Hi everyone ive recently bought a 1098s & the rear seat cover is red with white panels on it finished with a gold pinstripe. is this off a 1098R or a 1198R ? I'd be happy to swap it with a standard red one if anyone wants it or knows anyone who does ? Cheers Paul.
No the 1 you have appears to have been painted to look like a 1098R. I don't think that you can swap a 1098s seat unit onto a 1098R. For 1 the R's are a 1 piece carbon fibre unit. Also the Traction Control unit sits in the position on the sub frame. The little cubby hole underneath the pillion seat is different between the 2 models. A friend of mine had to adapt a 1098S seat unit to fit on a 1098R (basically the area underneath the pillion seat). Oh last but not least the 10/1198r seat units are about £3000 + VAT. They do pop up on Fleabay from time to time though.
Thanks for your reply ......could it be from a Tri-colore or something ? I was a car painter for 23yrs & it looks very original to me ....
Farmster, that finish isn't standard, it's been painted. 1089s came in red, black and yellow? I think.
