NOTE: There are a lot of people supplying parts out there. So I've decided rather than just plaster anybody I come across. I will only provide links people who I know from personal experience are good to deal with i.e. : Reliable,helpful and prompt at delivering (taking into account the constraints of their location). Ebay in the USA is also a good place to look for parts for certain models, as the numbers of bikes shipped to the US must have been far greater than most other countries. |

| MDINAITALIA: John Fallon: just relocated in Suffolk . A great source for bevel twin parts and very reasonably priced: mdinaitalia | ||
|
EUROCARB LTD : Spares for all Dell'Orto Carbs. Fast service and seemingly good stocks for older carbs, e-mailed me a float height diagram within 15 mins of a phone call: eurocarb ltd |

| TRIPLE S POWDER COATING: These guys have done 2 frames for me now plus loads of ancillary parts; their finish is very smooth and they mask all threads off properly: TripleS | ||
| PERFECT POLISHING: Suppliers of polishing kits. If you want to do your own polishing get the full kit which includes grit abrasives which saves a lot of time: Perfect Polishing | ||
| Desmo-Ducati Germany. Andreas Nienhagen has a vast array of part available for all types of Ducati including those horrible parallel twins! Use the price list tag to see about 7000 parts sorted by Ducati's part numbers. He also speaks English which is a big help as my Deutch is non existant! Desmo-Ducati.De | ||
| Ducati service and manuals: Dunewood's manuals a lot of people do manuals but Dunwood will also supply them on CD if required. Lightning fast service from US | ||

| BEVEHEADS: Not a site but a mailing list I reccomend you join if you need to know ask anything about old Ducati's Bevelheads | ||
| DUCATIMECCANICA: THE font of all bevel knowledge. Loads of photos, articles, part numbers, useful links:ducatimeccanicia | ||
| DUCATISCRAMBLER: An Italian site with some good wiring diagrams and paint composition:ducatiscrambler | ||
| DESMO.ORG: A developing site with a mix of old and new. Includes reviews of UK Ducati clubs ( Keith whose site it is can't spell for s**t but you try telling him!) Keith also has a 450SCR but has recently turned to the darkside by buying a side-car to his 900 monster! desmo.org | ||
| Carl Liebold: A good detailed site showing Carl's restoration of a 1966 Mach 1 250, over a seven year period. My favorite quote from the site is : 'Another lesson: bikes like this cost FAR more to build than they are worth. But I said to myself, "I am resurrecting this bike, bringing a rarity back to life for my own personal enjoyment. This is worth it!" I couldn't agree more! liebold.com/single | ||
| Team Yikes: Craig Kenfield owns a variety of Ducati's and is currently restoring a 750GT which I think its fair to say was in worse condition my SCR450. Although I'm sure after a sufficiently large cash bonfire he'll get it sorted! teamyikes | ||
