for those that know, what was the ohlins mounted on if they (late 748r's) left the factory with one? https://ducatiparts-online.com/ducati-ohlins-steering-damper-748-916-996-998-1098-1198-sd-031.html is it the above and if so, what brand is it? im not sure if ohlins made the mount or if they did and it was fitted at factory, pls let me know where i can get one
That's like the mount on mine. Not sure who made it, I would assume Ohlins? Mine came with it, maybe try an Ohlins dealer. When I bought some Ohlins forks, Harris Performance had the (larger) Ohlins bottom yokes in stock so maybe you could get lucky with a damper mount though I'm not sure Harris are still around?
To add, Harris appear to still be around and list a mount for 748/916/996/998 for £40 on their website though it is a 'Harris' mount rather than the OEM Ohlins and a little different, I assume it fits/works though. https://www.harris-performance.com/product/damper-fitting-kit-ducati/
Maybe there were variations? but then mine wasn't fitted to the bike when it was made, I bought the damper with mount aftermarket and so assumed it was original but don't know for sure. Fits and works fine though.
I certainly wouldn’t sweat over a mount. Probably whatever they had lying around at the time got fitted.
