but I'm getting some kits together for these. As the screens have large-ish slotted holes, I'm planning on adding in a larger diameter plain washer to fit next to the screen, then the o-ring, then ordinary washer and nyloc nut.

Post here or U2U me if you're interested.

I used M4x12 Stainless Button Head screws nylon washers from an online model makers suppliers and held everything togeter with Nyloc nuts so I didn't over tighten. No Well Nuts, no drilling and no hassle. I even replaced all the ones on the fairing as well.

Where did you get them from Mike?

[andyc]

I got a complete kit from pro-bolt, i think they were about £15 for the set, they do all colours and fit and look perfect.

Same here - bought the pro-bolt Ducati kit in black and they're no different from the originals except they cost a hell of a lot less and you can buy different colours.

Just make sure you get the right kit. I ordered through Busters and they sent a generic 8-piece screen kit rather than the Ducati specific one (SKDUC9) I ordered. Probably best to order direct from Pro-Bolt:

PS. Nice to meet you on Saturday and hope you get an engine cover sorted :D

Still planning to do this, as posted above, as soon as I get my ass into gear...

[antonye]

The Pro-Bolt ones aren't exactly the same, in that the oem Ducati ones are a Torx head and the Pro-Bolt ones are Allen key head, but you do get a nice new allen key in the kit too!

I liked them so much I replaced the side fairing ones and also the dzus with black ones too :D

[moto748]

They still use well-nuts, though?

The stock screws are fine, if you have the right driver. It's the well-nuts that are the problem.

antoyne...ta mate,got a 2nd hand one for 50 squids in the end,yay....

[antonye]

Nice one fella, that's a lot cheaper than new!

OK, I have finally got this together. I've taken some time lately to source some nylon washers; the ones I had got at first were a bit big, and showed quite a noticeable ring of white around the outside of the screw head. It was pointed out to me that some people might find that unsightly. So now I have managed to obtain some which are slightly smaller outside diameter. In fact, they're the same as the stock Ducati ones.

So, the screen kits do indeed include a large diameter stainless steel washer, as mentioned above.

This not required for the fairing kits, where the O-ring will got direct against the inside of the panel.


So I've got a couple of screen sets and a couple of fairing sets together initially.

I'm going to say £12 for the screen sets and £15 for the fairing sets.

So whaddya say? U2U me if interested.

Don't all rush at once! :lol:

got to say ive used pro bolt kits on my 2 400's and i wont spend a penny of my money on their kits again

the red is more like purple,the finish of the screen screws is awful, the fairing kit fitted terribly and i just dont like them :mad:

[deej]

i think its just under £6 per bolt for genuine ducati

but if you take them off carefully you wont need to spend any money
