Howdy!

I have a 600ss here in the States and I am looking for the factory 2:1 headers (downpipes and collector).  Unfortunately, Ducati never sold the 600ss in the US, so I am the only one and can't find any.

If any of you good souls know of and are willing to arrange purchase and shipping, I would be eternally grateful and happy to return the favor in any way I can..  (morals limiting thou!   [evil] )

Thanks!!

"Yelling out of cars, turning your speakers out the window to blast your music onto the street, setting off M-80 firecrackers, firing automatic weapons into the airâ€"these are all well and good. But none of them create a merry atmosphere of insouciance and bonhomie quite like a revving motorcycle.

Howdy back to you!

Try this wrecker in Sydney they import and export.

http://www.motorcyclewreckers.com/bikes/index.php

Or try Liverpool bike wreckers located in Penrith NSW.

If no luck let us know and I will look around.

Only other option would be to buy a set on Ebay.

I've looked on ebay for ages now and every 600ss that pops up has a 750ss kit installed.  I'll ring the wreckers you listed and see what I get.  I appreciate the links...

i dont care if you have been a mechanic for 10 years doing something for a long time does not make you good at it, take my gf for an example shes been walking for 28 years and still manages to fall over all the time.

yeah, i bookmarked them but i perused them and you're right.. i saw the asking price of AU$350 for bosch sparkers (common on bevels and pantahs).. those go for US$40 on ebay.  and that price was for a trade-in!  ouch

fwiw , many years ago when NFI had a clearout sale i picked up a DP full system with carbon can for $300 which i offloaded to a mate at the time

IIRC it fitted also 400cc as well , this may help with your search

I think I might know your mate. He tells a similar story of how he got the exhaust on his 600ss. Nice bike. He loaned it to me for a few months before I got my monster.

Gowanlach doesn't have them.

If its on the web, I've probably found it unless its a local wrecker. 

I'm hoping you folks have good swap meets and someone is willing to pick it up and ship it.

Spareshack has the silencers, I just need the header...

yes, all over Europe.

i've found a few things but the German sellers seem to want 3-4x for items and postage is phenomenally expensive for some reason -- cheaper to ship from Australia !!!  but if i find something i will let you know, thanks so much
