Here’s mine, I know, they’re filthy, the bike’s new to me and undergoing a refurb, they’ll be cleaned up. You can see the price the original owner paid back in 2002. Harwin Casoli was a London based Ducati specialist at that time - no longer around - as such, I presume they are genuine DP ones of the era
That is interesting. The gear shift mounts are different as Chris suggested. Mine closer: I changed the rubber on gear change for a less bulbous one.
My DP ones are like that as well. My Migliore ones are on the same shaft as the footpeg and I think most are like that, no doubt in a bid to make it possible to only produce one footpeg holder to fit both sides.
Your gearshift lever is mounted on the rearset, it appears to be a single bolt which secures the lever to the foot peg mount to the frame. Mine is mounted beneath and to the rear of the foot peg mount thus reducing the distance between footpeg and gear lever rubber. Perhaps explains why I found it so difficult to get my toe in to change up gear when I first rode it. I’ll be playing around with the positions anyhow.
The gear change bolt goes through into the lower mount hole and there is an alloy mushroom shaped spacer in there.
sorry for the lifting an old thread but i'm looking for a gear lever from the rearsets (migliore?) like that pictured in red998 post 16 anyone have any leads or a spare kicking around?
Thanks Ricky, unfort the gear lever on the TMZ and migliore are a different design if you look at the photo in red998 post
Interesting read. I have seen a Cagiva Racing 1994 rear set sold on ebay. My 95 916 Racing has a similar looking rear set and Cagiva stamped on the rubber. Slightly different to the pictures posted in this thread, but I think the origin was Cagiva Racing which then became DP in 1995 and onwards? Pictures from 1994-1995 shows Ducati Factory bikes had similar looking rear sets. Ebay - Cagiva Racing 1994 (note that the gear lever is attached to the rear set): Gear side of my 95 916 Racing: Ducati Corse Factory winter 1994: Chili #27 1995 bike: My 916 Racing is a PF Chili 95 wsbk bike, so "the mystery of the rear sets" is just one thing out of many, which I am trying to learn more about.
As you learn more do please update us. Cheers. EPJ Edit. I know just the man for this job if he has time and is interested. Our very own PI @LiveFast......
Another observation is that each foot peg on my bike is solid = 1 metal piece incl. the foot of the peg. Back in mid 90's this process would have demanded a rather large piece of metal to start out with. After rotational milling it would have to to go in a vertical milling machine to cut the foot shape? (milling "scars" suggests a 2 way process).
