| I'll start...Nope....and Bimota never bothered to fit on the DB5's....and from experience not needed.....on the DB6 they fitted one to the DB6R model...and from experience that is needed...and kits are available to retro fit on the Db6....but they are specific to the DB6 and not the Db5 |

| Yeh....the Db5 with its fairing and my choice of tyres is fine up to 125 and so on without any issues and little to no sidewind issues either....the DB6 though can wander at 60, 70, 80 etc and having an adjustable on the go damper on the bars helps with that one...another fellow on here with a Db10...certainly streetfighter style bike and unfaired...managed to retro fit a rotary damper on the headstock....so doing so on yours should be capable... |

I saw a db10 on Friday @ ben's spot 😍😍😍😍 I see Ducati Manchester have one cheap? I love that style of bike, I'll get a steering damper & some brackets made to suit if there's nothing on the market, I managed to get a full lock set for £45 just awaiting its arrival, thanks for the advice again Steve.

What on earth is Bens Spot???...or moreover where? The Db10 owner isnt far from me so could have been him.....Duc MCr have one going cheap??? Their over associated Dealer DMC Preston used to have one going cheapish...and thats the one that the fellow bought...dont think they have another for sale though??...
Willing to share with us where you got such a cheap lock set from? Always nice to know where good prices of spare parts come from... |

Sorry Ben @ amore moto, I saw the the db10 on the Internet for 11k with a big chunk of cash slashed off the price, Ben wants 20k for his, the lock set was on eBay off a Ducati, the fuel cap is the same when stripped down, the plug on the ignition is not the same but 6 wires so will make fit.
