For the academic interest of other Ducati enthusiasts, there are listed below a number of non-standard parts which have been suggested as alternatives to the genuine Ducati parts which be scarce or expensive.
Some information is only hearsay.
The important point to note is that the suggestions have not been approved by anyone, certainly not the Ducati Factory who would presumably prohibit such fitment. If anyone decides to use non-standard components on their own bike it must of course be entirely at their own risk in view of the lack of guarantees or assurances. If necessary, seek the guidance of a qualified motorcycle engineer regarding the changes you are considering. The mentioning of any suppliers or manufacturers on this site cannot be interpreted as an endorsement. The compilers, publishers and contributors to the list only make available this information on the strict understanding that the readers fully understand and accept the above terms.
