I just rebuilt the slave cylinder on my Super Sport. It took all of ten bucks or so for seals and half an hour of my time. Ducati of Seattle had the seals in stock; they have never failed to have what I need to keep my bike on the road. "Unobtanium"? Hardly. Parts availability, parts cost, ease of maintenance, and general reliability of these bikes seems to get a lot of bad publicity. It's all b.s. perpetuated by those who don't actually own one.
