www.findnearby.net that will give you EVERY craigslist.

www.ronayers.com will give you the micro fische for the part numbers

www.sportwheel.com will give you the largest graveyard for motorcycles. They are located in Minnesota, and are usually pretty quick to get back to you Tues - Sat.



Don't do it, it won't work. Most epoxy won't hold a reservoir together, with the pressure and the composite of the tank you'll blow fluid after a wee bit of time. Ask me how I know....

uh huh. Well i already epoxy'd the hell out of it, it was the smallest little crack, how much pressure do those things build anyways? This expoxy i've used before, and its heavy duty stuff.

Im gonna run it tomorrow, but i'll keep a close eye on it. thx for the heads up and all the great info zoomy.

Gear doesn't look too bad, at least I know now that my leathers have been tested!

Well, my experience has come from a bike with that damn Italian *character*. I've blown up three coolant reservoirs - and when I ask about it with the elitest, and/or post on a Ducati specific forum they all just shrug as theirs have all done it too. They run hot, and have a seam in an odd place. It's been frustrating and the answer is to buy a new one. Yours could be different... fingers crossed for you

Anything else presenting an issue for you (other than cosmetic?)??

Had a buddy witht he same problem. Those things shit the bed WAY too much. Like multiple times in one season too much.

Glad you're ok. The bike looks ok.

Fuck looking online... buy a fuckin manual. Buy it, read it, live with it!

Repair what you can, modify some, and buy used on the rest.

nah, looking at the reservoir right now... and im on the fence. it'll at least make it to the salvage yard i plan on trecking to today.

Other than the cosmetics, the front right caliper and rotor need replaced. Not RIGHT AWAY, but before i do any serious riding.

Trip found me a guy w/ a bunch of parts, so i'll stick with the internet.
