Trellis frames on the ducatis are lovely, nice work on those calipers!

Feck are you still doing this !!
Re: Ducati 750ss First time project
I bet the work you did at the start of the project is now so old it has rusted through and needs a full restoration! ![Twisted Evil :twisted:](./images/smilies/icon_twisted.gif)

Update September 2018
Right, that's it
Have booked the bike in with our local Ducati specialist
Will be taking it over to him mid-October to get the engine running properly
Once that's done I can leave it another few years
But seriously, since I stopped winning the yearly award for "most anticipated project" I've been down in the dumps
I've managed to pick myself up, dust myself off and start all over again
It's in the middle of the workshop, ready

Re: Ducati 750ss First time project
Can you rename this thread "Ducati 750SS life time project" instead?
It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.

UPDATE
Have been slogging away in the man cave and it's just about finished
I've decided on a different direction to the original idea!
Will have to get the engine fine tuned and I'm not sure about the red centers on the discs
