Alternatives to expensive Ducati parts

This was one of the most useful threads of the tech section in the old DML. I don't know if it will be lost there so
I'm starting it over here. Don't have any parts to list but I hope the group will start adding them here.

Well.... :e:v. I read
someplace
that the s2r 800 marzocchi fork seals are very expensive. Apparently, you can use Suzuki GSXR Fork Seals..........about $11.00 each versus the $140 per side
someone
was quoted .
Maybe
someone
can verify this for me?

A bit of info from DUCATI OWNERS CLUB OF SOUTH AUSTRALIA on headlight replacement parts. The pieces can also be found at a BMW dealership (R60 -R100 Boxers) or from a Bosch electrical supplier. I haven't any personal experience with this but apparently Spidey has so a PM to him might be in order.
Headlight rim: BMW p/n 63121356402
Glass Lens: BMW p/n 63121358147 Bosch p/n 1305604904
Reflector Assy: BMW p/n 63121355396 Bosch p/n 1305304903

I would think the GSXR seals would work since they're the same dimensions.
You can get All Balls fork seals for around $50 per set, too.
I carry them if anyone needs em.

The much sought after Buell tail light lens: Part # Y0401A.D
This is the plastic lens only and should cost $10-15 US, available or orderable at every Harley Davidson dealer. It's the exact same shape as the Ducati part, from the same manufacturer, cheaper than the Ducati part, and has a clear window on the bottom. That's a nice feature that lights your plate well if you've done a tail chop.

Few of the older Monsters have regulator/rectifier issues. Sometime the blame palced is on the battery when its ussually the rectifier/regulator.
Symptons are battery doesn't charge. Hard to start the bike. Constantly need to use a plug in charger etc. Also you can get starter motors, brushes & solenoids from several on-line vendors.

This is an EXAMPLE, of what is out in the market. Much cheaper than a genuine Ducati part. A google search will also reveal plenty of other options. - Chris

Here's a reusable tip if you're careful:
Suppose you oil-soak your dry-clutch plates and want to re-new them. Someone learned this while he was converting his perfectly-good 750 to a dry-clutch.
Soak the plates in gasoline and then
CAREFULLY
set them on fire letting the flame pull the oil out of the friction material. Let them cool and re-install! This trick will also work for other oil-soaked friction material.
YMMV, and if you burn 415 acres or your home to the ground....I can't be held liable as I'll be in Aruba.

Brake light switch.....
Quote from: 64duc on May 18, 2008, 08:37:58 AM
Radio Shack keeps the switch in stock in all their stores for $1.99 plus tax.
The part number is 275-016A. SPDT Submini lever switch. EDIT: Or 275-0016 depending on which side of the packet you're looking at. Uh?
From the "other" site.

This isn't necessarily a cheaper alternative, but if you break a shifter the SuperSport shifters and S*R shifters will work with Monsters and vice-versa. They're not perfect fits, but sometimes you can't find the right one and one of these will work without a problem or any major mods.
Also, I posted a "how to" on "how to" repair the shifter when broken, in the "how to" section...

Replacements that will work for the Safety Relay on older monsters are:
Radio shack 900-2391
Seimans V203073
Bosch 0 332 207 307
Napa AR 634
Car Quest RY 620
Borg Warner R3223
Orman 68H-UA-0070003
Mopar 56006846
I can only confirm that the Borg Warner relay works. Had issues last year and replaced it with the borg warner one and haven't had a problem since. The others are all supposed to work as well but I have no FHE.

I ordered fork seals for my 97 m750 showa non-adjustable forks from the dealer for $25 each.
The parts I got were not the right ones.
Luckily i found out that hondas and bimmers use the same fork seal.
The honda kit was $22 each. including the dust cover.
Fork seal and dust cap kit Honda part number 51490-MN8-305
BMW FORK SEAL KIT FOR A GS: # 31 42 2 312 836
Seal dimensions: 54mm OD, 41mm ID, 11mm thick.
