Its defo a standard Ducati Item. 916 did have mechanical clocks with drive cable, same clocks as a Db4 (Although the tacho went to electronic with no drive cable), also same as 750SSie and 900SSie, so 2001 onwards, same also as 748, 996, and 998. Don't go beyond that though as the triple clocks on Ducatis became electronic, Ducati 851/888 different clocks but same connections. Its the Monster though that had twin parrallel clocks that have a larger ferruled end on the speedo size that won't fit. When I'm home tonight I'll have a look if theres a number, but prior to that I'll pop into Duc Mcr to see what they say. You can call them yourselves, phone and ask for Mark in spares dept, as he's the most helpful, he'll even let you know if they have a spare in stock and how much (He's used to being asked questions about Ducati related questions for Bimotas), as they are often cheaper than second hand ebay muck. Example, a standard speedo drive cable is 9.99 new from them, whereas some sharks on ebay charge up to 20 for 2nd hand

Oily, had a look at my ducks with similar speedo drive. The 996 and 998 have 25mm axles so to big and my 93 900ss is too small and the number stamped on that is 748209.
I seem to recall that some later ss and nonsters had 20mm axles fitted. Any good duck dealer should point you in the right direction.

Cheers for that Waggy, kinda reaffirms my suspicions, but nice to have another Duc guy on here that can help with picking of brains etc, espec since Ducatisti passed away, may need your assistance at some time

This one looks a little different, but it is very close.

Hi Oily, that one that Cbar has located is the same as for Ducati 900SS 1994 onwards, but not earlier as the bearing internal diameter is 17mm on the early Ducs. If yours is 20mm then fine, Ducati manchester have new ones in stock that are 20mm internal for a 900SS 1994 onwards that are 48.52 which includes the VAT. The number 750705 is on the body but that is merely the mould of the casing that is generic, and its the closed cell bearing that fits inside that varies dependant on your spindle size. Evidently there are other suppliers, and Duc Mcr will post out also. Hope it helps

Yep, that helps a lot Wink

Think I'll try second hand as it's only a speedo drive and I've got to buy a new camera Crying or Very sad

I knew you demented doochatee lovers would come in useful one day Laughing

Thanks again for your effort Wink

Oily, when it was all said and done, what model speedo drive did you get that worked. I need one for my Antera wheel also.
Thanks, Neil

900ss

the one that fits a 20mm spindle Wink

OR

I bored out a 17mm to 20mm too
worked a treat Wink

P.S.....
Got a spare one here but it'll probably be easier and cheaper to source one locally Wink

...Hardley..... Laughing

If it wasn't for the cheap, flimsy nature, we wouldn't have to keep sourcing new ones Laughing

At least the Mk1's used the original, well made Suzuki item Wink

Ha... no oily, there's no dark side in motorcycling (for me), i love all bikes althought i do have my preferences. I'd have many, many different makes and models in my shed if i could afford it.

Actually, i've never owned a Ducati (yet), closest i've ever got is the 904 two valver in my db4. Just trying to uphold the 'zen' of the forum. Laughing
