chain glide rail and other parts

[Max]

I was doing 60 MPH the chain broke, front sproket came off, engine left side cover broke and lost of other things and I lived to tell about it. Thank god I am still here.
I got most of the parts and still need the left side engine cover gasket, white plastic part that chain glides on(near the front sproket) and also the front sproket retaining clip that has two bolts. Can any body tell me if any of these items are still a dealer item or where can I get them? Any help is apriciated.

The chain slider for the swingarm is no longer available IIRC.

Ducati does not offer a gasket anymore for the side cover, but I believe Chris Kelly over at California Cycleworks has some remanufactured ones ( www.ca-cycleworks.com ). If I recall correctly, you may have an issue with ignition pickup offset if you do not use a gasket, but I don't know first-hand about this.

The front sprocket retainer is the same as the newer models and still available through your Ducati dealer. Interestingly, though, the bolts for my Paso's front sprocket retainer are a little larger diameter than the ones on my other Ducatis, so you may have to drill the holes out a little.....which may be a potential issue with the retainer is hardened any (I think it is).

I thought the chain roller guide was Ducati part number 037040230. Nevertheless if you get a meter of 5mm square section Aluminium bar, Araldyte and tin foil I can show you a wonderful way to make a new chain guide for your swingarm!

I tried to buy one through a local delaer who has always been good about finding older parts for me, and it was not available 3 years ago.....unless he accidentally used the wrong part number in his search. Mine is chewed up and at one time worked its way loose, slid forward, and the front sprocket ate the center of it out.

Did you buy that recently? I would think that the 907 would be compatible with the 750 since the front 98% of the swingarms are practically identical.

No , I bought that probly 5 years ago . When I decided that the paso was the bike for life ( 2mins after I 1st rode it ) I bought a whole bunch of stuff ( new and 2nd hand ) like head and tail light assy's , blinker lenses ( 4 of each ) , pretty much what I would need to fix a small woopsie. And after writing off my SS

I found that things like switched and brakes, carbs etc would /could fit.
Ya know , looking at this photo is quite upsetting ( no shit !). Im more pissed off and emotional about loosing this bike that the fact the crash nearly killed me and put me in hospital for 4 months and off work for over a year now...............( to say nothing of the depth and toxicity of the shit I got in with the Mrs for buying it in the 1st place )( If any one wants to hear the whole story just say )
but I spose that makes me a real motorcyclist, and Im happy about that

The picture shows you how to make a chain guide on your swingarm - you might rermove the swingarm to do this. A 5mm square aluminium rod will fit between the chain plates and rest on the rollers. Pretending that the wooden block is the swingarm, having cleaned the swingarm, glue the rod onto the arm between the twin grooves worn by the chain. While the glue is still wet, overlay the foil strips onto the work to prevent oil contamination of the composite glue. I decided against welding because the welding could melt the 5mm rod and if it needs replacing its just a quick bash with a hammer and its off rather than cutting it off and risking damage to the swingarm. Don't worry about it coming off in use, it wont.
