Talked to a couple different dealers today, including Ducati Omaha, whom I previously regarded as one of the best sources for parts, even for old bikes. Seems like Ducati has taken a new line (well, new to me) in regards to how far back in their history they're willing to support. In a nutshell, anything older than 1991 is s___ out of luck. Part numbers still cross-reference and may still be readily available, but apparently there is no more microfiche support for anything prior to '91, at least through a dealer.
I was kind of shocked.
