  3. I see a few advertised as monos, some even with authentication letters from ducati with foot peg lugs. Is it possible they just grabbed biposta subframes from 'parts bin' ?
     
  4. Monoposta subframes on pre 2001 bikes had a reputation for being fragile resulting in a strengthening modification to the Ohlins 748R and subsequent monoposta bikes. The Biposta subframe is significantly cheaper than a monoposta so a reasonable assumption it’s a later replacement. Ducati did some pretty odd bin parts substitutions through the ‘90s so I although I think it is unlikely, I couldn’t confidently rule it out. Andy

  5. Ok, at the risk of looking stupid, which I don't mind mind because I learn something, here is a stock image of the monoposto with the Ebay item. What am I missing with the the sub-frame?

  6. The lug just under rear seat cowl & you can see it's made from different (alloy ?) metal

  7. So could a buyer find out in this case via Ducati whether this was a factory mod?
     
  8. The lug you see is one of two each side for the rear passenger footpeg hangers. Something the Monoposta shouldn’t have. Andy
     
  9. But the 996R more so than the 998R due to historical importance o_O:upyeah:
     
  10. Were you rubbish at spot the difference :thinkingface:
     
  11. They will only confirm if it's a genuine mono an the model. You are better talking to original owners in Aus to see if they were supplied like that for your market, but I guess they shouldn't have been :thinkingface:
     
  12. Yes on the 996R:upyeah:,but everybody wants the bloody 998r:rolleyes:
     
  13. Nah, they are wrong and they know it :)
