[Ducati] Battery Cables

[Mario Baroz]

Rich,
 
I'd like a set of your cables.  I have a 1996 900SS/CR but I have an aftermarket dry cell battery in there so I have to take some measurements. I'm pretty sure the stock cables are still in there but since I didn't do the battery install, I"ll have to double check.  Thanks!  Mario Baroz

Saved all the inquiries and will be looking at my stock materials and getting back to all next couple of days. Typically once I get an order for wires it is just a day or so before I make them and get them out. I make these wires as ordered and typically prefer folks tell me exactly what they want. I have a database of sorts that works for most models but if an owner can measure and in some cases suggest a better than stock length I make them to order. Some models/years used two ground wires from batt ot frame and then frame to case. I am a big advocate of simplifying but some may like that and others not. The fastener into the case can be a bugger for some to remove and easy for others, point is I want folks happy with the result and as such take the ime to look at exactly what you want and then make me to suit. You wont get that from a> catalog. I also suggest making wires that are as long as they need to be and no longer, typical Ducati routing in many cases can be improved upon. I may prefer woners to look at that and even take loose and use a string to measure what they want.
