Re: Did you ride today? Show me!

A little ride on the roads, a little ride on a river ferry.

Re: Dave Day 8/6/2024

“having a Dave Day yesterday “ - I had to look that one be being in the colonies.
He must have been quite the character to prompt a continued response, I’ll have to read more on his life.

Re: tail light indicator

Ed is getting out of the Duc parts! Ah rats, I’ve gotten a handful of things from him.
Do you know why? I’m guessing not enough bang for the buck anymore?

Re: Did you ride today? Show me!

A nice spring day in the Mid Atlantic, I wish there was a zero after the “1” on this sign.

Re: chatterbo Gathering

I thought about going, it would my 1st time, but I also had tickets for the SX in Philly the day before.
I knew I’d be tapped out afterwards so no sense in trying this year. Post it up again next year.
Did you make it ?

Re: Front Tire Change

If you have a way to pull from above, if you have an open ceiling, I use a hoist and a strap run thru the steering neck to lift the front up. The bike would be on the center stand for a tire change. Any more extensive work and I put jack stands under each frame rail, see attached pic.

Re: Did you ride today? Show me!

Got in 20 miles on a cool sunny afternoon.
Had to road test the slave cylinder rebuild, new steering head bearings and fork rebuild. The shifting is way better!

Clutch Slave Rebuild

I dug into a rebuild on my 907ie slave cylinder. I ordered this rebuild kit from Ducati. New piston on the left, original piston on the right. IMG_1171.jpeg In regards to the bore of the cylinder, I’m thinking I can clean it up with a piece of 300 or 400 grit wet or dry paper? Does that seem like a ...

Re: Steering Head Races, size of cups?

I ordered the bearings and seals from the supplier Applied Industrial Technologies. It took about a week for them to come in. The attached picture has all the info, I’ll say bearing prices have gone up a lot. I was a walk up customer and I don’t have any connections to get a discount. But if you nee...

Re: fuel filter replacement

Reading thru the 907ie forum, I would copy out things for future reference. The text below was one of those things. My apologies to the original author as I don’t recall their name. Fuel Pump Removal Remove the Fuel Cap surround and seal (8 screws). Remove the breather off the bottom of the surround...

Re: Steering Head Races, size of cups?

During my winter maintenance I found the steering head bearings had a lot of notchiness when going thru lock to lock of the bars. Previous forum posts have been a great help, and I thought I’d post up some current info on what I’ve learned so far. 1st up is the replacement o-ring for the groove in t...

Re: 907 Resurrected

Wow, that’s really nice. Thank you for saving it and not parting it out. I agree with the $5K+ estimate, I paid $4750 for my black one with 16K miles earlier this year. You could try to list it over at Ducati.ms. That site is pretty active, maybe a buyer there. You may want to consider Iconic Motorb...
