Next question:

I am assembling the brake calipers right now, but i don`t know the correct torque.
(The torque for fitting both left & right half together)

Thanks in advance...

32NM

I`ve read that, but i couldn`t believe, that it is so low.
What do you say? Loctite?
I`d use loctite red....

they are cast aluminium parts after all.
Loctice recommended of course.

Thanks, G.

Maybe i can manage to put the bike together this year...

I Thought long restorations were a German tradition?

Yeah, but this time it wasn`t the tommies who destroyed the whole thing

I guess that comment went in my direction

G.

Cant see a response to your question about the "Made in Italy" sticker, so on the risk of repeating someone else's response, I have one on the tank of my bike, its a little green white and red one and is in front of the filler cap, between the cap and the steering head pivot.

Your build looks very nice, but I am very interested in the Bevel in your very first picture...some more information on that too please.

It was indeed directed toward Southern germany!

No architectural or conflict references intended

The Bevel?

Its a 1978`s 900SS. Bought it from my uncle last year. He is the first owner & kept it for 32 years.

I have all bills for everything what has been done, including for the selling rates from 78/79.

In this very moment i am preparing it for a ride... (oil & filter change).

Hi Guys,

can someone of you make perfect pictures of the swingarm decals?
I want to reproduce them, and digitally restoring mine would be lots of work...

you trying to compete with G now ?

I do not have the abilities to compete with G.
His bike will be at least near perfect. Mine will be good, i hope.

Even though i have a ST3 powertrain, i want an original look "from the outside". (Apart from the exhaust, i need ST3 parts there as well for homologization)

And for me it is very important to try to make these unobtainable parts like the decals available again, what has been realized for the frame decals in seond try...

Johannes, if you get a set made, get me one, too please.
The first one looks very similar to the one of the 851/888 (#43311051A) it only says 25-27mm instead of 23-25mm. This one may still be available from Ducati.


(Have you asked Ducati for the other one #43311041a ?)
