I think that any other 750 bushing should work in this case. Monster, SS, Paso, etc...

There is a "newer style" bushing that is thicker and has a larger radius at the bend-it almost appears to be cast rather than stamped, like mine is. The local shop ordered me one and it is a slightly different diameter and is too thick to fit between the pipe and the head.

Damn!

Safe to assume they can't get the original part??

Should be a simple thing for any local auto machine shop or well equipped muffler shop to make up if it can't be found.Hell for that matter you can make your own at home with some map gas a hammer and a slip fit pipe. It's not like Ducati was the only manufacturer that used this sort of exhaust mount.

Is it possible that the Ferraci exhaust used a different half bushing on this bike? I did go to a muffler shop today and found out that exhaust tubing is about 6 times thicker than this bushing that I have.

Thanks for the link to Ferracci! I'll call them tomorrow. Spent all day in muffler shops and at the Ducati shop looking for a solution. If Ferracci can't help I 'll ask you for one of your spares! Thanks, Paul

I talked with Ferracci this morning and the bushing they stock is the same part # as the one from my local Ducati shop-I described the difference in the two, and the one they have is not the one in my bike. Mine is made very obviously out of a piece of of guaged metal, with the shoulder rolled into it. There is no difference in thickness anywhere in it. Would you be willing to send me one of yours if you think it might work? Thanks, Paul

Will be posted tomorrow,you should have it by the weekend.................. :thumbup:


On its way,postman says you will have it friday. Only thing I really need is some of those black nylon washers for body works if you have some.I have plenty of wellnuts and 6mm screw but short on washers especially the smaller ones for the trim panel below the cluster :dunno: If not don't worry about it, least it will get used and not sit in someone's museum or living room :thumbup:
