Slow Monster rebuild

350TSS · 02-12-2020, 05:09 PM

First coat of clear lacquer went on yesterday and today the fly screen and seat hump got their decals and another coat of clear lacquer.

The tank decals were also applied but a) they look too small and b) neither went on sweetly, one with a small air blister and the other with a small tear in the top above the C in Ducati.
I used the Cagiva script decals because that matches the script cast into the crankcases and the cam bearing covers. The decals were originally designed for a 750SS fairing and tank. Tomorrow I will remove the tank ones and order some 750SS fairing decals which are approximately 75% bigger.

.

In the painted colour the tank looks and is too big for the proportions of the bike and probably the first, post completion, modification will be to build a smaller tank, 30 to 40mm lower on the top surface.
