rod ends

[scrapps]

Does anybody know where i could get the rod ends for the hight adjust rod on a 900ie that are not the mad price i was given by a Ducati dealer.
Or the part number/sizes so i could try to source.

Does yours have a tie-rod or hoop suspension linkage? 900ie was made right on the switchover.

Mine is the tie rod type same as S4 it has a ally link rod.
quoted £68.00 each for rod ends :eyepopping:

Marksman bearings.

you should be able to walk into almost any motor/bearing factor and pcik some up. Remember one has a reverse thread though.

What's wrong with yours? They don't really wear. Try rotating the little antlers and put some oil down there and work it in. I used a lithium grease but i guess engine oil would work ok.

Aurora are a good manufacturer to look for.

Mine were not worn but jammed on the hight adjusting rod. tried to undo them but stuck solid
if i do want them out i would damage them doing so.
I have not adjusted the bike but will do when i get time to sort it and replace the ends.
