Posted: Fri Mar 23, 2018 5:55 pm Post subject: Miscellaneous little bits for a DB2 |
|
|
I purchased my DB2 last September and couldn't be happier. No, that's not completely true. It would have been nice if the previous owner had also had some of the little bits that would have originally come with the bike. Now I have to hunt down the following;
tool bag and kit
owner's manual (I have a pdf but want an original hard copy)
original bike stand that they came with
bike cover (I've been told they came with one but haven't been able to confirm that)
Looking forward to hearing back from anyone who has one of the above for sale or can point me in the direction of finding any. Thanks. |

Oh...you can also but these pin badges...which are made of metal and hand enamelled...said previous person also has one of these of course......Many of the trinkets given by Bimota to new owners is very evidently kept by the seller for nostalgia...or coz they've misplaced them...or sometimes more commonly, the new owner has "stolen" the bike at a cheap price...and thus the previous owner has held back on giving out the trinkets.........If I see any of the Original bits youre looking for I'll give you a shout privately.....I do have a spare tool kit though....wink wink...even the duster cloth that comes with it is still in its original sealed envelope.....TREASURE!!!!!!!!!!....

You may want one of these for your man cave...you should be able to click and print off whatever size you want
I should perhaps mention that I hope you are a patient and young or at least healthy man...it took me 8 years to collect all the pieces...my bike came with one ignition key and one petrol cap key...and no front discs!!!....... |

This spare parts manual shows you the contents of the tool bag at the very end...and the actual rear bike stand and leather key fob...and the concentric chain adjuster tool....no bike cover is shown though

I did get the leather key cover a few weeks ago and I have found all the manuals (parts, owner's, wiring diagram, etc.) online for free which was great. I even found a couple of the original rubber fuel tank hold-downs which surprised me.
The parts I listed are just what I am missing from having the bike essentially complete. I guess it doesn't matter a lot as having the bike itself is the main thing. Still, it will be nice over the next few years to gradually find what I can. |

Getting closer. I found an original hard copy of the owner's manual but not the nice leather case that would have originally come also. I found a tool kit with the bag but it's missing the shock adjuster and the 2-piece spark plug wrench. If anyone has a lead on those two items I would much appreciate it. I don't think I will try to find the stand as I have a really nice one anyway that is a nice red to match the frame and swing arm.
Last thing I need to really do is make the sidestand bracket that lets the sidestand stay down. |

Side stand mod is very useful and reassuring.....
Rear shock absorber adjustment wrench.....As with the Bimota Vdue....DB5R....and DB2....these bikes came with Ohlins rear Shock absorbers...and seeing as Bimota dont ALWAYS reinvent the wheel....the bikes also came with the Genuine Ohlins rear shock absorber wrench
So...and be quick now....heres one in the states for sale....check it against the Owners Handbook Manual hand drawn picture of the spare tools....its the same
I only searched on Ebay.uk which draws in some USA sellers willing to post over here...so a search on ebay USA may draw in cheaper genuine Ohlins ones...
Hhmmm....seems like the one I found is the only one for sale on ebay in the USA....so I've modded the "post" and you now have a pm with the link to the item |
