Re: Steering damper bracket

Thanks Ming. The bracket I had in mind for my 3 1/2 Sport is significantly different, and from memory looks like these... Would you (or anyone else) have such an item? Have a good weekend! Tim

Re: clutch lever assembly: 350 Sport 1977

Thanks Ming. I did as you suggested, and was shocked. I guess I've been (fairly) lucky up to now with them.

Re: fuse box lid

Thanks " Morini_Tom ". However, almost £80 for a bit of plastic, that Mdina Italia were advertising, albeit used, for £6.54 inc. is a bit much. Unfortunately, helpful Doug at Mdina Italia hasn't been able to locate the actual part, if it exists at all (he's recently taken over the business...

Re: clutch lever assembly: 350 Sport 1977

Thanks Mickey. Inspired by your post, I successfully cleaned up, fettled and fitted the used item sent by Mdina Italia, and luckily the standard Venhill cable for a Morini Sport fits. I've yet to take it for a test ride... and touch up the paint! Nonetheless, I've noted Paddy as a potential future s...

Re: Sidestand-excessive lean angle 350 Sport 1977

Thanks Mickey. That's a good idea... I'll try mole grips once I get to that item on the list... In the meantime, I'll continue to just use the centre stand, which is so easy to use. Your comment and this experience has reinforced potential abuse of the stands! No doubt I've been naively guilty in th...

Re: Sidestand-excessive lean angle 350 Sport 1977

Thanks everyone! 70sbikes : yes, I was alerted to this possibility before, but until I read your message, didn't understand how it could happen. Thanks! Vitesse : thanks for taking the helpful measurement. Following your note, I looked more carefully, and unfortunately discovered the problem. It's a...

Re: clutch lever assembly: 350 Sport 1977

Thanks Mickey, especially for the most helpful photos. Yes, Ducati Paddy sells one, that appears slightly different to yours (yours has a wing-mirror boss): www.ducatipaddy.com/Levers#&gid=1&pid=1. A quick Google has shown there are many Domino lever variants: www.roadraceperformanceshropshi...

Re: fuse box lid

Thanks everyone! Simon : I've emailed you, as requested. Mickey : I also have half a one, broken across the mounting hole! Vitesse : I also have spaghetti under the side panel, but was envisaging a cold wet night, alone & next to my bike in the middle of nowhere, wishing I had taken some precaut...

clutch lever assembly: 350 Sport 1977

Hi: The clutch lever fitted to my newly acquired bike is non-standard, and its mounting fits between the electrical switchgear and the clip-on grip. Consequently, the switchgear is further away and difficult to use, and I’m unsure as to whether I’m getting the correct cable pull for the clutch. Can ...

Sidestand-excessive lean angle 350 Sport 1977

Hi: the sidestand for my recently acquired 350 Sport 1977 appears dimensionally standard (compared with original items for sale at eBay: www.ebay.co.uk/itm/274925243432?hash=item4002d24c28:g:Nu0AAOSwWoFhK2uE), and without any apparent damage or significant wear to it or the frame. However, the lean ...

wanted: clutch lever, mounting bracket and adjuster assembly

Does anyone have a clutch lever assembly for a 350 Sport 1977, ideally in black? The clutch lever fitted to my newly acquired bike is non-standard, and its mounting fits between the electrical switchgear and the clip-on grip. Consequently, the switchgear is further away and difficult to use, and I’m...

Re: Steering damper bracket

As this earlier message, does anyone have for sale a serviceable steering damper bracket for a 350 Sport 1977? I’m only looking for the bracket, or at least some dimensions to make my own. Also, I appreciate any recommendations for a new & compatible damper. Thanks, Tim

fuse box lid

Does anyone have a spare fuse box lid for a 350 Sport 1977, or at least recommendations for a substitute or workaround?

Currently the fuses are fully exposed. Tim
