I have just bought the same ones from Giovannimoto - just a larger set...

if they fit the 906 and 851 they are supposed to fit the 907ie.
I can let you know when they arrive if they fit...but am confident they will be OK.

Desomtimes.com sells these in the US. My Duc dealer has ordered the genuine part for me -- I think the lip is a little different. When they come in, I will report and post -- along with measurements on the missing "bullets" and grommets at the tank/panel attaching points, per other thread.

Hi Nico,

original fit the best. desmotimes seem to offer also goods ones.
I bought 50 pieces at a regelar fastener shop for € 22 to find out that the lip was over 5 mm thick instead of 1 mm.
so I grinded the lip down to 1 mm. with a belt grinder.
worked very good. :)

yep,

that's why I bought them NOT at the dealer.
If a nut is a little out of shape, I just put in an other. After grinding down the lip, which doesn't take a minute with a belt grinder :lol:

Desmoparts.com in Houston, TX, also carries fairing wellnuts. They're .70@ for M6's, and are an almost perfect replacement for factory Ducati parts, and ship quickly. The company also carries a variety of stainless buttonhead fasteners, though I personally prefer the original gloss black.

the fairing rubbers from Giovannimoto arrived and fit OK.

while "browsing" I found this MotoGuzzi site:
MG CYCLE

FAX: 608-862-2015

EMAIL info@mgcycle.com

the web site lists various rubber components that may suit the 907;

It would be handy to get someone from the USA to check out interchangeability
tank hold down rubbers
funny under tank rubber bits to clip on side cover
side cover end bits that slide onto the rear frame spigots
6mm thread vibration mounts for ECU & regulator
