Italian Day Horsham 2011, a set on Flickr.
Lots of bikes, cars, food and drink in Horsham, West Sussex this weekend.
Ducati’s (including mine) and Ferraris today. Lamborghini, Maserati, Zonda, Alfa, Fiat and others on Easter Monday !
Loads of Italian food stalls and other fun stuff going on all weekend – enjoy !
Been a real pain trying to source an aftermarket exhaust for my fuel injected Ducati 620 sport.
The bike model was never as popular as its Monster stablemate and it seems this has resulted in a limited supply of custom add-ons.
I had heard tales that the more popular 750ss and 900ss exhaust systems were compatible but after a bit more research it seems this is not true. A shame as there seems to be loads of components for these models both new and used through online auction sites.
What I have found is that the 800ss and 1000ss models ARE compatible with the 620ss – of course fuel injected models only. Not a great help though as these models are just as rare as the 620.
A useful source of information that helped me deduce these facts are the Ducati parts catalogues that are now freely downloadable from HERE
Youl notice that the Duacti part number for the 620 sport Right Hand silencer is 573.1.047.1B and the Left Hand silencer is 574.1.047.1B. These are exactly the same part numbers as for the 1000ss and 800ss.
Also worth noting that the American part numbers differ slightly from European – I can only assume that this is to meet the different emissions regulations in place between the two continents. Probably not safe to assume that EU and US parts are NOT interchangeable (legally).
If anyone has a set of used cans available, feel free to let me know through the blog.
2004 Ducati 620 sport.
Really good condition, only done around 5K dry miles.
You could race it too if you had the metal:
