Ducati Omaha has all of the parts breakdowns available online.  Commonwealth Motorcycles and Pro Italia have also been good to me for parts.  Gotham Cycles is a good source for used parts.  It may not be listed on their website so he has to call or email.

All he has to do is find the part numbers needed and then just start shopping them online.  More than likely immediately available somewhere.

These are good suggestions.    This is not the kind of part that fails often and would not usually show up as an "in stock on the shelf" item.  Like T said though, find and verify the part number and where else it shows up. ( I bet it is the same part over lots of engines ). Used or part outs may be a very good option. Of course there is still the basic question of why did it fail in the first place?

Frederick, as I recall ( old man mind here ) that sprague bolts into the back of the flywheel so it was still going strong on your old Monster that had 30,000+ miles on it. ( which begs the question what caused the failure ).   If it's the same part I might still have it.............. someplace ..............

$800-$1000 quoted by dealer....2 week wait for part   

You wonder about owning one of them there Dew-cat-tees if you don't do you own work...

And even ifyou still sometimes must wonder...

118811,
I feel the same as DRB,  that should about be a "lifetime" part.  When I posted
Gotham Cycles I was thinking I'd have no fear of installing a used part at a reduced cost.

$60 out of Gotham Cycles.

 $90 form Ducati Omaha BNIB.  I couldn't check availability though.

It's amazing how many things I find more enjoyable than laundry.

Headed home this morning...

Heading into town to work but there is a huge cluster f*ck accident on the Pali somewhere. Pali backed up down to Kailua High School a half hour ago & backed up Kalanianaole to the Fire Station.     I'll see how it goes.  There were lots of bikes pulled over to the side of the road when we were coming home from breakfast.

According to a six bike shootout in the latest Motorcyclist magazine, my new ride is long of tooth and overweight, which led to a 5th place finish...kinda like it's owner, except for the overweight part that is...

I guess the lack of technological sophistication didn't help either when compared to the other bikes...fits me and my flip phone just fine though...

I read that article tonight & thought by all standards and the "gauge" setting displays that it should have come in fourth, ahead of the Ducati Monster.

Just finished talking with Mike, the guy that bought my SF, the bike quit on him at 1:00am last night on H3.  He said it started acting like it was running on one cylinder then quit altogether and wouldn't restart...he checked the fuses and said they looked good, but one of the relays was clicking when he thumbed the starter button.  I reminded him he still has warranty on it until the 23rd, so he'll get it down to SSD and let them work it out.

Dodged that bullet didn't you.
