I have bought a Ducati 748 rear fairing (same as 916 and 996) off ebay, but it has no seat pads. How easy would it be to make a pillion cowl and a riders' seat, or are there any other bikes whose seats are a precise fit already?

Yeah, I was thinking fiberglass base, then thin foam and a cover over that. I was wondering if anyone had ever made one, and could offer tips.
John Noakes could've made one out of a cornflakes packet, milk bottle tops and some sticky-back plastic, but those skills have been lost with this new generation :rolleyes

Yep! I'm carbon fibre, high density, low weight foam, and race-develloped materials.
Which is why my bike will be the fastest (black), and your retro put-putter is in senile yellow. :lol :lol :lol
No need to make a seat unit. I've mad you a hole new bike with a towing bar you can buy for less than the cost of the seat build. Free brunette with hazel eyes included.
Yours for twenty quid.

A plywood board shaped to fit hole. Screwed on to the plywood board a Dildo made to fit other hole. Atleast that way you'll have some guarantee of staying on this machine :rollin

Race foam and gaffa tape is all ya need!. :rollin :rollin
In all seriousness I have made a cafe racer seat in the past by gluing layers of camping roll mat together to get the rough shape and then carving & sanding it into a final shape.... Not too difficult

Christo I've got the old single seat I took off the z thou...if you can make summat outta that your welcome to it, I can drop it in to you later in the week when I go see me boys..
However, as I need to make a new base, shape foam, cover etc, it would just as much work modding yours as starting from scratch, and that might even be less work. But thanks very much all the same, the sentiment is much appreciated!
