For me at 183 cm the stock seat is definitively too low, ears between knees :applause:
Riding solo 95% including commute (17000 km now)
Mustang, Sargent and so on for my eye too fat and too wide in the end
Owned and loved once upon a time a Laverda 750 with a Giuliari race single seat
In short: I decided to built my own single racing seat.
I used the stock seat turned around covered with kitchen foil as a mold for fiberglass/epoxy first layer. Added then two layers on the outside. Worked like a charme, some detail mods required for a good fit.

Bought hard foam for cycle seat upholtstery and a cover for a CB500 1970s Giuliari seat.

Cut the foam with a large knife into my preferred shape. For the banana view I had to sew a halfmoon across the cover to make it shorter on the seating area.
Thats how it looks now. No more knee bends! Need to rework/stretch the rear to get the wrinkles out. Any ideas how to get the Ducati letters on the back end vinyl?
