The 600 doesn't really need extra brakes (even early 750's were single discs) but I think they look better with a twin disc set up. There's always plenty on ebay and you can just run another single braided line down from the master cylinder so an easy add on.

I know it wasn't a criticism Flip, I totally get where you're coming from with it. Perhaps I should have communicated better with him.

The braking power is certainly good enough but the monsters do look lush with dual front brakes. I've been scanning ebay and only found a complete 900 set up so far. I'll keep my eyes peeled.

Yes I'm paranoid about sending mine to paint without being able to give them the rolling chassis to get it lined up before its painted.

Bike looks great btw

Hi Great job I have just sold my 900 (not sure it was the best idea) but still have a 750 so might be pushed to do it up seeing yours, although really fancy a smaller Duke.
I had a 600 for some years it was just to keep me going whilst I finished a Laverda but it was so good I kept it for a few years.
The 600 I had got a second disc up front and yes it did stop bloody quick but worked fine on one, actually could ride it fairly quickly as it did not get out of shape or road as easily.
Good luck finishing the build Noel

Didn,t think I was going to like this one , but now it,s nearly done I gotta say Kev, it,s turned out really cool.

Dirty · 19-01-2016, 09:55 AM

Wow great job, well done.

19-01-2016, 11:04 AM

Nice job Dude.

Looks better than new!

Nice job Kev. I always liked the old bevel engine Black and Gold 900SS, pure class.

I don't mean to be a naysayer but someone on here mentioned some time ago that they had had an MOT fail because of the pillion seat and lack of rear pegs, I've not had the issue myself despite having both 750SS and 748Bip with no pillion pegs, although the SS did have a rear cowl.

The bike looks the nuts, well done.

I've had this myself with an old Z1000.
Duel seat but no rear pegs meant it filed it's MOT.

I have a cowl which will be going on, I'm just waiting for it to come back from the painters.

Know what you mean about the angle Jessie, but I don't fancy forking out for another spray job any time soon. Ha ha ha.

Ace job.... Classy!!!

19-01-2016, 06:47 PM

Fantastic look, but the Ducati logo on the tank at that angle would give me sleepless nights when the rest looks so perfect. I do suffer from O.C.D though.

Dirty · 19-01-2016, 08:03 PM

Good point, you'll have to stick a temporary cowl on for the MOT

20-01-2016, 05:40 AM

Excellent ! You put me to shame...

There's always loads on ebay, usually pairs. You have early forks so you need 45mm spaced calipers not the later 65mm type, but I think the disks are mostly the same if they have 6 bolt holes and not 5.

Cheap disks:-
