Anyone got a replacement for the S4R radiator? $1600 from the dealer - lists at 1900
there are tons of aftermarket radiator manufacturers if you don't need it to look the same.. is this a curved one?
I know Setrab makes good radiators in all sizes, but no curved ones.

funny, i just asked someone the other day if the s4...etc. radiator needed to be so big...or if it was just what ducati had available when they built the bike.
my guess is its that big because thats what the fared superbike needed. of course WTFDIK

Yep it's curved.
From looking at pics of units on ebay, it's similar to the superbike rads, but not identical.
Going to a radiator shop tomorrow to see what they have to say.

I found a simple cheap fix for the ugly holes left when you pull the stock mirrors.
Plastic push fasteners used for holding interior auto panels.
The ones I used came from Lowe's and are for a Nissan.
part# 881206
Push fasteners
variable depth
0.80 for a pair.

Yeah, but that's cheating.
Also, while it works with Monsters, some of the other Ducs (748)don't have that option.

748 mirrors mount through the fairing to the fairing stays. I think it is monsters with non-coffin style brakes that can't be flipped, my '01 M900 for example.

Psst....I think that was a joke....
Not a joke.
'97 M900, two sources for replacement/additional keys:
1) Kawasaki dealer. Key = Silca KW14. ($5 from dealer in Plano, TX).
2) Locksmith. Key = KA11. ($3.50 from Bee's Key's locksmith in Dallas, TX. Have a second store next to AMS on Industrial Blvd. I went to the store @ 7711 Inwood, just South of Lovers Lane).

Thanks for the tip and the part # - helpful detail that saves a lot of time and
talking to the wrong person at Lowes.

If you lose the weird nut that holds the brake and clutch levers on, and dont want to spend $8 for one at the dealer. It's called a Pal nut and can be had from "Metric Tool" in Wakefield MA for 64 cents.

BTW headlight
Glass Lens: Bosch p/n 1305604904 is no longer available
, and there is no replacement number. I contacted Bosch looking for a cross reference for a clear lens of the same dimensions, and they reported back with the following:
Lens # 1305604904 is obsolete and no longer available from Bosch. No update
is offered on this lens/headlight. Bosch is not able to fulfill your request for a replacement unit.

Bosch e-mail reply

No joke, there is a Kaw, Alfa and Fiat blank that will work. A real lock smith should be able to hook you up.
dont you need the chip in the key for it to work?

This refers to older bikes without the immobilizer.
