Was pointed out to me I have an elephant symbol on the Petrol cap and timing belt cover , Cagiva?
Anybody know the history behind this? Cannot find anything online other than last minute , Ducati pulled the Cagiva branding and put it under Ducati |

Keep a lookout and you'll probably find a few more: check the twist grip body and the air box for starters. Cagiva sold Ducati later in the 90's and the number of Elefants slowly reduced as parts were respecified. Another noticeable change from the change of ownership was the change in Ducati tank logo. Cagiva still own the copyright for the earlier letter style apparently.

Following on from Albie's comments I'll be looking out for the logo on other parts of the bike - probably the parts I'll be removing and upgrading! Like your upgrades to suspension - I've gone with a remote reservoir Maxton shock and revalved / rebuilt 916 forks again by Maxton |

I am curious - why did you choose to change your forks to 916? Are they much better? I have adjustable Showa and will upgrade them at some point this year. I plan to have Maxton revamp the internals but should I be thinking of different forks? I dont want to get the work done only to find that I should have changed the forks first! Any advice you -or anyone else- can give is most appreciated!
