So, BirdDuck, where exactly in the grand ol USA do you live that you can't find Ducati parts?
After e-bay and Craigslist, there's ducati breakers like Nick Anglada https://www.facebook.com/UsedDucatiParts and GuzziTech.
Everything is possible to find on the internet, of course patience is required, and a paypal account. Some parts have taken me several years to find, like my 300mm cast iron full floating Brembo rotors, new in a box.
But if you are interested in a set of stock Mikunis and a stage 1 kit, drop me a line. they are in the garage some where, and I'm on the Dellorto wagon, so I won't be using them.

Cheers, Phil

has anyone used the round slide mikuni carbs? there is tones of those around for cheap. i believe they are mostly off two stroke applications, i thought i have seen them on some other models of ducs maybe the bevel engines?

Phil has made you a good offer. Why don't you do as he suggested, and drop him a line?

He will be getting the boots, manifolds, stock carbs, Stage 1 Dynojet kit, and a throttle if I can find it. After owning it for 5 years, and taking up shelf space, I'm glad to make some room

I'll be making some more room in the coming weeks as I might be moving shortly, and need to start cleaning up.

Cheers, Phil

wired it up last night. direct power from the batt to a relay with on with key on. every connection is soldered and shrink wrapped, 8ga wire feeding the coils juice :D.. the electric engineer for ducati must have been on acid or something with how all the systems are run :S
