hiya Guys

Bit of a strange one this.

After my recent off, a part on my 2002 S4 needs to be replaced.
Tis a strange part, that after an hour in Ducati Bristol, I couldn't find on any diagram, much to the frustration of my local Ducati shop man.

So I thought I'd ask you lovely people if you know of this part, or if I am taking too many magic mushrooms in my tea again.

Its a part on the handlebars that rises the mirrors up by about an inch.
It screws into the normal screw hole that the mirrors go into (gold clamp on handlebars), and it has another screw in bit on the end for the mirrors to screw into this instead. If that makes sense. Wish I could draw a diagram.

Basically, its a bolt, that screw into the handlebars, with a hole in the end for the mirrors to screw into, raising the mirror height a bit.

Any ideas what part number this is, or what diagram on the ducati site its on?

Cheers guys.
Phew!

I think I know which bit you mean...

I'll take a picture of it and see if we are on the same wave length, or at least taking the same amount of magic mushrooms :thumbsup:

Hmmm

Close. Very close.
The one I have is gold though, and longer and thinner.

I drew a picture for you attached, failing that, I'll get a picture of the busted one on wednesday.

Is it this hex shaped thing in the picture - 2002 s4 manual ?

Looks like its in the right area, but I can't see the picture too well. A bit small, and when I zoom in it goes all fuzzy...

I think it's a thread adapter but I can't see such a thing fitted as standard on a Ducati. You usually get them with aftermarkets mirrors, that would explain why you can't find any reference to it in the Ducati spare parts catalog.

as on prev post they are thread adapters as they have left and right handed threads. as far as im aware they come complete with mirror as i can rember when i had to order one a few years back mirrors around 30ish quid,
may of changed a bit by now thougth.:scratch:
