Heads up on RaceSeat fitment on 22 pV4

Help Support Ducati Forum:

I might even be ordering an 8th seat after discovering the Loris Baz is 6’3” and looking at how his seat was set up on a Ducati.

I saw a video with that guy. He was at a track day giving out some tips. He or the guy he was with said said for his height, his butt is always in contact with the tail of the bike.

I see what you mean that having the wider profile with the flat side can make it harder to flat foot the bike. I can still get my feet on the ground even if it’s in a rear stand but it definitely makes you widen your stance.

Yep lol
 
Had a think about this since Raceseats isn’t going to help.

Going to take a page out of @RickD996 ’s book and use some washers to adjust the seat height by shimming the base plate with the hook that attaches to the subframe. And depending on how much angle that puts on the rear bolts could easily just 3D print some angled washers. That should do it. Won’t be pretty as there’ll be a gap but I’d only be running this setup at the track and can dial in the height.

Lemonade from lemons.

That’s actually a pretty good idea
 
I don't think you need washers with any kind of an angle at all. Just longer screws and a washer stack. The mating surfaces at all four fastener points are parallel to each other. The whole assembly is at an angle due to the general angle of the subframe, but that is of no consequence to what you are doing.

Maybe if the new angle was great enough you'd have to remove some material around the two rear bolts for the shoulders screws.

Once you get the height, you could order some spacers.

I knew I'd convert someone!

Although, as mentioned by Steven, that is a sterling idea!

30mm lift?

Where's my washer stack...

Dunno yet but the profile looks pretty bad ass

Do you bother with tank grips anymore since going with the Vulturbike tank cover? I noticed with how wide the rear is and with the sharp(er) angle of the rear lines it really catches the inner part of your thigh. I lazily installed my older DP tank grips and my legs don't seem to be in as much contact as they were when installed on the tank without the Vulturbike cover.

Hit up Tech Spec for their new tank pads for the V4. New low profile material. I think they’re 2-3 mm thick. You can see it on my bike which Dean used as a template. They’re also super moldable and don’t peel off at the edges like the old stuff
