That's a mighty fine offer, especially when you consider his location...

Fiscus,
Japan ain't so far.....our world has really shrunk. Just wish postal rates had shrunk as well.
888, advice taken and thanks for the off on the spanner! Will have to pass on that but 28000 km on the bearings has probably taken its toll so I will do a renewal i guess.

It may seem a strange offer but my wife works in a Model shop (no not that type shes tooo ugly) and they send out stuff world wide.:P

[Mad Dog Bianchi]

Sounds good. maybe I will let you know when I will attempt this matter. Also, does a full bearing change require ducati or generic bearings?? Anyone know?
BTW, your wife can't be too ugly....anyone with the sense to buy an 888 must have good taste in women!

You can get generic ones to fit from a bearing factor. The problem you may run into is knowing which ones to get. The best solution would be to take the old bearings in and get the guy behind the counter to match them.

Hi Mad Dog
First of all when I said my Wife worked in a Model shop she said you cant put that theyll think I work in Ann Summers or something (i wish) so i'll just put your too ugly for that then.
anyway back to bearings ive just bought some so i'll send you (U2U) the code numbers as they are standard bearings from SKF, which Ducati buy in and rebox.
