Title: Best/ fastest place to get OEM parts online?
Post by: fouramdesigns on May 22, 2009, 12:54:08 PM
Needing some parts ASAP. Anyone know the pasrt# for the base gasket? I tried a few, but all it said was refer to table.

Look to the left at DMF sponsors.  Ducati Seattle and Commowealth will probably have it in stock.  Also give California Cycleworks a call.

It's a metal shim, really, not a gasket.

You can re-use it.

If I can't get something locally, I'll call Ducati Seattle or Salt Lake Motorsports.  Both will be happy to send you whatever you need right away.

I've since added Modesto Ducati to that list, since they seem to be one of the great Ducati dealers in the country.

If it's general maintenance stuff I get it from CA-cycleworks. If it's oem bits I usually ring up Ducati Seattle. I've learned to start looking through the parts manual first before I call them though so that I can make sure we're on the same page. They're usually really good at figuring out what you need from verbal alone but sometimes there can be mishaps if you don't know the exact name of the stuff you're looking for. My recent encounter with this was cam seals. I don't hold it against them though.
