      Thanks. They have to be red. This one was originally yellow and my first thought was it was to be painted red. Now when it is parked next to the Griso, the flat red on the Griso does not seem as red as the Ducati.

    It is good that you stuck with it as it is worth it at the end of the day and wow the tap shut it's self ..ha! but all of these things are a part of it all with the older bikes and they build your history with it....keep to see and thanks for showing

    L23 👍, wow 90% done then another can of worms, I'm so glad it all worked out at the end, you are a more risiliant man then me. To be honest it's for the love of a bike that sometimes we continue our efforts of old bikes. Nice share looks the part, even though the speedo retired 😊. Stay blessed and safe whilst running it in.

    Big congrats on getting her done!!! Poor speedo.....damn go pro's. It's been a bit since I rode a street bike with a petcock, do you have to turn it for the reserve? Great to see the Ducati out on the road all painted and shit lovely, just lovely!!

    • @RoadsOfOz
      @RoadsOfOz  2 года назад

      Here is the crazy part. The tap just stays open. There is no reserve. Just an indicator light when fuel level is low. I have a feeling it is damaged and I have ordered a new one so this will not keep happening.

    An absolute beauty man, massive congrats on getting it "done". I agree completely on a classic bike never been actually done, always bits to tinker with, that's part of the beauty of them tho eh :P
    Ah who needs a speedo anyway :D Is that off the gearbox, sprocket or front wheel?
    Ah vacuum fuel tap or what closes it? Bloody annoying little things but you learn them all as you go, you'll end up a master of that bike and know everything :)

    • @RoadsOfOz
      @RoadsOfOz  2 года назад

      Thanks for that.
      Speedo comes of a speedo drive on the front wheel. .
      The tap is not meant to close, but it seems enough vibration will close it. Being an air cooled v twin, this might be a problem. I have ordered a new tap as the current one looks like it might be past its best.

      I was amazed at how cheap they were in the US. Seeing 100% jake get one for $1500 (a running 900 at that) just shocked me at how silly our prices are here in Australia.

    I remember this bike from the 90-ies. I had a journal called Tuttomoto.:) It was 1994 I think. It was a nice looking bike and it still is. Somehow it is a Ducati, it will never be perfect, but if this is common to all bikes... Like you said. :) Find you among Saddlebags crew. :) I subscribed. Can check my content. Keep the good work. Thumb up.

    Ive just finished my full resto on my 600 supersport exactly like yours. Would be good to go for a little cruise together one day and chat about our bikes. Im in sydney also.
