Broken casting, Whats it called? Hi guys, After a 250mile ride to Ghost and back yesterday I noticed my right mirror was a bit flappy. The casting that holds the fairing on has cracked and so I need a new one. It's just to the side of the rev counter. Without taking it apart I cant see how big the broken part is. Anyone have an idea or know the exact name so I can start hunting for one from a broken bike? The rest of the bike is in good condition so no idea how this has happened? Cheers, Wes |
Hello Wes, its the headlamp casing they are left and right handed you need the right one, but I would look at welding and plating over it. Because it is a diecasting it may not be possible to weld. But it still can be rrpaired by other means and its not really visable. |
Cheers Phil, I had a quick look when I got home and though it may just be easier to replace than take things apart and plate/weld. I'll get it out and have a look. |
I also saw your stand pics on Ducatisti. Another project for me! |
dont know where you are, but I have a repaired one which seems to work of if you want it, I assume its the gold headlight bucket which the fairing stay bolts too... |
Picture 1 Attachment(s) Not sure bradders? Here is a pic of the broken part. Cheers! |
From the manual I've kindly been pointed too it's the RH mirror holder. I dont fancy repairing it so...... Off to the wanted section of the forum now then! |
Looks like a replacement fairing/mirror stay is in order. Try Jim @ Bike Enders: 01708 455530 he has a lot of 2nd hand Ducati bits. or Mark Magenis at Time Machine Bikes 07796 774598 |
whoops sorry, thought this was in the 996 section!! in which case I dont |
Neither of those guys were able to help. Is there anyone else who commonly hold spares? I'm off to riders to get a price for a new one but who knows! |
