Hello everyone I am calling on the wise men of this forum, as I need some information. I am looking for a heel guard kit for the footpegs of my 996 sps. Below are photos of 2 models, the first one can be easily found, but the second model, I am not able to locate, does anyone know anything about this? 1 model 2 model Thanks, best regards.
The first set is the set that I have in my own bikes along with the 998 style exhaust protector. The second set I have never seen before and they must be either a cut down set or a non original Ducati part. The first set was available via Ducati and other manufacturers quite some time ago.
I think the final photo is my old 996. The middle photo is a different bike but has the same heel plate as “mine”. The upper photo looks like the heat shield has been cut down a bit. This thread might help - I have not re read it. https://www.ducatiforum.co.uk/threads/poggipolini-ducati-performance-rear-sets.78611/
The heat shield is from a 998 as I have exactly the same setup on my 998. The originals were coated stainless steel. Here's my other bike with the same setup as my 998 although this is a 748S frame with a 748R engine fitted.
The original heat shield on the SPS is longer and would need the wiggly heel plate. I have a set of 998 cans on mine so I have the straight one. I do have the original termis and std cans but the strap that joins the cans at the rear is broken and I have not got round to replacing it and they will probably need repacking at the same time.
Hello again After some research, I have located the heel guards I was looking for. Yes, it is an original Ducati part (ref. 96938202B). Thanks to all.
I see now that these were not meant for the road-going bikes but for the 748/996RS models which explains why I had not seen them before and it looks like they are meant to be used with the racing foldup ergal rearsets.
