Absolutely gorgeous! perhaps my favorite Ducati model of all time. Thanks for showing us the pictures. Change out that rear tire or be careful.

Very Nice bike. Especially like the 2 in 1. Who made it?

The muffler are GIA.CA.MOTO. I do not know but I think this is from Gianelli. Anybody know?

Nice job on the rear cowl mod. Is that stock parts fused together, or did someone do a fiberglass redo?
I see the stock pillion pegs/muffler hangers have been removed.
Exhaust looks like the GiaCoMoto that I have bits of, but yours is complete.
Welcome to the site.
Did you do most of the work, or was it the previous owner/s? Whats on your list for next steps?
Cheers,

Hello.
I do not know where the brake discs are coming from. I can try to check it out later. I also like the style of the exhaust system, but are not as excited by the sound. Miss the "real" sound of a duc, with 2-2 exhaust.
Best regard Rune

Hello.
It is stock parts fused together on the rear cowl. All modifications made by previous owners, and I think everything was done when the bike was relatively new, so the bike is a time capsule from a bygone time.
It has been my for 3 years now, and the next plan is to get new tires, new air filter (these are custom made from UNI Filter, Australia), and I'll try installing a 2.2 system with carbon silencers (SIL) from a 750Ss 1998 as a friend of mine is running. I'm not so happy with the sound at 2-1 exhaust GIA.CA.MOTO.
UNI Filter mountet on DelLorto PHM41HS.

Those carbs are a bit big for that engine, but if you get them to run OK, then I guess they're OK. 36mm is the recommended size.
I recommend putting big rubber elbows on those carbs and put some big sock filters on top of those up above the carbs. Gets the intakes into cooler air, gives you bigger air cleaners, and smooths the flow of air coming into the carb.
When you get your new pipes, you can easily sell that set up here on the list. It is one of the few 2 into 1 pipes, and produces good power, but it is loud.
Cheers,

Hello, and thank you for your feedback.The bike runs like a dream on the carburetors mounted on. I agree that the horizontal cylinder should have the benefits of fresh cold air and rubber elbow helps to even out the airflow. But the airfilters are large enough, dont you think?
