It slides on from the top and is held in place with the factory installed launching wheel...

    What did you do in your garage today..?

    Just the standard ABS plumbing pipe cement. Its cheap. You don't have much time to apply it before it sets up. I've made loads of things out of ABS. With the flat stock you can add pieces like gussets and stiffeners by gluing pieces together.

    Ducati rear wheel socket
