Pattern Parts
 

Where is the best Place for Non OE Ducati Parts. Just need some rear wheel bearings but refuse to pay £198 for OE ones

Go to the yellow pages, and look up bearing stockists.
Usually very well priced and of equal quality if not better.

£198! Wow!!
Definately a local bearing co.
I got front/rear wheel bearings and swingarm bearings for my hon...hon...(you know the rest)... from a local guy for circa £25.
And yes they were damn good quality!

Hang on Mr C, you're close to me aren't you? It was somewhere in Burfields Industrial Estate but I can't remember off hand. I'm down that way tomorrow, I'll try find out the name of the place - and if it's still there!

Or.... M&P sell them for a fiver a side.

where are you? if lancashire way then there a place called swan bearings in preston area.

BSL BEARING SERVICES LTD !!! next day delivery to your door !!!

Last time I bought some genuine Ducati wheel bearings (about 18 months ago), they were £7.02 + VAT each.


Hardly worth bothering with pattern ones, I'd say.



[edit] That was front wheel bearings. I don't know for sure whether the rear ones are the same, but can't believe they'd be much different. You could check on the parts lists on the Ducati website, anyway.

I have heard of Swan Bearings and im pretty sure where they are. Where abouts are you NBs996 ? Im in Chorley.

Also for everyones info on the rear wheel there is a large Needle Roller bearing and 2 ball bearing type ones I was quoted £61+Vat for the Needle and £34+Vat each for the other 2.
When it was MOT'd last week he just said there was a touch of Play in the rear wheel.
Think i'll whip them out on a wet weekend and get Swan to match them for me.

Sorry chap, I thought you were on the south coast!

(The bearings for £7ish are for the front.)

No, it's Mr_S on the south coast. Didn't realise you were so near.

Burfields Industrial Estate, charming part of Copnor that is.

I think for 748/9** rear wheel bearings Ducati only sell the whole eccentric hub, hence the fat price.

These guys seem reasonable:

probably why i couldn't find a part number!
but why is it that they sell a tool for getting the bearings out of the hub??

BSL have offices all over the country, more specifically for you Preston & Manchester.

The Manchester depot is all of 100 yards from my office if i can help.

BSL stands for Bearing Services Ltd. and they pretty good to deal with.

Cheers Mate. I'm sure i wont be paying £198 after all

Wyko or BSL buy at the best terms for SKF bearings (which your duke uses).....Wyko are a good bet..both have a national branch network..

Good luck..!
