Re: Well you asked for another Ducati build
I’m sorry to say it Tony, but looking at the photos only there looks to be too big of a gap between the rear wheel/tyre and the rest of the bike making the swingarm look really long. It’s like there needs to be something to fill that gap may be? It’s only my opinion, and may look different in realit...

Re: 1997 Rebuild gone bad
Not wishing to throw a spanner in the works of Tony's reply, but when you did the compression test was the engine turning over at the right speed then? If not then you would get a low reading.

Re: Maidstone Motoliner- Kent. Recommended!
Nice one Tony :thumbup: So did they confirm it was the disc that was the issue? Chris. I knew that already, I'd checked it using my dial test indicator. One wasn't too bad, the other had a visible wobble. They trued both, and now braking is back as it should be. I had read your post where you said ...
