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 just did this due to stone cracking the lens after fitting lens protector. (Rode for 18 months without one with no problems)
Using the Ducati/Bosch p/n can only get full assembly - local bike shop Aus$600, Ducati dealer Aus$400.
Using BMW/Bosch p/n lens only, through local bike shop Aus $120.
Thanks to Spider's advice I took photos of the clip arrangement that hold the lens to the chrome rim before dismantling.
Works a treat. And I am not putting the lens protector back on either.

Yes I can confirm the fork seals from a GSXR will work .They are on my bike at the moment.I can also confirm that Ducati Seattle quoted me $140.00 for fork seals.I think they thought I just fell off the turnip wagon.I worked for Suzuki motorcycles 23 years ago, So i have quite a bit of experience with these 2 wheeled things called motorbikes.

"Yelling out of cars, turning your speakers out the window to blast your music onto the street, setting off M-80 firecrackers, firing automatic weapons into the air—these are all well and good. But none of them create a merry atmosphere of insouciance and bonhomie quite like a revving motorcycle.

Tho, I called them about the lense glass, and the person who helped me told me of a "rumor" that there was a BMW part out there that fits without having to buy the whole assembly that the dealers sell. Hope Dave doesn't mind me saying that, but it's that kind of thing that keeps customers coming back, even if they don't ALWAYS buy parts there.
Mild jack, but this thread helped me find that BMW part number... so not a COMPLETE jack.

good link, does that remove press links or does it just rivet?

after you grind out out the mushroomed head on the rivet, you can use it to push the rivet out, ive read that this is the only case where it might be possile to snap the pin. after that you just adjust the tool to rivet and it'll know when to stop so you dont over rivet the chain and cause kinks. itll also press the plate in perfectly without curshing the oring.

Around $10 (includes shipping) from
http://www.ekmpowershop2.com/ekmps/shops/vauxworld/index.asp
Vaux-word - Part number: 90534902 Gets you a perfect match to replace the Oil pressure Switch - great guy to work with! I Suggest using paypal - My bank rejected the charge cuz it was a low $ amount and from the UK.
Part is for the GM Opel - has a different BAR setting - but the UK guys use 'em all the time and haven't had any problem - I've put on over 500 Miles with no issues on mine.

Do you know what Duc engines this fits? I have an older M750 (1998) that needs this part.

Ride Height adjusting link, I know you can get the rose joints from just about any bearing supplier, but how about the tie rod?

I received my oil pressure switch from Vaux-World today. It fit like an OEM part and it only cost me $12 with shipping to Ohio. Paid with Paypal on eBay.
The original Ducati part had been stamped "539.4.030.1A 0.3 - 0.6 bar" and the Opel part has been stamped "0.3 - 0.55 bar". So, it basically operates at the same pressures.
