What doesn't look stock on this 750

[Dana]

and if it isn't stock, where does it look like (what type of bike) is it from?

Wheels, rear brake lever mount, shift lever mount, etc.

The rearsets which consists of the footpeg mounting brackets, footpegs, rear brake mount, and both brake and shift levers look to be the custom handi-work of a guy who is a machinist. I would vernture to say they are probably one-off, custom-made products.

As for the wheels.....the front one reminds me of many different bikes or custom aftermarket wheels. I see it also has the front brake calipers converted over to newer 4-piston Brembos....

- custom footpeg mounting brackets, footpegs and pedals
- Tecnomagnesio wheels (aftermarket)
- floating front brake discs (original size 280mm, probably Brembo) on adapters
- original rear brake disc on adapter
- black 4 piston Brembo calipers on the front (from Ducati 851 I think)
- caliper adapters
- steel braided brake lines and clutch line
- seat has new cover (original isn`t stitched)
- passenger grab handle was cut off
- Conti 2in1 exhaust
- vented clutch cover
- carbs & air filters
- oil check window from newer Duc types (probably that engine cover was changed)
- oil cooler lines were wrapped with tape (probably they have cracks)
- rubber tube on brake lever
- front sprocket cover
- numerous bolts could be stainless steels as they look quite shiny
- the hole of the steering halves was machined bigger as otherwise it`s not possible that the fork tubes stick out on top
- Euro talllight

(are the oil coolers original ? the top and bottom part looks a little bit different compared to my own.)

I was sitting here wondering how in the world you were able to see the rear brake rotor, then it hit me like a ton of bricks.....there is a link to even more pictures than what was posted in the thread.

..btw, seems, that Gerhard have again too much freetime !!!!

[paso750]

no. Actually it is that I already had every single bolt of my bike in my hands (really! It was taken apart to the very last bit and put back together) and therefore I notice changes quite fast.

also looks like an all new custom wiring harness. very clean, btw.
i cannot tell what kind of rectifier is in there because of glare from the flash.

I had a set of "rear sets" back in the 80's on my 82 gpz 550 and I would be 20 bucks that those are made by the same company. I think the name of the company was something like Tarrozi (my best guess with my memory being what it is) John

- Gia Ca Moto 2 into 1 exhaust. Loud, but very effective.
- Hung on a very slick custom hanger.
- Vented clutch cover

Nice bike. Lots of cool modifications, and they look like they were all done very nicely. All top drawer stuff, and much of it difficult to replace. I would have to agree that a machinist owned that bike at some point, or the owner had a good machinist friend.

Reminds me of a story...

When I first got my 907 back in 1991, Ducatis were rarely seen out and about. I was stopped at a little overlook one afternoon on mine when a Guzzi rider came by. I heard him downshifting, then he came back and pulled up next to my bike.

Out of the blue he asked me "so are you an engineer, or a machinist?" as if those were the only two options.

I told him I was an engineer and asked how he knew.

"Those seem to be the only two types of people who buy those bikes."

So... going by that sentiment, pretty much every Ducati from that era was owned by a machinist! (or engineer...)

As a matter of fact, I realize we are a sort of elite!

I dont feel to be in "elite", cause my fingers and hands are full of shit near allways from my Pasos and othere Ducatis..... i am already 49(birthday tomorrow!), so maybe i need some other brand..... Maybe better sell all Ducatis away and buy one "good motorbike" ??????

Ok, "good motorbike" are "user friendly", but how could you spend your time then?
