What’s this part called? I’ve lost one

[JJ55]

Hi all, I took the bike apart a while back to make various changes. Just got back to rebuilding the handlebars months later, went to fit some new levers as a final touch & realised I’ve lost one of these

What’s it called? Bike is a Ducati monster for ref. The part goes inside the lever.

Without knowing its function or being intimate with that model it's hard to say what its name would be! Plus being Italian it might be called something odd as a direct translation.

Is there no online 'fiche/parts diagram you could look it up on?

EDIT: Maybe start here https://www.bike-parts-ducati.com/ducati-motorcycl...
(I would have tried myself but you didn't say *which* Ducati Monster!)

EDIT 2: I guessed and clicked round a bit. I don't think it has an official name as if I've got the correct part (#4) it comes part and parcel with the lever. I'd call it a pushrod personally.

Definitely a pushrod or similar, I had one in my 796, but looking at the parts diagram it's not listed, so you might struggle getting one without the whole master cylinder

Post the dimensions. I might have one spare I can post you.

Edit: found it. Any good to ya? It's from a bike that uses Brembo levers if that makes any difference. Not actually sure if it's *from* a Brembo item, could be from something aftermarket, just remembered I had one lying around in a box.

Thanks for the replies. Sorry I didn’t respond I’ve been on nights & not on ph.

So to update. Yes it is a type of pushrod but not one that seems to be for sale anywhere! I dropped into ray petty Ducati today as I was nearby & after a lot of rooting through drawers they kindly pulled one out of an old lever and donated it to me. Going to be careful with these now!

Looks like some sort of retaining plunger.

It is not a rolled pin? Called spirol pin by manufacturer , made from spring steel

Easy enough to make on by using the shank of a drill bit.

Similar but those are hollow

Tbh I thought I was going to have to machine some brass bar at home to fit

Thanks bud, luckily one has turned up so crisis is over! I now have a working clutch & brake

I thought the picture above showed a hollow pin, hence my post about spirol pins, not easy to replicate, the idea is they are hammered in and the spring steel expands and jambs the pin in the two components.

A solid pin would not be the same and a drill blank made to fit would be difficult to remove subsequently
