Is there a thread showing the interchangeability of the different seats to a 2009 MP3 500 Fuoco? Thought I could find an old seat and have it built up and recovered.

All older 500 ie Fuoco's require a custom made seat. Russell Day-long, Corbin, Mayer are a few of the saddle makers that riders have used. Use the search function to find some examples.

Anyone try a Sit & Fly cover for the MP3. It seems to be a good enhancement to the standard seats on some motorbikes. I have read some good reviews of it on the NC700 forum.

I have ordered one for my NC700xd and will also see if it works on my BV250.

Procycle and eBay has them.

To make it clear to all newcomers reading this thread an older 500 i.e Gilera Fuoco, has a unique seat pan. It is shaped different than 250, 300, Yourban, 400, and the newer 500 Business. Your ONLY option is a custom seat or an overlay.

Phillyrube, you might want to ride your MP3 over to Biketober Fest in Daytona and check out the custom seat guys in the vendor areas. I have seen one or two in the large vendor area at Destination Daytona and they offer to workup your seat while you wait.

There is also Diamond Custom Seats on US 17 in Crescent City, FL that you might want to contact or visit (a nice ride to there place and you could have lunch/dinner at 3 Bananas right on Crescent Lake itself.
