Heads up on RaceSeat fitment on 22 pV4

Steven31371 · Jan 28, 2023

MonkeyGripps for the win, woe, both the high profile and low profile feel better than anything else I’ve tried so far, won’t know 100% until the next track day but so far they fit my body ergos REALLY well

Btw, finally test fitted mine and the holes lined up perfectly. Didn’t have to force anything into place. On the contrary it was a little loose in front, so I’ll add some rubber pads under the base plate to take up the slack.

Need to do any gymnastics to get it to fit?

You could also bend the tab down a bit or wrap it w electrical tape to get a little more pressure/solid

Pulling the pin on this project. Too much work. Spacers push the bracket forward and it doesn't clear the tank. Seat is for sale.

$250 shipped and it's yours. $100 off because you'll have to ovalize the holes

Bp this is the way, wish I would have found it BEFORE the VultureBike setup lol

This is the high profile version of the MonkeyGripps.

It makes a nice comfortable flat place for your chest in the tuck. And the leg hooks in perfectly and super secure.

That thing they teach you that you are supposed to be able to hang of the bike with just your legs?, I’ve never been able to do that, just couldn’t get hooked in right to bear all my upper body weight, but with this thing it’s easy.

It also hangs far enough back from the seat ti be good under braking, and there is a gap between the bottom of it and the seat fir your junk so you nuts don’t get crush in hard braking.

I guess the only speculative grip I'd have is that its held on with tape. IIRC, I think their instructions said it can be installed with silicone, which if I liked it, I would do.

It’s really good 3M tape, I’m 250 pounds, it doesn’t budge. But yeah it’s easy to affix semi permanently

Considering they refunded you the entire purchase amount, and you consider the product defective, the decent thing to do is sell it for the cost of shipping.

According to you there’s nothing wrong with it so by that logic it should be sold at full value

BP PanigaleV4S · Jan 30, 2023

I wouldn't expect you to understand.

Or return it so they can confirm it was faulty…

They didn’t want to fix it so they refunded me

I think I’m getting Italian customer service. They’re super attentive when they want your money. As soon as you pay them, you’re on their time and agenda. If you’re not happy w the product, you’re dead to them.

You argue like you’re woke.

Everyone is getting this wrong, so wrong.

This seat is now famous! On the globally recognised ducatiforum.net, no less.

$2,500 now, at least!

Rick gets it. Believe the advertyzing. This seat only laps Valencia 4 sec slower than the GP bike’s seat! It’s also made of carbon fybaaaah!

I paid for my seat on 26 January and it's being delivered today, just after my bike has been collected by the dealer to fit the new wheels and exhaust. I'll probably take it along there and see how it fits. Good communication through the pre-order process and they were happy to keep taking different pictures and show comparisons to the standard seat. I ordered the flat seat but asked for it to be rounded off a bit on the edges.

They reckon there were some issues with a change of screws and the hole size for the current bike and apparently it's sorted now, so it will be interesting to see how well it fits and how it sits on the bike.

I'm not posting to make any points, etc - just adding to the thread with my experience of this Company, which may or may not end up positive!

Did you get the D11-01 seat? Would be interesting to hear about fitment. Hope it works out for you. Be careful when pressing down on the seat if it’s the same base as the one the sent me. I found that the base marred the tank at the arrow. The 22+ tank is wider that the prev gen at the back which could explain this.

Also as a side note… I think I found the material that RaceSeats uses

Thanks @SuperDomestique

I’ve got the standard material. I will check fitment carefully.

RickD996 · Feb 5, 2023

Return of the Washers!

Guys, I added 18mm of spacers to my seat bracket. It wasn't a problem. I added 6x3mm at the front (fitted longer bolts to accommodate), and 2x3mm at the rear. No issues

I'm off to Spain end of the month, so will try it out.
