That is not formerly Pablo's.  I do not remember who's it is, but if you search tail cowling, you may get your answer.

Edit: I searched using the above and seat cover and found nothing, but I do know I've seen it here before.

I'm pretty sure it is (OK, was) Pablo's bike.  See this one (http://www.gstwins.com/photogallery/displayimage.php?album=search&cat=0&pos=2) from the Gallery.

The paper cutout in the pic that KYGS500E found was Pablo's "artist's conception" of a possible solo seat cowl design.

I stand corrected.  Link doesn't work, though.  Did you mean to link this: http://pantablo500.tripod.com/id5.html ?

No, I meant this image (http://www.gstwins.com/photogallery/albums/userpics/10006/rearlicensecloseup.jpg), but the original link was to the Gallery page because I thought the accompanying caption would lend it a little credibility:

you guys got it covered. yes, my bike; yes, 2001 ducati monster fairing, ziptied to headlight mounting ears.

the pre 2000 fairings are different looking. these are much better looking. surprising amount of wind blockage with that little fairing-made the freeway stints a bit more bearable. I got lucky and scored a cheap one on ebay to get that one. I color matched it with coor-rite.com OEM paint and it looked much better matched to the bike color than it did silver.
