Surely thats good order with no issues etc ? How much does a good one go for ?

Couple of grands

Just found out a bit more, sorry for the thread hijack mate but I thought it was relevant here.
1996 last service done at 12,000 and now done 27,000 !
Needs paintwork, tank, new rear tea tray, new rear shock, wheels put back to standard colour and probably a total strip down to redo the frame etc.
He wants £1000, I'm thinking closer to £500 ?
Good points, totally unmolested standard and no mods whatsoever

question
ive just bought a plug lead set from magnecor and the coil ends have no connector ?
how do they terminate at the coil end on a m900 ?

I fitted NGK Racing one pieces (no separate HT cap); they screw into the HT coils.

hi dr
when you say screw in you mean the bare ends ?

Mr Gazza · 07-10-2013, 06:58 PM

If you have a peek down the hole that the HT lead goes in you may see what looks like the point of a little brass woodscrew.
The core of the lead just screws straight onto that...It is possible to screw onto the insulation and make a dry connection.

I got my Ducati decals like yours today, and I wondered if you laquered over yours straight away... They say to leave them a week and wipe them over with soapy water, but I like to get that laquer on a bit sooner than that?

Thanks Gaz I suppose the coils connections are a pig to get at.I fit and lacquer over loads of transfers straight away just make sure you apply a bit of heat with a hairdryer after and push any air bubbles out
heres how the old girl is starting to take shape

Mr Gazza · 07-10-2013, 11:24 PM

Thanks Perkles..I am more familliar with the waterslide type decals for my model aircraft which I design and print myself.

She's really starting to look something special now me laddio....Bit jealous of your straight bars, I can't fit them on mine without huge risers, because of the adjusters on my forks.

Are you going to paint the wheels as well?

utopia · 08-10-2013, 02:10 AM

Paint looks rather nice.
Simple but very effective ...just like the bike.

Dirty · 08-10-2013, 02:17 AM

Yes, looking very nice. I like the straight bars too. Hmmm, straight bars or clip ons?

08-10-2013, 08:00 AM

Lovely job on the paint

09-10-2013, 07:53 PM

since ive drained the tank and refitted it i cant get the old girl going
batteries a bit flat but she wont fire at all,should i try a cold start spray down the carbs ?

Have you switched the fuel line (under the tank) back on - I made that mistake about 7 years ago!
Is fuel getting to the fuel pump?
Are the plugs getting damp with fuel?
Have you got sparks?
If yes to all of these, then it might be like mine after the last rebuild - a bit of cold start got it going.
You know if you put too much in as the exhaust headers will start glowing RED!
