pdm60 basically replaces your fusebox with 60 amps worth of electronic breakers. a single internal relay switches everything, which i found a little disappointing. i think each circuit should be independently switchable. instead, i ended up with three other relays (ign, hi-, lo-beam). most 900ss sho...

thanks for the compliments. you called it on the fuel tank. fuelcel makes a streamlined version of the 99+ 900ss tank: http://eti-fuelcel.com/Ducati900SSpost.html forgot to actually post a pic of the tail. it's one of these: http://www.motodynamic.com/94-04-ducati-748-916-996-998-sequential-led-tail...

so you may remember this bike from a couple years ago. last winter i decided to bite the bullet and do all the things i'd always thought of doing to it. here's a summary: - modified frame (rear section cut off, shock mount relocated). - wheels, forks, brakes, shock from '01 900ss. - dellorto phf 36'...

it's wintertime, which means the bike is in pieces again and reforming for its next incarnation. i've decided to do all new bodywork this time, with an eye towards weight, so i just put my tail and saddle on ebay: http://www.ebay.com/itm/251746780354?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555...

the crack happened as a result of intimate contact between the slider and a hard bench surface. i then attempted to carefully bang it back into shape, but aluminum will be aluminum. viper and phil: yes, that oil cooler is from a 749/999. based on my very scientific observations (gloved hand on the v...

so i'm finally biting the bullet and swapping to 900ss forks and wheels. anyone have a need for stockers? i have complete front and rear ends including triples, brakes, hardware, cush drive, clipons, wheels, etc (keeping the swingarm and rear axle). parts all have 9480 original miles on em. forks ha...

technically you want vintage carellos to be correct. the problems with them are: they aren't cheap; they aren't very good; you'll have to fab a mounting solution yourself since nobody seems to make such a thing; and they may not be legal in your jurisdiction. i couldn't find anything that was the ri...

btw paso750, i'm not terribly happy with the brake lines either. those are off the shelf from bevel heaven. i'll replace them soon with custom lines. and when i do i'll also replace the rear. there's also that one fuel line that should be braided just for consistency. incidentally, while digging thr...

more pics... here the tank is structurally done, but before fill and sand. in the previous post you can see the original tail section and corbin seat. below you can see the solo tail molded from the seat. i basically covered the seat and tail with fiberglass to get the basic shape, then laid more fa...

thanks for the compliments. sorry for the no reply. work-sleep-ride-repeat. put 800 miles on the bike in the last few weeks. i have to control myself. i have a new rule: i only ride the duck on the weekends, and only on day rides out of town. i got other bikes i can put city miles on. but it's runni...

right. that ground strap is prolly marginal. and i agree - i never really liked the monster's departure from its race heritage. of course the riding position is a lot more comfortable. the tank is scratch-built composite. i picked up the basic skills hanging out with some home-built aircraft builder...

many thanks. it's been so long i don't know what to do now. guess i'll work on the house or something. btw if anyone's interested, the fuel system goes like this: there's an in-tank strainer on the end of aluminum hardline picking up from the low point of the tank. goes through one of these awesome,...

notes: the fuel system is really overkill automotive stuff, but it's bulletproof. an-6 lines are HUGE for this application, but the hardware i had selected used those fittings, so i stuck with it. i had a holley regulator on there and wasn't happy with it. the fuelab unit is a little larger, but it'...

more pics

as promised, here are a few pics of the newly resurrected sport. i'm pretty happy with the paint. except for the fact that i didn't quite match the frame, my guy did a pretty good job. lots of little things to work on here and there, but i'm gonna focus on riding it this summer instead of obsessing ...
