Ducati Forum: Our 2 Strokes

Discussion in 'Other Bikes' started by Exige, Nov 19, 2017.

  1. Vans always do become more valuable I guess as they’re not really that well maintained beyond a certain age.
     
  2. did you never see the 80's film party party?

    Started 4th kick and first kick every 6EE8BACA-B7A0-4936-ABB7-8E6232CDD2A0.jpeg time since then ... electronic ignition on old dirt bikes are ace . Engine sounds great , looking forward to finishing it off when the fatbars and levers turn up .
    Even managed to make fit some Pivot Pegz I had kicking around

  12. excellent!
     
  13. Lovely!

    I’ve always wondered since I was a kid in the 70’s - what’s the round ally plate on the side of the tank for?
    It looks cool but I always wondered why all the Kawasaki race bikes had that feature.
    Can you enlighten me?
     
  14. A Dennis Dean frame? :thinkingface:
     
  15. It's a factory H1r frame.

  16. Cool :cool:
    So a Dennis Dean engine? :thinkingface:
     
  17. These are the quick fill blanking plates, the other side has the quick fill connection, not very reliable by all accounts as they tended to leak quite often as I understood.
