Shock Absorber on 1992 907ie

Post by ltbauzo »

Hi all,

I need to replace the shock absorber on my 1992 907ie. :(

Anyone got any recommendations/lessons learnt he/she wants to share?

The best price I got so far is 450 euro + approx 50 euro of labour.

Thanks,
ltbauzo.

I have just got some spares off this chap on ebay, the bike he parted seems to of been well looked after

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/DUCATI-907ie-907- ... m153.l1262

Do you really need a new set up? I don't know the guy personally apart from the bits I collected.

I have not seen or handled this item but if it is in the same condition as my other bits then you won't go far wrong and it is a lot less euro out of your pocket than a new one.

I know he only shows UK post if there is a problem let me know and I will sort this end and post on.

maybe worth a thought.

I had mine rebuilt by a factory authorized dealer in California for around $100 US if I remember right. If you need the address, let me know and I will go see if I can dig up the information.
Battery acid had ruined the plastic dial on the bottom and they replaced it as well as rebuilt the unit. I was satisfied with their work.

Welcome on the forum.
Are you really sure you need a new shock?
Probably, you could have your one rebuilt cheaply.
I bought the Marzocchi's overhauling kit from a german seller on eBay, but I guess it could be still available at the Ducati dealers.
Besides, I guess a good specialized technician could rebuild it without that kit, too.

P.S. I'm going to move soon to Piacenza or Cremona, so I'll happy to know another Pasochist :thumbup: :thumbup: ...

Ciao

No matter!
A paso owner requires at least:
1) a wife,
2) an extra lover,
3) a girlfriend for weekend
:lol: :lol: :lol: :-P
have a nice ride, Nicola
