New 20 ounce tumblers available now! Forum donation credit with purchase. https://www.wildguzzi.com/Products/products.htm#Tumbler
A Ducati without loud mufflers is a crime... Besides all you'll hear is the engine mechanical clatter...
Kill switch doesn't work, need to rig something up temporarily until I get the original CEV switches and control perches *found used ones on Ebay)
Saw these at a swapmeet yesterday and forwarded the info. to Jim:
Thanks Charlie, contact made, sale going through!
Now, there's some treasure that has been buried for a long time.
Some bevel 900SS’s came with LaFranconis and 32-mm carbs on the bike plus Contis and 40-mm carbs in the crate... mostly the LaFranconis were removed and replaced during initial dealer setup, so they’re out there. FWIW mufflers for 750s and 860/900s are different.
You've probably already seen this shot of the clocks, Maybe Charlie can shed some light on the mounts. I think it's one of his pictures. Paul B
Looks like you have the wrong gauge support set-up for that type housing. https://www.ducaticlassics.com/parts/860-gte-and-gts/all/dashboard-1975Note on diagram: item #20 is affixed to the gauge itself and uses the rubber band #19 to attach to the corresponding mounts #'s 17 & 18. Only 1 item #20 is shown in the diagram, it uses 2 - one on each gauge. This is almost exactly the same setup as on my 750 GT. These parts are really hard to find. I had to buy a whole fire damaged gauge with a #20 affixed to get on that was missing for my 750 GT restoration. Lucky for me, the other gauge mount pieces were there in the pile. If you are trying to scare up all of these mount pieces, you might shout out to the people on the Bevel Heads FB page.https://www.facebook.com/groups/4763588519/Also, this is my go-to outfit for Smiths gauge repair or cables. excellent work and very reasonable prices he was able to fix the gauge above BTW):http://vintagebritishcables.com/Smiths-Motorcycle-Speedo-Tach-Repair-Restore.php
Indeed it is. I'll see if I can get some more shots of the instrument cluster today.
Went out and took some photos, hope they help.Does attach to the underside of the upper triple clamp......with two M8x25 socket head cap screws.Looks like my buddy needs a new upper half. How the mounting brackets are situated.Earthworms? No, just disintegrated rubber rings that hold the lower and upper rings together. Backside of the tach... ...and speedo. Side view of the lower bracket.
Wasn't the same instrument housing, etc. used on a Norton? That might broaden your search a bit.
I didn't know that, will take a look.
Maybe you already heard about it, but don't forget to have a look into the crankshaft sludge trap .Did you find a workshop manual for your Ducati ?
Sorry, you can never un-see this:
I stripped the body work off and got the tin wear ready for the painter.The bike has been repainted (poorly) with a very tough red paint, the tank side emblem recess has been filled in, usually a sign of hidden damage. Sure enough when I stripped the paint off the gas tank the front left side is caved in, doesn't even look like any attempt at pulling the dents was made, bondo was spooned on and dents filled, then the emblem recess filled. The tank was also the original orange and black stripes as are the side panels and fenders. The left front signal light stem has been braised. The damage to the left side probably explains the bent side stand and dented muffler and why the gauge mounts were changed out and the plastic dash missing. I can't see any other traces of damage but will have a close look at the frame when I strip it down. I like how a motorcycle leaves clues to its past and figuring them out is half the fun.
