Should have one about that I took of the 998R when converting it back to road use. Need to dig it out, check it hasn't got any damage and then finmd out a price

Hi Skidlids

That would be good of you....it is the one that sits in front of the head stock curving around to the right hand side of the frame and not behind head stock.

You have a PM as well

Geoff at gtec has one if you cant get it....

[pguenet]

I have some of those here. I was keeping them for projects but might be able to spare one. Let me know if you get stuck.

996RS was different to 998RS. The 998RS is the same as 999RS tho' which may help broaden the search. Water circuit changes on 'stretta engines made the changes between the 6 and 8's. I'm guessin from your ID you have a 998 so i think you're better chasing 998 or 999....
Neither are available any more though i'm afraid. So i can't help there unfortunately.

Nelly, how can you tell the difference when looking at the two tanks side by side?

[nelly]

?? not sure. I checked my parts system as i bought one last year for a customer's 999. Just checkin to see if they were still available cause i had it in my shell like that the 998 was the same as 999.

I can take another look tomorrow, but only have the parts diag's to go off.

As if by magic, one's just popped up on ebay!

Or you can call Dave Reilly at Ducati Coventry and buy one from him for half the price. He may have a few left. I think they are about £20-25.
