916 Rebuild

Discussion in 'Builds & Projects' started by Pete433, Dec 7, 2022.

  1. a little while ago i had my 916 casings cerakoted...

    Cerakote - Wiltshire | Ducati Forum

    i was hoping to get the bike rebuilt a little sooner but with Louigi Moto getting broken into i held off a little for the dust to settle before asking him to put it back together for me. (i would like to have given it a go myself but this one is my pride and joy so didnt want to risk fcking it up!),

    i took it down there and had a good chat with Rich. they've caught the pricks who broke in although there's little chance they'll get the justice they deserve, but more importantly Rich was back on full form and did the engine for me and he's firing on all fours doing engines and services. he's got a lad called Lee working down there with him who is on the ball too.....fair to say the engine is immaculate! he really does do a proper job down to every detail and with Lee learning from him then the future after a shit year for him is looking good

    i cant wait to put this back together, although it'll be a few months at least, i'll update with pics etc as it comes together,

  10. Well done mate! Is that the one that came up out of the swamp, or have you given up on it? Lost track I’m afraid. I blame the cold.

  11. I prefer the weathered, corroded, left-on a-south-coast-beach over the winter look personally.

    looks awesome. Out of interest the cerakote colours, what did you specify? Thanks

    i need my 888 done.

  12. I was gonna say, if you 'prefer the weathered, corroded, left-on a-south-coast-beach over the winter look' I've got just the bike for you!!!

    LMAO!
     
  13. He had done a few before and came recommended. I’d seen his precious work so was happy with it. He kept the colours a guarded secret, I did ask him but he didn’t say what they were
     
  14. No the swamp thing was all done and finished, now sold to a good home :upyeah:
    This one is my keeper so I’m taking my time to get this nice. Hope your keeping well mate
     
  15. It’s a beauty in the flesh :p
