Anyone Know If This Will Fit My 916?

[desmobob]

Bought a carbon hugger off Tinkler from this DSC site and it appears to be for a 749/999.
I've tried my best to get it to fit, but there's just no way I can see if it will fit.
He's responded; "I can only say what ducati told me and advertised in there perfomance catalog, sorry Jamie".
Any ideas ? Anyone ever had issues with buying from the DSC before?
My original posting to which was replied stipulated 916 / 748 / 996 Hugger wanted, original post here -> http://www.ducatisportingclub.com/xmb/viewthread.php?tid=32327#

In addition to this, there's a transparent square section to the hugger when you hold it up to the light. I've been told by a couple of suppliers that it's a "second".

Gutted ! But learned a valuable lesson. Don't trust everyone, this kind of thing isn't just confined to eBay.:(

If it's from a 999/749 it won't fit a 916 (double-sided swingarm v. single-sided).
In my experience buying here is as chancy as anywhere else.

I've never had any issues buying from the DSC.

I think Tinkler is shafting you just quietly, very poor form for a DSC member but there you go ... we're all different.

Oi!

The outback is a big place to bury bodies my friend ;)

desmobob,
Yes i did write that quote and true to my knolage it does fit a 748 916 as per the Duk perfomance catalog.

I did say in a u2u that you should check the fitment AND provided the part number to you as well !!! before you bought it from me and to my knolage it is a brand new part from ducati.

BUT im not trying to SHAFT you at all, if you would like a full refund it will be given.

Did you ask this NO instead you make me out to be a robbing w***er which im not .!!!

So if you would like a refund please u2U me and well sort this matter out as it should have been done in the first place :eureka:

It's always good to get the other side of the story.

TP, the outback? You'd never stay on long enough!:lol:

[desmobob]

Apologies, after suggesting it didn't fit a few times I thought a refund would have been the next move. Fair enough, I'll ship it back for a refund then.

I've shown it to a couple of Ducati aficionados and they both concur that it's for a 749, 999. The only way to get it to fit a single sided swinger is to melt it down and start again.

Well I'm glad that's sorted out - nice one Tinkler. Apologies for my post above, feel free to put a slap in the post for me :D

Now as for you Felix ... there's a slap in the post for you! But don't worry, Royal Mail will lose it like they lost my undersuit ... grrrr

[Tinkler]

No problems if you say its for a 749 999 and it wont fit then ill give you a refund no problems, just glad we got things sorted out and were both happy with the out cum
thanks
Jamie :cool:
