  6. LOve that you haven't taken the labels of the tyres of the 1098s. Apart from the cans the pegs, looks pretty standard, and rather nice if I may say so :upyeah:
     
  7. Thanks Matt.

    I haven't taken them off because I've just had the tyres fitted to sell it, hence all of the sopay gunge on them. I think my old, worn rear tyre had more tread on it than a new Supersorsa BSB though :biggrin:

    Termi's, Slipper clutch and a few bits of Gilles bling. Apart from that, it's pretty standard.

    I do still yearn for the 916 though.

    My 996 out playing in Wales. What an introduction to Ducati (me being a 2-stroke man at heart). This was my 1st Italian bike since my Gilera 50cc Trials moped.

  11. yes kind sir it definatly is a 500
    year is around 1978
    although its not as it should be as it has been messed around with a bit
    wrong bars for a start and wrong engine it has I think a gtl/v non desmo engine fitted
    it should look like this one day should be not far off lol

  15. Easy... Yes... But be careful of rockers, mine was a 748E which was the base model, replaced the beposto, the rear shock was Sachs I think and the steering angle was non adjustable (whoopdy doo basil!)
     
  16. I was born in 1976....just thought I'd mention that :smile:

  17. A 2002 998s mono. Pics of her in biposto mode are on my profile page (can't seem to cut and paste from there, and can't find any on the phone or iPad).

    Had her since March 2009, and don't intend getting rid.

    Here's a pic of the live feed to the starter motor...

  18. Woooo! My first Ducati was also an SS 400, same red with the half fairing. Put the 540cc cylinder kit on it. Loved that bike. Picture to come when I can find some.
