[Ducati] 2002 Monster S$

[Rodger Mauch]

I recently purchased a 2002 Monster S4 with only 139 miles on it.  
Unfortunately it didn't have the red master key with it. I had the  
owner include the statement that he would pay the replacement cost  
for the key in the bill of sale. Unfortunately he refused to pay once  
he found out the cost.  I have seen info on the net that this can be  
replaced for $750. Every dealer I contact wants $3200. Ebay had some  
one that said they could create a Black copy of the red key if I sent  
them the Dash, ECU, and a black key. When I asked them if they  
covered damages to the parts if they messed up I got no reply. I  
didn't want to take the risk sending the parts to them. Can anyone  
give me some suggestions on this.
