Anyone know of a source for fairing Dzus fasteners in stainless or good chrome ? I'm using alloy ones from Buster's but find the slots in the male part get chewed by the teeth in the backplate. Once the fairings been on & off a few times they get decidedly ropey.
Looked at the ones on Ducati shed site but they're nickel which I always thought was a bit soft.

Robbie,

The fasteners that Kelvin at Ducati Shed sells are genuine Ducati OEM fasteners. FYI, they are nickel plated, not solid nickel.

If you want to spend a bit more (well a lot more actually!) Pro Bolt do them in Titanium @ £19.99 each!!!!!!!

There's a guy on eBay that sells nickel or black genuine Dzus - I bought some off him and they're pretty good...

I've used Carbon Trader before, I replaced the tatty Termi stickers on my cans with a new set from them.

And I just ordered a new set of fasteners, £28... Billy Bargain that is, although I don't actually need them.

Had a chat with Gary at Carbon Trader today when I ordered my Dzu fasteners. Told him all about DSC, its 600 hundred-odd members, advertising on the DSC website, our links to Ducati and various dealers/suppliers/traders (and also about the 10% discounts DSC members ought to be getting!). :lol:

If I've somehow blagged a discount in future for DSC members, do I get a DSC T-shirt as a reward?

:lol:
