very simplified a USD fork reduces the unsprung masses* and stiffens the front end as the triple clamps hold the thick part of the fork. This improves handling and response.

Re: Ducati 907 ie Tool kit
one day I'll buy one 851/888 as I have 2 SP3 engines in race trim.
but at the moment I spend every € in my machine shop to get that finished and be able to make chips.
BTW Rhino, she looks great, despite the pink.

Re: Ducati 907 ie Tool kit
Rhino, grow up ! You`re like a 5 year old that wants everything he sees. Wtf do you want a SP engine for? You don`t like your 851 and you didn`t ride it once. You don`t do trackdays neither and full prepped race engines are usually a ***** to ride in normal traffic.

Re: Ducati 907 ie Tool kit
G. shut up.
your spoiling Rhino's wet dreams
in totally there are 2 engines. both are dismantled.
during the restauration we build in a brandnew SP4 engine.
Pasonut, you're invited to eat my chips
they come in all kind of flavours and shapes: aluminium, steel, stainless, plastics in the shape of noodles, curlls and all other possible shapes

Re: Ducati 907 ie Tool kit
G . . . you do make me laugh.
Bertus - the only thing I can dismantle easily is a steak and kidney pie and I certainly couldn't put it back together again - a Ducati engine? No hope. That's a Visa Card situation.
Actually G, I couldn't actually get on the 851 at the moment (my left hip and both my knees are agony and are being completely replaced later this year. In the meantime lots of Morphine derivatives . . . no I'm not kidding.) To be honest I think getting on the 907 would be a struggle.
I think I probably could get my leg over the 916 - then couldn't get my knees bent enough to get my feet up! After that I couldn't get my hip to flex enough to get off again. Stranded on a bike!!
If I need to go out for a fast blast in comfort it looks like I'm going to have to buy a Second Generation Vmax . . .

Re: Ducati 907 ie Tool kit
Rhino,
dismantling something is easy...........
sorry to hear about your physical situation.
but....maybe this is a solution for you. A fast blast with a slightly modified 996R.
you can outrun the segway.
To be honest I hope you recover that you can enjoy the comfty 907.
