[fraggle]

Hi,

Would like to know if anyone has any info on which is the best tensioning tool for home belt changes on a 916?

Just missed that Ducati one on ebay was that a good price?? I was not too sure if it was a bit dear??

Also, can anyone tell me where is the best place to source timing belts for my 916?? would prefer to use genuine parts.

Thanks in advance for any comments/advice, all gladly received.

A genuine bargain at this price, I was going to get one from my Snap On dealer, there one was way over £100.00!
I rang Dave last night to pay for mine, he's a really decent bloke, he couldn't quite believe the sudden interest in them, and I explained it was relating to the D.S.C. he's been selling them for some time now to various Ducati owners, but he's selling them as fast as he can get them in at this price!
