seat question

Post by lingo »

I have been looking on the internet and came across a pic of a cagiva raptor with what looked like a ducati monster seat fitted, I like the look so, is it possible or do other seats fit the raptor like the raptor planet 125 as that looks similar to the monster seat....cheers

What exactly makes it look like a Monster seat? I've owned both bikes at the same time and would say there is little difference between them, beyond the excessive forward tilt of the Monster one on its frame. However, Monster ones often have a plastic cowl fitted over the back end (AKA pillion perch). You might be lucky to find a cowl for your Raptor, or you could fit a vinyl cover that gave the same appearance.

My guess is that very few seats are interchangeable between brands, because the fittings below are all quite different. You could only find out by experiment, and an alternative is unlikely to match the fit of the side panels.

Good luck!

Nick
