Got it from Ducati: Piston only sold with cylinder; price £271.00 ex. Only vertical cylinder plus piston available. Horizontal discontinued.......
This isn't what I understand as 'piston slap' which I always understood as meaning a slapping skirt. I think the noise is from a piston rattling...
Hadn't once heard in my searching that the well reported problem of Ducati SS 'piston slap' was ever due, as in this example, to unusual wearing...

You're a gent DesmoQ.
