SS Gallery

Congratulations, looks like the perfect winter closet for any sleepy motorcycle.

 

congratulations, wishing you many happy miles together.

 

Lovely, any other jobs need doing?

 

Rubber seal around headlight needs fitting.

 

They all do!

 

A few bits and pieces, a general tidy up, new levers, new screen, there are a few marks on the fairing to sort. I've already fitted a vented clutch cover, braided brake lines going on this weekend.
Dropped the carbs of this morning and they are going to give them a really really good clean. Then once the bike is sorted it's set for a dyno run etc etc

 

Not mine .

 

Get you!

 

It's looking a little less together today
In the list of stupid things I did this morning - we were in a rush to get out of the house so grabbed the carbs, put them in a box and headed off to drop them to Slick. I was an hour from home, just heading into the 30 limit near the airfield his shop is on when I remembered the carb rebuild kit was still on the shelf at home. Stupid stupid stupid stupid stupid..

 

Just out of interest how’s the underside of the tank?

 

Fine (I think) - I'd cleaned the tank up the other day and didn't spot anything untoward.
Anything specific I should be looking out for ??
Thanks !!

 

Yeah blistering/ bubbling paint particularly around the left hand side close to where it meets the seat.
Something like this.

 

Finally back from the paint sprayers!

Looks superb

 

Nice photoshoot with those scattered autumn leaves.

 

Back from the painters?

That would of been the perfect chance to get it painted in the right colour!

Missed opportunity right there

 

Congrats mate, looks in nice nic

 

Running nicely now - bit of a flat spot at 5.5k but I think that's due to stock jets / drilled airbox - will be sorted on the dyno at some time in the future.
I figured the crash helmet is pretty appropriate for a Ducati

 

Fresh, but fun couple of hours out on the little B Road buzzer baby SS.

 

Unusually warm for November, put a few miles on the SS.
