New listing: Ducati 900SS ST2 ST4 M900 916 749 999 1098 1198 crankcase case saver stainless | eBay :smile:
Hi Matt! Yes, undoubtedly... if yourself or someone with an 848 can get their bike to me for an hour or two so I can measure it up and make a template then they will get a FREE case-saver! We are in Trowbridge, Wiltshire, BA14. Have you got a photo of the sprocket cavity please? Cheers, Darren :smile:
Will get the photo for you. I'm only over in Amesbury so will try and get over before I go away again. Matt
Won mine the other day and fitted it today - needed a teeny bit of fettling and bending to get in there properly with enough clearance to satisfy my perfectionist eyeballs - but very happy with it - thumbs up from here!
Cheers Darren, got it in the post today, looks a very well made bit of kit, and very well packaged, will get it fitted as soon as my bike is back in the garage, cheers again Graham
No problem! :biggrin: I have another two spare in the garage if anybody else would like one? My esteemed friend and colleague Steve B tested his a few days back when his 888 chain snapped - no damage!
**FILTH ALERT** Just bought a rather expensive piece of 2mm titanium plate, EXACTLY the same stuff they use in Army & Police bullet-proof vests... Stronger than steel, with the weight of aluminium, I will of course be making a few very posh, very light case-savers from it, strictly a limited-edition run, fIrst come, first served... :biggrin:

Hiya! The savers I am currently selling will fit the 1098/1198 and all other dry clutch Doocats no problem, all the same cases? Matt has taken some photos of his 848 sprocket cavity for me- which shows an identical wet clutch case arrangement for the 848 cases??/ Without having one in front of me to check I am 99.98% certain the 848 cases will take a dry clutch saver? Will post pics asap
848 cavity (wet clutch): SS cavity (dry clutch) Mark 1 saver, can't find a pic of the bare cavity at the mo? Very similar, never the less?
Wikipedia: A metallic element, titanium is recognized for its high strength-to-weight ratio. Commercial (99.2% pure) grades of titanium have ultimate tensile strength of about 63,000 psi (434 MPa), equal to that of common, low-grade steel alloys, but are 45% lighter. The most noted chemical property of titanium is its excellent resistance to corrosion; it is almost as resistant as platinum, capable of withstanding attack by dilute sulfuric acid and hydrochloric acid as well as chlorine gas, chloride solutions, and most organic acids. Titanium was discovered included in a mineral in Cornwall, Great Britain, in 1791 by the clergyman and amateur geologist William Gregor, then vicar of Creedparish. In the 1950s and 1960s the Soviet Union pioneered the use of titanium in military and submarine applications (Alfa Class and Mike Class)[SUP][32][/SUP] as part of programs related to the Cold War.[SUP][33][/SUP] Starting in the early 1950s, titanium began to be used extensively for military aviation purposes, particularly in high-performance jets, starting with aircraft such as the F100 Super Sabre and Lockheed A-12. Quite looking forward to this... Will also have a play with heat-colouring them in rainbow/iridium styles?
