How do you easily tell the difference between a 'wide case' Ducati single and a 'narrow case' Ducati singles??? It is easy, look at the engine mounting bolts..... This is the easiest way to spot the difference as they are different. John Collier filled us in with the following notes:
According to the parts books
* Wide case engine mount bolts are;
Rear 8 mm x 226 mm
Front 8 mm x 100 mm
* Narrow case engine mount bolts are;
Rear and Front 8 mm x 85 mm
I drilled mine out to 3/8 and used grade 1o bolts with nylock nuts. My bolts were longer as I also used thicker front plates and the top rear mount to secure a clutch cable anchor.
