Hmmm, ignoring the bodges-difficult I know-what about the fact that it is registered 2005-but is a 900SS?
Ducati changed to the 1000SS in 2003-so this must have been new old stock-in the showroom for 2 years before it was sold??

Having recently snapped a front brake lever off in the south of france, iI can honestly say you do try everything to get the bleedin thing back on.

I ended up riding with no front brake for 1000 miles. It was safer than my "botch" applying the brake itself as I rode along.

That said, if I was selling my bike when I got back I would go down Antonye's route of a £16 pattern lever to make it look right.

Hmm ... maybe I should get round to fitting the race flip-up brake lever to the 748 before the next big trip!!
