Mr Earl

My local dealer tells me that the O-rings for the throttle body-to-head seal are unobtainium through Ducati.  The part number is 46320221A.  Omaha Ducati may have it, but $20 shipping for a couple O-rings?  I think not.  Anyone have any leads?  For a 2003 M800.  Thank you.

But none of them create a merry atmosphere of insouciance and bonhomie quite like a revving motorcycle.

Thanks!  Anyone know what these O-rings are made of?

anything resistant to gasoline will be fine.  Nitrile is the most common gas-resistant rubber for o-rings.  EPDM for brake fluid.
