Ive as good as almost bought one of two 1098s's here in Ireland. Moving up from 848. Ive had some memorable days in its year of ownership. Anyway, one of the 1098's (2008) is a bike from Ducati Manchester if you can believe it. Small world. The one Im prob going to buy is missing the original petrol cap. It has a quick release Corse cap. Thats all well and good, a bit of a tart, but he doesnt have the orig petrol cap to go with the bike So my question is this: can I get a petrol cap to match the original keys ? I DO NOT want a second key for the petrol cap, that's just gonna annoy me and turn off any potential owners in the future. OR, is it second key option my only solution ? All wisdom, smart comments welcome
Called a dealer you can buy an aftermarket cap with no barrell. So it means a second key, there is no way to obtain a replacement barrell that fits the bike or new petrol cap.
I bought a 999R from Ducati Manchester - it also had a race filler cap and no original, you would think these would stay with the bikes they belong to!
Cheers Exige... i was going to ring Ducati MAN, would they still have it.....worth a shot i reckon !! edit: called, not a hope, worth a go
