    Hugger now sorted, brand new one on ebay for £12 .. well happy
    Getting closer by the day :upyeah:
    Modified the SL corbin seat to fit.
    Just waiting now for s/h parts to arrive from holland
    and belts from Chris at cycle works.
    I did have a 916 rad fitted but a ST4 one will fit better so i;m looking for either
    a st2, st4 or a monster s4 rad or even a 888 curved radiator (not much chance)


    My spaniel in the pic is sulking, i gave him a bath today and he hates it!

  19. I'm more nostalgic about my 851 that any other bike I have owned.

    I think I had more fun on it. It was a whole era.
    I did have, for a short while, the cutting edge Ducati superbike at a time when they were really far and few between. It was the business.
     

  20. I agree, I also love my Superlight too.. both lovely machines, I have ridden the new stuff & like it but I keep going back to the old ones
