Day 4: Storywood Speyside Reposado 7, 80 proof. Yes it sounds like a mashup of scotch & tequila. It was ok.

I still think very little will be available from Ducati.

Ducati Omaha has an online parts lookup system. It only goes back to Y2K. The 900 was FI by then so most of what you need won't be the same.

Some Japanese bikes use a shouldered bolt with a larger diameter than the threads.  The wheels have a corresponding hole to receive the shoulder thereby providing a separation of the braking forces versus the clamping forces.

I liked that. I wished Ducati had done that.  But yeah, they hadn't by that evolutionary point, so the rest of the above makes sense.

Also, it was scary to occasionally see someone use a stainless bolt for rotor attachment. Anywho.

Afternoon All!

I have an old 1996 M900. It sat for a long time with the previous owner. I have her running, and she sounds great. But all of the rubber is dry-rotted.

Is there a list of all the rubber parts and their corresponding part numbers that I can use to start ordering replacements? A rubber restoration kit would be ideal, but a search has not revealed anything like that.

Fuel lines, vacuum lines, rubber buffers, battery hold-down, all that sort of stuff.

Thanks,
Duane
