I'm not sure of the part#(I'll find the box)but it was listed as a universal. Also had to use a sleeve on one of the bolt holes./ Someone on the forum hooked me up. So look it up in search.
Har, har funny guy. It's easier to flip up that way until I get a keyless one thats captured, even though you are totally rightlol
Yes, its a universal one, and quite a bit longer than it needs to be (check the off-set in the clamp), but more of an experiment since the stock one is so lightly valved. It does fit the SX bar clamps without mod (barely) and clears the airbox too! The rod ends are thicker so the pivot side got extra o-rings to protect it from corrosion and I got hardware 5mm longer. The piston end needs a sleeve with a 1/4" OD and 6mm ID, so I drilled out some 1/4" aluminum tubing I had laying around. Stainless hardware is on the way. All in all, an easy swap if you are comfortable with tools.
Functionally it's a HUGE improvement. The bike would get upset mid corner with pavement undulations when harsh bumps would be ok. I kept taking the stock one off to make sure it was working and it was/is. This one needs to be 1-4 clicks from max to be valved stiffer than stock but thats plenty. I like it!
The Ducati reservoirs are just there to be pretty. I get lots of good comments on them

Parts for upgrading to Ohlins Steering damper (P/N SD-000) if you feel the need to have an adjustable steering damper. You only need one of the small sleeves to make it fit. Basically one of the holes on the damper is to large for the stock mounting hardware. Just press the sleeve into the hole and you are all set. I was able to do the press work with a set on channel locks

Good find on the sleeves! I thought the 8mm O.D. (.310 inches) would be too big. But i guess not. I'm sure there's plenty of other places to use them on a EBR, so I'll get a pack:)
Works great on my SX. Yo;u can buy a package of sleeves on Amazon for like $6. Comes with plenty if you make a mistake. They are split sleeves.
