Ceriani Fork tube

[ducati916]

Can some kind soul provide me with the tube length for the 3C. I have found a NOS tube set that I hope will fit one of my 3Cs and by the way the OD is 38mm.

595mm for triples
570mm for twins
hth, Ernesto

Do you know if the Ducati Ceriani's are the same as the triple? I have taken one apart and the tubes are longer but also the damper rod is different when compared to the Ceriani's of my SFC.

I have seen a couple of different types of damper rod. I just keep them in pairs.

Ducati fork tube mods I have used for 750SF2:

Easy way:
Ducati 750GT tube = 580mm
Use a 10mm spacer on top of the spring
Pull tube 10mm through top yoke (if it does not foul on flat bars)

Hard way:
860/900 tube = 610mm
Part off 40mm from the tube bottom and cut a new internal circlip groove (big lathe)

that is not correct Ernesto,
there are several lengths of fork tube for triples for sure and maybe even 750's but I doubt it.
I have the factory spec sheet somewhere (all models 50cc up) but cannot put my finger on it currently

That's true, Clem.
But we're only talking about the 38mm Ceriani here and they didn't
change the length.
Also on 750s' Ceriani 38 there's only one length.
