My 94 900SS suffered the cracked frame problem and Ducati replaced it even though it was more than 5 years old at the time.

But I had to take it to a franchised dealer and pay the labour - quoted at 10 hours!

They were rather disappointed when I wheeled it in with only frame engine forks wheels swingarm handlebars and front brake, and said they could not do it same day even though it was booked in.

I was very disappointed to receive a bill for over £100 for what should have been an hours job, they had the cheek to charge me for a new soft link for the chain, and they rang me demanding it was collected immediately otherwise they would charge me storage.

Take it to a decent welder mate - the official route is not worth the hassle.

and don't even ask about frame numbers!
DVLA - how much!!! DIY - cheaper - the official route is not worth the hassle.

Steve.
