soloseat will have a sub-body to glue the foam pad
- soloseat will be avaiable in carbon fiber o aeronautic fiber glass
Would you be able to offer the GT plug seprately for sale? Unfortunately, I've invested in another seat option last year. The plug would really finish off the look.
For sure, there is no problem but you have to adapt on your seat/tank
the best will be to fix with some pieces of velcro on the tank.
Another, the plug has that design, it go out from the mould without trimmed.
so you have to see if it will be ok with your new seat design
It is my pleasure I have already founded a special Velcro for Nautical use (water resistant) if you are interested I can arrange a special kit for you. Send me a mp please
Hey Giuseppe, how are your many projects coming along? Any updates for us anxious GT owners regarding your solo seat / tank filler design? Can't wait to see the progress / details!
another step:
seat pad body (optional).
You can use this part to glue the seat pad.
It is the best solution because it will be fixed by nuts under the solo seat instead of velcro, glue or something else.
The part can be re-shaped with dremel tool or other cutting tool
There is white center line for helping to re-desing a new contour.
It could be cut in two part for building a racing seat pad with separate back support
How are all of the final checks and details coming along with your solo seat?
Do you have any photos of the "near" final seats and GT tank plugs? Very eager to see it!
Also, you mentioned offering these in carbon and fiberglass. Is that still going to be the case? While I love the idea of carbon fiber, I'm no gram counter and I'm going to be painting it to match my bike. Seems a shame to cover beautifully crafted carbon fiber up with paint. Maybe the fiberglass would be a wiser choice for me. Then again, maybe I could come up with a paint scheme that would let some of the carbon peek through a bit. Ohhhh, the decisions.
As you can tell, I'm very excited to see your work! Don't keep us waiting too much longer...
seat is ready (both version: sport/sportS/PS and GT)
I am testing the final part but it is GREAT!!!!!!!!!!
and Yes, there will be two version
- cabonfiber
- Avio Fiber (special and very strong fiberglass)
Next week will be the right week...
