Ducati 750ss First time project

[Flatline]

After a bit of a lay off, and working on the Firestorm, I have started on the monster wiring loom



Now know which bits connect where so the next bit will be to cannibalise the 750ss loom for the connectors

Converting the front to twin disc set up, more for the looks than performance

Got a pair of discs from an ST2 and a caliper from a Cagiva River plus a reservoir from a 900ss

Headlamp is painted black and I have made a bracket from tubing to match the frame



Have shaved down the original seat foam to form a new one to fit the tail unit

A new tail unit has been built, slightly thinner to sit on top of the frame rather than hang over it

I have found a light for it



Monster clocks fitted to temporary bracket







Tried a bit of wrap on the tank

Looking good mate, nicely done.

I was wondering what happened to this. Coming along then.

Flatline, like what your doing there

Have a look at this advert, I saw the bike in the shop when I was getting new waterproof jacket and it looks great. They took a std 900ss and Did the cafe racer mods themselves, looked very sweet in the flesh.

Bloody hell, that is unchangingly like what Flatty is doing.

Nice looking Duke, nice contrast between the frame & tinware. Sure Flatty's will be as good when it's done.

[lloydie]

wire wheels is the look to go for i think , it just sets it off

[Kev L]

You're right there mate. Hellishly expensive though.

[Flatline]

I reckon you are on the money with regards to wire wheels

Will have to keep a look out for a set of Supermoto wheels

First thing is to get the bike finished and on the road

Then I can start to tweek it

[Kev L]

I've seen a few sets pop up on Gumtree recently. If you're not watching it you may be wise to scan it occasionally.

[Flatline]

That would be good Kev

However, I will need the money to get the thing on the road

After that, I can start to look around

So unless some come up stupidly cheap, it wil have to wait

[Kev L]

Fair enough mate, got to work to your budget. What sizes would you need for the Duke?

[sirch345]

It's coming along very nicely Flatline

Chris.

[Flatline]

3.50 x 17 front and 4.50 x17 rear

We then have to consider the different axle sizes and fittings etc, how they work with the Duc

Not put any time in getting information

At the moment I have to build the rear "box", under the seat hump to house the electrics

And how the seat is to be fixed to the bike to allow access

All in all it will be an interesting time

Hope to get your input

Regards

this looks good and still has cast wheels
