The engine number should be only 5 digits. Maybe you got an extra "0" in there? At any rate, if it's 80619, that's a very early engine number. Curious that the full year number is stamped. Usually the last digit of the year was left for the dealer to stamp, which they usually didn't do. So the foil tags would show "196" as the year.
Harry's Motorcycles in Denver was a well established dealership when they took on the Ducati line. They must have been successful with Ducati, seems like many bevel singles show up in the area. Unfortunately, Harry's closed several years ago when the neighborhood where the shop was located gentrified. Don't feel too bad, the parts you need were long gone by then.
Additional pictures before you start to disassemble would be welcome!

Opps! My mistake.
Indeed, the number is "80619"
Guess the dealer stamped this one, as it definitely has the full year.
Please see pics attached.

PS - RE: gentrification...yeah - lots of Denver is going that way. Not that I can complain too much, sold a house last year for quite a bit more than I payed for it 10 years earlier.
