Anyone know where I can get Front and Rear Axle nut for 899 Pre drilled for Safety wire?

Recently had my kids' 748 SPS serviced by a local independent Ducati specialist in Auckland New Zealand. Part of the agreed service was to replace the in-tank fuel filter. On removing the tank base, the tech found that the breather hoses were not in great shape and needed to be replaced - as he...

Besides just buying bolts pre-drilled anyone drill their own? Is it worth it? Any recommendations on brand of drill fixture & bits? Thanks

Fellow Members- Well, by now those of yoo's guys who go out Club Racing have either put in some laps already or prepping for the first race of the season. God I miss it guys! Spent over 6-7 yrs doing that stuff and unfortunately now, I'm too broken myself. I'd never say "Too Old" because Im...

A couple of guys on this great forum showed some interest on the topic "safety wiring". So I thought let's start a new thread about this. First some basic rules: Do not kink, nick or mutilate the wire. Use some high quality INOX bright drawn steel (sorry, in german it's called "blank gezogen"...

Does anyone have a good RECENT source for pre-drilled bolts for our bikes, so I can safety wire my bike? I HATE drilling bolts for safety wiring and if I can buy them ready to go, I would prefer it. Cheers.

Drilling front axle nut for safety wire Haven't found a drill guide that could accept a nut as large as necessary, and no one seems to be producing an axle nut that is already drilled. Aside from just freehanding it, anybody have better leads/ ideas for me? Thanks B

Wired mine this past weekend at Chuckwalla...just ran the wire to the plastic molding 2 inches from the plug. Is there a better anchor? Any pics? Also, to wire the caliper bolts...are you using aftermarket bolts instead of the round-headed stock ones?

Vacationing in Southampton and trying to convince my wife to end our vacation early so I can join Rockwell Cycle on Sunday at New York Safety Track in upstate NY. Who of you are going to be there?

Hi everyone. I have a base Pani with the Marzocchi Forks. I want to safety wire the front axle pinch bolts but the bolt heads are recessed into and flush with the fork bottom. Are there M6x25mm bolts that have a 10mm tall head so they will stick out and I can drill and safety wire them? Any...

Just got the bike back from my dealer for the factory "safety recall" where they replace a washer on the steering damper (can fall off), put an acorn nut on the front brake reservoir mount to stop hose chafing, and check the torque on one of the swingarm pivots (they were overtightened on early...

Im from the old school and I currently use safety wire on all of my grips, but I am thinking of not using it on the new grips i just bought (Pro Grips). The Bike just looks so clean to have safety wire on the grips. I just wanted to get an opinion from the forum if you use safety wire the...

The following stats are off the top of my head, but I did recently research each. On average, motorcyclist deaths occur about 35X more (per mile ridden) than do automobile motorist deaths. 1. # involving alcohol: about 50% 2. # involving a single vehicle (that is, losing control): about 50% 3...

Aloha everyone, I finally took my bike in for the ECU flash so while I was there I wanted to discuss a few issues noted on the forum. My local Ducati dealer here on the island appeared to be completely unaware of any recalls outside of the safety recall. I kindly pointed out my melting LWR...

Mine did on the rear sprocket flange bolts. I guess I did get a little bit extra for the $341.48.:rolleyes:
