DescriptionThe whole story▼

The Desert Sled is the off-road Scrambler, with longer suspension travel, a 21-inch front wheel and a reinforced frame. On dirt the rear brake does much of the steering, and Gilles' BRC-18-B puts a machined cap on its reservoir.

Key Features

  • Cover for the rear brake fluid reservoir
  • One coloured ring each in silver, red and blue
  • The ring colour is your choice, as a visual accent
  • CNC-milled aluminium
  • Replaces the original reservoir cover quickly
  • No registration required, according to Gilles

Types 5K and 6K

Listed from 2021. Wipe off the dust before opening the reservoir, and keep the original cap as a spare.

Road Approval

Gilles lists this reservoir cover as not requiring registration on the Ducati SCRAMBLER DESERT SLED: no inspection and no entry in the vehicle documents. The work itself belongs to the brake system, so do it cleanly and carefully.

Scope of Delivery

One Gilles BRC-18-B rear reservoir cover in black with 3 coloured rings (silver, red, blue). You fit the ring you like; the others stay in the box for a later change of colour, and the original cover can be kept.

Fitting

Work with the reservoir horizontal and the bike held steady, and have a cloth ready for drips. Choose the ring colour first, then swap the covers and tighten the new one evenly. Wipe away any fluid at once, check that everything is tight and dry, and test the brake before riding off.
