lack of love, no chain slips poor 748 has been in the wars, so far have done the frame, now swing arm and the wheels and going to build into a roller for him
Original top yoke sourced and swapped over tonight, couldn’t stand the polished one that came with it. Found this while looking through the spares the other night!
What makes for an exciting Friday afternoon… This little bugger having a split in it! Not quite what I had planned. Could have been much worse.
Well tonight has been an interesting night, popped to see the chat with the swing arm I repaired and came home with his bike… I don’t however want it. It’s a 95 748 with 853 kit fitted it’s all there as a project I’ve recently done the wheels and the frame, not sure what to do now ♂️ few items il be keeping though….
Few items from the guys at moto rapido today, including oil filters thought both bike deserved a change. airbox items to get the carbon airbox fitted up. Excited to see how it looks against the yellow. really excited to get the 50mm fitted to the 996 also not sure I like the look of the titanium cans as much yet but we shal see!
Years worth of joy from the yellow bike! Passed its mot again, and also go the carbon airbox fitted up!
Finally got round to fitting the new forks I collected a while back, new oil and seals by Paul at PGP, new set of pads and I’m so much happier with how it looks, nice factory feel again
Hey Olly, been a while since our last catchup. You certainly don't hang around - the 996 looks soooo sweet. Amazing job and the attention to detail is what makes it stand out so much. You've caught the Ducati bug well and truly The wheels you coated on mine was an amazing job. I also found an Ohlins shock too though I need to have the bike set up for me. Very interested in PGP - sounds perfect for what I'm looking for. I'm well overdue a catch up with you. Look forward to it. Dave.
PGP turned my slightly wild MV F3 800 RC into a highly focussed track tool in one suspension set-up session. I ride it so much faster now I have gone completely mad and bought a rear shock upgrade. Shame he couldn't help me with my lack of talent
Paul at https://pgperformance.co.uk/ is very knowledgeable, a perfectionist and good value - highly recommended.
Bike is looking great mate! yes welcome over any time! Give Paul a ring hes a great guy he's done the 916 and the 996 and it really does transform the bike!
Small update on the 853’d 748 motor…. Cases blasted and ready to be re finished, new bearings all ordered…
