Turns out that the Marvic's the previous owner fitted to my bike are wider than oem and should take a 180. The BT016's are very nice tires. Quick to warm up and surprisingly low wear so far.</p> <p>new here for $133. <a href="http://www.motosport.com/motorcycle/product/BRIDGESTONE-BATTLAX-BT016-REAR-TIRE-17060ZR17/?catalogId=111106" rel="nofollow">http://www.motosport.com/motorcycle/product/BRIDGESTONE-BATTLAX-BT016-REAR-TIRE-17060ZR17/?catalogId=111106</a></p> <p>I'll deliver it within the US for $100.

Thanks for the prompt response! Yes please let me know! Thanks<br /> BY the way, forgot to endorse David s craftmanship: I got the last bracket in that first batch: it took him about 3 months to send it cause he had other more important things going and I wanted it engraved and anodized, but I have nothing but praise for the guy...as for the rest of the lost items, I bought two new blinkers from Ducati which were reasonably priced...but I am still missing that other bit!For those that weren t as misfortunate as us one word of advice: the original X bracket sucks, yes, but I believe what makes it brake even quicker is that heavy black metal piece with reflectors on its side that attaches to the aluminum bit! </p> http://www.mh900e.org/parlare/topic.php?id=308#post-1529 Sun, 11 Jul 2010 21:50:31 +0000 sreichman 1529@http://www.mh900e.org/parlare/ <p><a href="http://www.carconnectionsusa.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.carconnectionsusa.com/</a></p> <p>this is the complete address </p> http://www.mh900e.org/parlare/topic.php?id=308#post-1528 Sun, 11 Jul 2010 21:47:13 +0000 sreichman 1528@http://www.mh900e.org/parlare/ <p>see carconnectionsusa.com or email me at <a href="mailto:steven.reichman@verizon.net">steven.reichman@verizon.net</a> </p> http://www.mh900e.org/parlare/topic.php?id=262#post-1527 Sat, 10 Jul 2010 22:30:16 +0000 Cloner 1527@http://www.mh900e.org/parlare/ <p>As you said, the piece is still available from Ducati, though it is expensive. If there's any interest, I could investigate having a batch cut by laser from 3000 series aluminum (bendable) as we have the equipment to bend sheet metal at our shop. I could figure up an approximate price, anyway.</p> <p>Give me a few days. I happen to have a brand new one of these lying around, as I experienced the same failure you did. </p> http://www.mh900e.org/parlare/topic.php?id=262#post-1526 Sat, 10 Jul 2010 13:54:30 +0000 Clodo Luque 1526@http://www.mh900e.org/parlare/ <p>Perhaps David could also make the number plate holding piece that attaches onto the bracket, cause when your bracket brakes, and it usually does while you re on the road and hammering, the whole number plate assembly, including the blinkers, fly off into the sunset. That s how I lost mine, anyway. Admitetedly it s not a beautiful piece like the x bracket and you can still order it at Ducati, but its pricy to say the least.The whole number plate assembly costs a fortune(just over the 1K mark, I think)...perhaps it would be too much to ask David for such a shity piece...any unfortunate ones like me outh there? Any ideas? </p> http://www.mh900e.org/parlare/topic.php?id=308#post-1525 Sat, 10 Jul 2010 06:18:32 +0000 Buy Dog Treats 1525@http://www.mh900e.org/parlare/ <p>Can you have any image of your MHe 1891 what is the condition of its engine and how much it has been used. there are no picture found which the link you have posted here. </p> http://www.mh900e.org/parlare/topic.php?id=302#post-1524 Sat, 10 Jul 2010 06:14:28 +0000 Buy Dog Treats 1524@http://www.mh900e.org/parlare/ <p>On which price you have bought these t-shirts.

Photobucket or a number of other sites will give you a limited amount of space at no charge.

" /&gt;</p> <p>It should read like:</p> <p>img/ src="http:/www.yourpicture.com/name.jpg" /&gt;, except I've removed the &lt; that is the first character of the line (if I type it the site will try to post a picture that doesn't exist and you'll see a box with an "X" in it. </p> http://www.mh900e.org/parlare/topic.php?id=290#post-1521 Thu, 08 Jul 2010 03:09:40 +0000 johnnycool 1521@http://www.mh900e.org/parlare/ <p>I am not smart enough to know how to do it, but the pictures are great!!

I wonder how many of you would be interested in such a registry and, if you're interested, what you'd like to see in such a document.</p> <p>Things that come to my mind are:<br /> Current owner<br /> Past owners<br /> Current location<br /> Past locations<br /> Current running status (ridden daily, ridden occasionally, sitting in the living room, racing!, wrecked and salvaged)<br /> Current appearance status(stock, Carbon Dream body, custom paint, other mods, etc.)</p> <p>Your thoughts are greatly appreciated.</p> <p>If there is significant interest in this endeavor I'll start another thread asking for information from owners to begin filling in the blanks. Heck, I might even be able to do a quick, semi-standardized web page with a picture and short blurb for each bike/owner for those interested in such a thing.</p> <p>Fire away! </p> http://www.mh900e.org/parlare/topic.php?id=315#post-1515 Tue, 06 Jul 2010 03:10:22 +0000 Cloner 1515@http://www.mh900e.org/parlare/ <p>I've always had my best results ordering through a dealer, but your results may vary.</p> <p>As to a registry, there has never been one on THIS site. I suspect it was part of John's old site. For the record, John's site died along with his hard drive a couple of years ago and Brian DeGroodt started this site on the same domain name, with John's help and consent, as a way to keep the community together. All of the data on the old site was lost.</p> <p>As the site's current administrator I'd be happy to start a registry for this site, but it'd have to be separate from the forums and the blog. I'd probably just create a /registry page for that information. If there's any sincere interest in such a registry I could start a thread asking for data from owners and I could then transcribe the information gained there to a web page hosted on this domain. </p> <p>What would you like to see in such a registry? Current owner? Past owners? Status (original.....Carbon Dream body.....salvaged.....racing!....sitting on a coffee table.....ridden.....etc.)? Location?</p> <p>I'm happy to do just about anything the group is interested in. Your thoughts are greatly appreciated.</p> <p>Cloner<br /> Most recent administrator of MH900e.org </p> http://www.mh900e.org/parlare/topic.php?id=315#post-1514 Mon, 05 Jul 2010 20:12:44 +0000 Aussie1776 1514@http://www.mh900e.org/parlare/ <p>Thanks for your help. </p> <p>I've got the manual - so I'll try and work out the required parts.<br /> Do you know the best way to buy parts from Ducati? Over the web or via a dealer?</p> <p>Any idea what happened to the original database of owners that was published on this site?</p> <p>Cheers from downunder. </p> http://www.mh900e.org/parlare/topic.php?id=262#post-1513 Sun, 04 Jul 2010 14:38:09 +0000 Cloner 1513@http://www.mh900e.org/parlare/ <p>Aussie (and all future readers),</p> <p>Just contact David Prucell at <a href="mailto:dpurcell@evolution-machining.com">dpurcell@evolution-machining.com</a> for pricing and availability. He's the man with the plan! </p> http://www.mh900e.org/parlare/topic.php?id=315#post-1512 Sun, 04 Jul 2010 14:36:37 +0000 Cloner 1512@http://www.mh900e.org/parlare/ <p>Greetings, 1776. How appropriate (for us Americans) that you'd post up on the 4th of July. July 4, 1776 is the day the US declared independence from Great Britain.</p> <p>Anyway.....I'm pretty sure all of the license plate holder parts are still available from Ducati except for the "x-bracket" that bolts to the muffler assembly and holds the rest of the parts. However, David Purcell, a list member in Salt Lake City, Utah, USA makes a machined version of that part that looks every bit as good as the original. You can find reference to David, including contact information, in another thread on this forum. Just search for "x-bracket". I know this because mine disappeared on a cross country trip....but that's another story.</p> <p>The tool kit should, likewise, be available from Ducati, complete with Owner's Manual.</p> <p>The exhaust might be a problem. Keep posting here and look out on ebay until you find one. Several owners use aftermarket exhausts, but keep the originals for the sake of sellability. However, an MH is occasionally wadded (blasphemy!), so you might eventually find one being salvaged if you're patient.</p> <p>Good luck, and keep us posted. </p> http://www.mh900e.org/parlare/topic.php?id=315#post-1511 Sun, 04 Jul 2010 06:22:21 +0000 Aussie1776 1511@http://www.mh900e.org/parlare/ <p>#1776 has been out and about in Sydney, Australia recently. </p> <p>I'm looking to return the bike back to original condition and need:<br /> - exhaust<br /> - number plate holder inc indicators<br /> - tool kit</p> <p>Let me know if you have any suggestions. </p> <p>Also, what happened to the owners list that used to be published on this site? </p> http://www.mh900e.org/parlare/topic.php?id=262#post-1510 Sun, 04 Jul 2010 06:17:18 +0000 Aussie1776 1510@http://www.mh900e.org/parlare/ <p>I'm interested in one. </p> http://www.mh900e.org/parlare/topic.php?id=279#post-1509 Fri, 02 Jul 2010 23:50:11 +0000 Cloner 1509@http://www.mh900e.org/parlare/ <p>It's been a little while, but I've updated the blog.

I rode a 1098S with Zard exhaust and a Ventura rack and bag.</p> <p>The first part of the week we rode all over Northern Italy including Mugello for the Moto GP, tons of wine, grappa and twisty roads (but not in that order)Wednesday we headed to Rimini where we stayed overlooking the Adratic Sea during the 4 days of WDW. Downtown was a huge Ducati party Friday and Saturday. To me it was one of the best parts of the trip. I am told there were 60,000 bikes there</p> <p>A bientot </p>
