Mille S2 Indicators

I have been through six indicators on my Mille. I have found two locally and the other four from Gowanlochs in Sydney. Short front, longer rear. They were all new and they all have that dried out plastic look - all broken. Any suggestions for a replacement set - alternatives?
I guess they do not ...

Crank Rebuild Squarecase Early 860/900 Pre Bosch

Hi there.
Have a '77 GTS that I am rebuilding. Can someone steer me in the direction of a crank re-builder. No obvious wear, but it is out of the engine and should be done.
Located in Arlington Va.

Re: Ducati GTS 5/77 Manufacture (engine number 854XXX)

Thanks Craig, I read that too. Mine starts 854XXX. The early SDs of 1977 have Ceriani and some say that Ducati would put whatever they had on their bikes.

Ducati GTS 5/77 Manufacture (engine number 854XXX)

Need some help. I picked up a GTS with a manufacture date of 5/77. It is plated as a 1978, but it is not a Bosch engine and has the external shift on the sprocket cover.

It is missing the triple trees, but has a pair of Ceriani forks (may not be original). Two questions:
1. Does anyone know whether ...

Re: Mille S2 Oil Filter

Thank you all.
So the filters I had were for the 900S2 dry clutch - hence the wrong year.
I have a spare filter for my MTS in the shed so that will go on this weekend.
I may get this Mille running in the coming week. Has been sleeping since 2000.

Re: Mille S2 Oil Filter

Thanks Steve, it is a 1985 Mille S2. I think mine has had the screw in the case changed to accept later filters. Investigating this weekend. I had a Mille filter and it has about a 17-18mm screw thread. The spigot on my engine is about 12mm and the filter I removed is taller than OEM one listed for ...

Mille S2 Oil Filter

Can anyone tell me the part number or source for Mille oil filters. I ordered some from the UK but the screw on thread is the wrong diameter.

WTB 1978 GTS900 Warning Light Panel #0799 38 212 and Bars

I have a 78 GTS900 and need some bars for it and the panel that is part of the top handlebar clamp that includes the 5 warning lights and the key. I have tried bevelheaven and desmo-ducati.de - no luck.

If anyone can point me in the right direction I would appreciate it.

1978 900GTS Warning Light Dash

Hi all,

I have a 78 900GTS that is missing the warning light panel - I think it is the one that comprises part of the handle bar clamp. Out of the ignition key/switch wiring harness I have the indidiual wires that look like they should go to each light.

I am hoping that someone can put me onto a ...
