I'm looking for the cooling system hose that goes from the bottom of the plastic expansion tank to the radiator and head (it's Y shaped). Ducati dlrs say no longer available. I'd like to change all the hoses now, if this one failed the others probably aren't far behind. Any guidance is much appreciated.

Hi Steve, Yeah those hoses are a thing of beauty,and doubtless they will not be a joy forever, I think there has been a previous post regarding this problem and the best that seemed to be able to solve it is a mixture of adaptors and clamps, I don,t know where you are located but try Gowanlochs in Sydney, Australia. other than that refer to my post in Idle Noise ,Reuse and Recycle, Ex-Washing Machines are good for this type of thing (Dont laugh we used to make some wicked things from these in our youth) :laugh: It may not help but it may take the initial pain away,Hope you have some joy in sorting it out though .. Regards.

Steve,

Back in early '05 I bought just about every hose for the 907 I could get my hands on. That was also the same year Ducati officially announced that it would no longer carry parts for the 907. I've been able to get parts including hoses from Gowanlock in AU. They are great people to work with and respond to emails pretty quickly.

One other thing; I purchased hoses from them and from two US Duc dealers and got the ones from Gowanlock sooner than the dealers here in the US of A! :thumbup:

Good luck!
