| Had the same problem when I had a Diablo 180/55 put on though it was replacing the same sized tyre, though a Dunlop. Dealer said it was because the hugger wasn't a Ducati item, but when I replaced the shagged out hugger with a DP one it was still rubbing. I made a carbon strip which pushed the hugger 1/2 inch up at the rear where it fixes at the swingarm, problem solved.
Saw somehere that someone had used a chain link-plate as the spacer bracket. Quite clever and shows the hugger doesn't need to be moved much to solve the problem. |
