Hello to all,

please help me - i have bought a seat from a Ducati 125 Gran Sport.

Test first test on my Frame from a 250 Daytona failed.
What is the distance across the rear struts from a 125 Sport (outside to outside).
Could someone please identify this distance once?

Thank you Karsten

Karsten,
The outside width is about 165mm until the tubes bow out slightly at the end to about 168mm.

The angle of the photo distorts the distance, but the measurement is close- if you need more precision let me know.
The frame is an early 125 Sport- I've never seen a Gran Sport.

Hello Rick,

thank you for your answer.
Your frame loop has the widt like my - but i can see on your Photo, the holder for the rear Suspension is a Little bit smaller.
There can fit my seat.

A 125 Gran Sport is the successor from the famous Marianna Gran Sport 100.
