So I was looking for a M900 monster, or possibly a 750, no projects, had to be spot on ready to go………. What have I bought? A 1997 750ss project. I must be mad but just fell in love with it. Should be a simple one (been there, laughed at that comment). But will be worth it. Going to need a few bits, where is the best place for service parts and spares in the U.K.?
Firstly welcome A great choice of bike, that’ll keep you busy! I tried without success taking my ‘97 900 to a local Ducati main dealer in the belief they would have the best knowledge available to sort out the running problems I was experiencing at the time. After many failed revisits I decided to take it to a local Honda now Yamaha dealer I’ve known the head mechanic there since my school days and he was more than able to get the bike up and running, and at a very reasonable cost. I was reaching the end of my tether and all for getting shut of it, but so glad I didn’t. So what I’d say is do some research and don’t jump to conclusions As for spares this forum has a deep understanding, history and knowledge on all things Ducati so just ask. Also Stein-Dinse GmbH are a well stocked and reliable source for parts. Good luck and post up some photos (hopefully it’s not yellow!)
TBay, I guess what your really saying is you fell in love with the sound of the D&D's, sorry I mean those D&D's are garbage I will give you £20 for them. Welcome Cheers Gaz
