Just got a replacement seat from Ebay that said it was for a Tuono 2004-2009. It does go on, but leaves a huge gap at the sides and front. Must be an RSV seat.

Why oh why do I use Ebay? May as well chuck money down the bog.

Hmm,mine did'nt fit that well either.The strap that goes around the front does'nt help,so I took it off.Also make sure the rubber bungs are seated correctly.

Do you mean an actual gap as in you can see through underneath the seat, or lots of the plastic tail piece still showing? If the latter it may be right, as the standard pillion seat is quite small.

It leaves a 1.5cm gap at the front, and about 1cm round the sides. looks like it needs a front piece (nearest the rider). It just isn't designed for a 2008 Tuono.
Contacted the ebayer, so hopefully get it punted back.

Now the ebayer wont reply. Guess I'll have to get him banned from ebay. What he doesn't know is that I have found his home address. I'm a scary looking person and he may want to think again when I turn up at his door with a nailed stick

Ebay opened a case as the seller won't reply. I just don't understand why some people just can't play fair. If it was me, I would admit my mistake, get the refund done, and punt it again with the correct details. Not the first time some **** has tried to rip me off on ebay. I've had better service from the people on here. Bought some cans from Chrisbuk, and a shock from someone else, no problems. Just goes to show you get a better class of people on Tzone ;-).

...actually Nob...that little Kylie Minogue seat (on the right) you have there would be the bollocks for use with a Ventura luggage system....it'd look far neater then the Anne Widicombe (on the left) version I'm using ...
