It's just sat there, not attached, look at the RHS ( looking at) 'mount' there's cardboard or similar protecting the bike Staged photo Phew
Two pics of the bike I sold just before the world went crazy on retro. Bought as a stock bike and modified in the course of three years in something even more special.
I did a ton of large and small modifications. The Termigionis sound wonderfull and are even street legal. Fork where replaced by fully adjustable Monster ST4 items and in order to fit the 999 calipers I had to buy a new Excell rim which could be laced differently to get just enough clearance between the spokes and the calipers. Hyperpro spring at the back, powdercoated black, Oberon slave cilinder for the clutch, shortened final drive and a retro style back end with a custom made (leather) seat fitted with a zipper to be able to acces the seathump to get the toolkit or a lock out. Turn indicators are well hidden in the bar ends and at the back in the dimples of the rear seat rail. A hugger keeps the bike tidy on rainy days and so does the larger SCGT front mudguard. Also the GT mudguard is more in line with the 70's bikes the SC was based upon. Headlight was lowered about an inch to sharpen up the looks and the slightly higher optional clip-ons were fitted. Seeing the pictures again and typing this list makes me miss the bike. But fortunately some very interesting bikes followed.
4 years ago I bought a very low milage 1989 monoposto and decided to turn it into a Lucchinelli replica. 3.75" Marvic magnesium front, 6.25" Marvic magnesium rear. Full floater disks, Conti reverse cone mufflers (What a thunderous noise they make!) New Ducati Corse rear brake and rod, liIon battery, Carbon corsa hugger, SP oil cooler, Tricolore vented clutch cover. 888 valves, raised compression and porting plus a Ducati Corse Eprom generated 105 rear wheel HP from 86. Isn't she a beauty?
