Bimota accessories? - Ducati.ms

Newbie here, just picked up a 1999 DB4. I've seen bikes with after market fairing stays, exhausts and rear sets from Moto Corse, but their on-line catalog doesn't show anything for the DB4. Does anyone know if they still sell stuff for the DB4 or am I out of luck? Any good distributors for Moto Corse in the USA? Thanks!

I would think http://www.bimotaspirit.com/home.html would be your best bet, but I could be wrong.
If you can't find much, there are lots of Bimota parts and more, in Europe and Germany in particular.

Welcome to the club Soggy!

I've got a DB4 TriColore w/ Corse kit...there's a few others on this forum also.

Have fun!

Thanks for the welcome! I am already getting to know Bob at Bimota Spirit. Here's a good Bimota USA story that I got on my first try! The bike I got came with a cracked nose fairing. So I'm deciding whether to have it fixed or just replace it. I email Bimota USA twice and get no reply. So I come across Bimota Spirit while I am looking around and send Bob an email. Turns out, someone ordered the nose fairing but never got it (same guy I got the bike from???) so he can ship it immediately for not much more than it would cost to repair/paint the old one. Right about this time, Bimota USA finally emails back and says they can get one for about $130 less than Bob was selling it for. Anyway, I email Bob and tell him I need to go with the $130 less fairing, thanks just the same. Bob's flabbergasted - says Bimota are selling me the fairing for less than they sold one to him! But he's a great guy as it turns out, and he offers to sell me the one he has for the same amount Bimota will sell it. Works out great for me - good fairing price and I don't have to wait for one to come on a barge from Italy. I just got the fairing yesterday and it is beautiful. So, it looks like old Bob is going to extract more money out of me eventually to make up for getting screwed over by Bimota USA after all.

Bob is great to deal with. He sold me a new 2000 DB4 with no hassles. Came as described. Check out YouTube about the Bimotas.

Just for everyone's info, I heard from Bob from Bimota Spirit and he said he is a dealer for Moto Corse and can get any of the Bimota items.

Approx cost of a full titanium moto corse exhaust for a DB4 is $2,500.00

Here is a Db4 with a few options. It's not much, but it's a start.

Zounds 'Pig!.....you're gonna' give poor Soggy heart failure.

Have you put that on some scales yet?

Anytime you want to post some more shots of that bike, don't stop yourself!

I gotta' go now.....have to cut my DB4 in half with a saw (including it's OEM chrome steel kickstand....ya'll noticed the Ti kickstand 'Pig has didn't you?).....I'm not worthy!

"couple options"....HAH! SWEEEEEET!!
