Title: 1100ds Piston availability?
Post by: SpikeC on August 22, 2014, 08:32:58 AM
 Hi guys, I have a cylinder with some dings in it and a guy who can fix that, but I also have a piston that is almost broken in half. Ducati sells the piston/cylinder as a unit, and I will need just the piston. Does anyone know of a source for a stock 1100ds piston?
Thanks for any insight,

Outside of a used piston, or a new from Ducati...  that's all I can think of.

If you're willing to swap the pair, Ferracci sells hi-compression drop-ins for a good price.

Good luck w/the search.

 Thanks DS, as far as I can tell Ducati does not sell the pistons, only the piston/cylinder pair. After market pistons are starting to look like the only option........

 Ferracci has 11:1 pistons for a LOT less than a cylinder set from Ducati, so that is a good option...
