Hi, I recently got a 06 999s that I'm pulling down and cleaning up. I took the instrument cluster off and notice the manufacture date of it is 9/10/03. Is it possible the production of the cluster and bike are two years apart ? I would not be surprised if it wasn't the original cluster but the condition of the bike and mileage would appear to be on par ! Cheers scott
What are the dates on the fairing panels, the air-box, the air tubes etc? All will have year and month dates on them. It would be surprising if the clocks were original if 2 years out from the build date - but not impossible with Ducati.
Well air box, fairings, headlight housing, air tubes all have late 05 stampings on them. The bike was dropped at some stage so I know some fairings were replaced. It just seems strange the headlight housing corresponds date wise and not the cluster. I say that only assuming that when bike was dropped cluster was damaged but not headlight housing. I guess it's possible it just popped out though !! Anyway it's no real concern to me it was just curiosity !
