Brancato engineering
Just wanted to recommend Tony at Brancato enginnering.

I am in the middle of reshimming the valves on the Multistrada and needed the button spacer for measuring closer shims. Tried the 2 local Ducati dealers and the first said they couldnt sell me one!? And the second could sell me one for £60! Found a mention of Brancato on here and give him a ring and hes posting me the part for £20 + vat.

What made the call particularly worthwile was the 30 minutes of technical advice (which I didnt really ask for) on all things from the shimming of valves to belt tensioning.

First class service indeed.

Yep - I got my SS mirror extensions from Tony and remember a similar session of tech chat in which I was impressed with the advice.

Brancato of course, appear in our own dealer ratings:

and they have their own website:

And there is a link to Tony's website in my signature, but you will have to go to my public profile to see it.
Must pop over and see how he is settling into the new unit

You never ever phone Tony B up unless you can afford the time for at least a 30 minute chat-going over there to see him requires 1/2 day minimum.

Top bloke.
