Hello Andrea, nice looking bike. Which front end is that? I like the Honda wing badges on the tank, nice.
Whereabouts in Italy are you based?

We had a new member join the other day, tastethefloor from Modena.
The front end looks very nice mate. I used a 954 Honda front end on mine, makes a nice difference to the handling.
Has the bike had the cam chain tensioners sorted? Either manuals or stopper mod fitted to prevent engine explosion. The early model also needs the regulator/rectifier changed either to the later, post 2001, finned version or a MOSFET version.

Wow an Italian without a Ducati 8O

Welcome to the forum Andrea. As for the CCT's you can do the stopper mod on them if you like the originals. :beer: See Read me below for more info.

Ciao

Si, ho messo due tenditori nuovi originali. Quelli manuali non mi convincono gran che, preferisco cambiarli ogni toto con gli originali.
