Magnesium clutch housing?

[Onebadscot]

First I did a search of this forum and ebay, and google for hours! Mine is crack "oem" and my Ducati shop said $700 for a new one. The mech pulled me to the side and said I should be able to get one "magnesium" for the same or a little more. I found one but its out of the states. Does anyone know of any vendor selling this part in the US?

Thanks for any help.

Ps At this point I'd buy a used stock one off a wrecked bike too. It's a 2010 if that makes any diff?

post in the for sale/wanted section, lots of people here have moved to open clutch covers so there are stock ones lying around.

that being said... you could also just pick up a open clutch cover and pressure plate for about 400ish new... even cheaper if you find a deal on a used one.

I have a feeling he is not talking about the clutch cover but rather then of the complete right case cover.

I have purchased the magnesium engine cover (just like on the image Shift-Tech posted) from Italian Ebay for around 400 dollars. Two months as the payment was made I still didn't get the cover. The seller insists it was mailed. But I have never received it. It is a second time I've got screwed from buying out of States.

Thats the part. Odd that the shop told me after market? Thanks for saving me some time.

This is why I was looking for a vendor in the US.

Bump.

Still looking for this part. I do not want to pay labor twice as I will be upgrading to a slipper at the same time. Just looked online again for hours and still only seeing an overseas vendor for this part!

I have researched this subject too. And from what I've "learned" there are no resellers in US stocking the magnesium clutch side engine covers. But there are a few NCR distributors around (like ProItalia for example) that could arrange NCR magnesium engine cover for you. But as everything else manufactured by NCR it is a costly part.

Many of these parts are interchangeable between Ducati models. Would any of these work for you?:

2011 Ducati Hypermotard EVO 1100 Right Engine Case Cover Clutch Side Motor Part | eBay

1999 900 ducati monster right side case cover clutch | eBay

Ducati 1198 1198S StreetFighter Black Engine Motor Dry Clutch Right Side Cover | eBay

Search "Ducati right side engine" and 16 choices come up - some specifically for the Sf, and many under $100.
