JC - I would imagine a Fleda for this set-up would not be too much different from what you already make for the seats you sell, or the Diopa seat (which this alloy seat looks to replicate in shape).

Seat deposits for the group buy

DEPOSIT ONLY: Ducati Sport Classic Aluminum Tail and Seat

Please let us know which seat configuration you want. We are planning to go ahead with the mono configuration unless there is demand for the two piece as we have to make molds for the seat bases.

The group buy deposit must be in by December 31st to qualify for the group buy price.
After Decemebr 31, the tail/seat will retail for $1295.

The tails will be ready to ship as early as the first week of December. We are currently waiting for the seats to be completed.

The mono pad seat is beautiful but I think the two piece seat looks more "appropriate" for the overall style of our bikes and makes the tail more visually important since it doesn't have to compete with the one large pad. I'm already down for the tank but I would lean toward the two pad version tail if and when I decide to pull the trigger on that.

This seat hangs over the frame so it is a little different from the Diopa
The FLEDA would probably be more like the one we make for the stock seat but follows the curve of this new seat.
All in good time, brick by brick my citizens, it shall be made

I like the two piece better as well - but because of the tooling costs, they want 30 of each seat base made. It less expensive to make one type--because of the tooling costs.

Or the minority group can share the cost of the tooling cost on the least popular seat. Up to you guys. I'll make it happen either way.

I can set it up the seat types as an option on our website. That way the ones that are buying will be making the choice.

Deposit made (last week) on a S1K tank. Would be interested in a seat/tail, if it matched the Terblanche design. Any thought in producing that style?

The OEM seat cowl is on the drawing board.
However the mounts are complicated. We would need to get 30 buyers lined up for those. Cost would be about $695 per unit in a group buy.
I will probably have to start a new thread to take a poll on how many are interested - and then start taking deposits for them.

Single Seat Tail - deposit made

Thanks again for this, deposit placed for the Tail w/single seat pad (Deposit also placed a few weeks ago for the tank included a delayed shipping request)

Will need shipping direct to Melbourne Australia when we are ready to have that discussion. I'm also looking at some other parts from the Moto site as well, am I correct in assuming the seat and tank wont go via the US anyway?

Really looking forward to this!

Cheers - Andrew (Las)

Wow, I was all about the OEM cowl until I heard that price... Only $200 cheaper than the full aluminum tail!! I guess I'll be making a deposit for the tail soon...

The OEM seat has a bunch of work that must be done by another company, plus we have to cover all the tooling as well as sacrifice a seat cowl for the mold.

Most of the tooling was in place for the full tail and everything but the seat pad was done in house.
