It's a bit unusual not to have brightwork around the side windows. Everything seems to look right though, including the headrest shape. Lovely things and so much and work and craftsmanship goes into them.
Apparently my seat fitted fine. 'Small differences - nothing special' was the verdict. I don't know if they meant the fitment or the seat. I haven't seen it in person yet and so I don't know how it fits agains the tank. It looks like it's sitting a bit proud on the side at the front but I'll see what I think when I see it in person.
This was a flat seat but rounded off at the edges. It will be interesting to see if I think it could have been left wider at the front but I think it looks like it should be ok. I can take more pictures when I see it if any other angles are wanted.

When I had the Vulture Bike tank extender on my was snug abd took some fiddling to get the screws going in at the right angle, with the Vulture Bike extender off it fits like a glove

@SuperDomestique I was relieved that the height against the tank seemed good, taken as the line from the seat. It certainly seems that there is no issue with the D07 on the ‘22 bikes in terms of fitment. I’d assume they have resolved this for all the seats they sell for the ‘22 bikes but it’s certainly a good idea to check.
You could order one now…
From a design/style perspective it would be nice if that lower edge was either straight or angled more - it looks almost straight but not quite. I only noticed in the picture above and it is of zero importance of course and certainly doesn’t bother me. It‘s a good product though and I’d certainly order from them again if I want something different after I’ve had the chance to try this.
I think the OP got a bit unlucky but they did refund the cost of the seat and it does seem that fitment issues have now been resolved.

Yes they refunded me but let’s not forget how ...... RaceSeats’s customer service was.
-initially did not admit to any problems
-they blamed me for the ...... fitment
-it turns out they never tested these seats on a 22
-I had to call them out on their ........ for them to consider refund
-they were never forthcoming about any information
Also what I learned along the way
-PayPal actually doesn’t protect customers when ordering custom products
-if you order from the US you have no consumer protection when ordering overseas
-Ducati customers are both the biggest pricks yet will also stick their head in the sand when it comes to putting up ...... with companies. They expect the best of the best yet will put up with ill-fitting parts and call it a “race part” to justify this asinine thinking
So in summary, yes RaceSeat deserve to be slagged for their shittiness. I would not recommend buying a seat from them.

Sorry you feel that way and it’s totally understandable. You did get a refund so it could have been worse. Aways look on the bright side, etc.
Obviously I had a different experience and we can only speak as we find.
