The top picture is similar to a bracket used to tidy the 2 breather/overflow pipes from the petrol tank and the 1 from the water expansion bottle where they exit at the lower casing. The lower picture is definitely homemade and I can only guess. Do you have an oil cooler ? My 748R oil cooler has an aluminium bracket that attaches to the fairing to keep it vertical which is broken. Your bracket could be to support the oil cooler. Andy
Some lead acid batteries also had a breather- overflow tube that ran through that wire bracket. Steve
Yes, the wire near the oil window is to keep the battery overflow/breather from flapping about, not needed if you don't have a lead acid battery. The jubilee clip/bracket on the exhaust is some kind of home made bodge...
just rolled her in to our camera test room. will get some decent lighting sorted in the next couple of days and shoot some nice content
OEM seal is now available from Ducati - only a couple of quid. I changed mine as a matter of course during re-build, looked at aftermarket cylinders but although I would like the lever to be bit easier to pull I decided to keep the bike original.
