Alternatives to expensive Ducati parts

[DarkMonster620]

Anybody know of a inexpensive alternative for the passenger footrest sets for my s2r?  i'm not looking to spend $400+ on OEM...

just the footpegs or complete?

just the footpegs or complete?

complete... the footpegs seem easy enough to find, but the entire sets on the other hand..

Ok, you can try the forum's flea market and place an add in Parts Wanted or look in Parts for Sale . . . locally[Panama City, Central America], a guy fabricated his own . . . not OEM looking but functional

Brake light switch.....

Ducpainter, thanks for this tip!  (from pg1 of this thread).
Just put one in my SS.
Radio Shack price is now a whopping $2.99.
Ducati OEM price is $46.97 + shipping.

Fork seals and scrapers to fit 43mm Showas

Suzuki Bandit 1200S '98-'00

Scrapers 51173-29E00
Seals 51153-14D00

Exactly same as Ducati seals, same manufacturer (NOK), same numbers on 'em.

Pricing is not spectacularly better than Ducati, but for some folks, a Suzuki dealer may be a lot closer....

Any idea for Marzocchis?

Perhaps this:

According to Allballs Racing, all the bike models listed below use the same fork seals. Notice how many Ducks are included.

Thanks . . . I had seen it, but, since didn't see any post 01 Monsters . . . didn't pay much attention to it . .

No joke, there is a Kaw, Alfa and Fiat blank that will work.  A real lock smith should be able to hook you up.

It's true. I made extra keys on Kawi blanks for my 1998 M900. So, keys ran about $4.50 each. 

Everyone else, thanks for all the great tips on this thread.

Ducati Starter 2002 M750 Part # 270.4.001.1A = $554.05

Called EMS (Electric Motor Service) www.electricmotorsvc.com 304-752-6070

Got the exact same Denso starter. Brand new not rebuilt Denso part # 128000-6050 for $132.66 It even has the Ducati part number as 270 4001 1A above the Denso #.

They also have a Denso knockoff replacement for 109.00 if you need to save more, but I opted for the direct replacement.

I am in no way affiliated with these guys, just amazed at the savings and wanted to share with the rest of you.

I just ran a search on the denso number and came up with a $115.78 match
http://www.finditparts.com/t/4182/manufacturer/denso/products/2380794/denso-128000-6050

Or $119
http://www.stockers.com/index.php?dt=DS-101N

I contacted EMS the other week, but they are out of stock and didn't know when they would be getting more in.

Fuel pump/ignition/main relay.

ST2, 748, 916, 996, probably a fistful of others.

Standard (the brand) Part#RY241 ~$10 at your local hardware store

Replaces Bosch 120 65 115 (case also has 0 332 204 182 marking) ~$27 at a dealer.

Purportedly NAPA #AR174 will also work.

I need a fuel pressure regulator in order to complete my conversion to a metal tank on my 06 S2R1k. Does anyone know of a good aftermarket alternative?

[bagodoosh]

spent all day calling around places looking for a starter, ducati part# 270.4001.1A.
[some of this info is redundant, because i used info posted in previous posts in this thread]

finditparts; 128000-6050: i called to verify that these are actual Denso units, not rebuilds, or direct-fit. i was told that the part# has been superseded by 128000-6051. shortly after the call the 6050 showed out of stock on the website.
finditparts; 128000-6051: i was told that these are indeed Denso brand "left overs". $125 + $15 shipping to east coast from a warehouse in Ohio. Denso Warranty (90 days?)

electric motor service: called ems (which purchased stockers assets in 2009) since the website does not have an online purchasing option. they referred me to stockers.com
stockers; DS-101N: i did a search on the model# and i got some hits making me think these are Chinese made. when i asked over the phone whether they are made in china, i was told that it is their own design. the DS-101N is their internal code, but ordering that i would get a Denso  $120 + $14 shipped to US. 2yr Warranty.

summerland autosports; 128000-6050: kind of a sketchy outfit. seems like a small time operation running their business under multiple domain names. their support email is @msn.com. they do not stock the starter and seem to relay the order to the manufacturer/distributor. $81 + $7 shipping to east coast. if you're not in a rush to get the part and feeling adventurous, you could give them a try.

motor city reman; SND0670: the picture shows a denso unit, but they are not. they are also not rebuilds. they are new units -- probably similar to the stockers unit. when i asked whether they are made in china, i was told that they are made all over the world. $167 shipped to US. 2yr Warranty.

If you haven't found one yet, we have some used self contained units from 1st gen 2 valve efi systems, like the M900ie and MH900e, where the pressure regulator is hanging off the throttle bodies. And something like this would work fine.

spent all day calling around places looking for a starter, ducati part# 270.4001.1A.

I recall that either Tucker Rocky or Parts Unlimited list a part number for a starter for Ducati. I remember buying one to see it. It looked right, if only "too new and well machined". I think we're eBaying that particular model now. No one ever really needs starters for Ducatis.

going through a starter motor repair/replacement option for a customer with 07 MTS1100.  Seems there are two variants, older one works for many bikes, pre 2004/5 the other from then on.  Parts Unlimited offers "Ricks Regulators" which are great but seem to only offer the older version.   We sent out non working one to a place I used to use but they could not access the denso parts they claimed they needed.  Going to take it to one more shop then its either e bay or ??   

#27040051A - what we need, looks like teststretta motor and DS engines share this one


#27040011A  - This number can be found all over ebay both after market and OEM
