M980 1987 StreetFighters Performance Special - Restoration
The first stage of the restoration is well underway with the great help of Ducati John in Leeds 07746 175112.
I have attached a few pictures to show progress – She should be ready for May 2011 and I will run her during the summer before a full strip down over with winter 2011/12.
Main areas done to date:
Full engine service and major parts check (all ok – few!)
New bearings, springs, bolts, lines……
New clutch slave JHP
New controls (from 996)
New headlight (removed the old mini twin plastic carbon light)
Wheels re-aligned
Callipers re-aligned (un-even wear across the 6 pads)
New seals and gaskets
Re-paint of key engine parts
Re-paint of hangers and hoop
Restoration custom pain work on the tank, seat cover and mudguard (thanks to Martin in Thirsk North Yorkshire 01845 587111)
Left to do:
Work out what to do with the exhaust (will cut down the current one until I can find someone to build me a full new system with a short GP style end can)
New rubber
Get the Nitrous system up and running (it was working ok before strip down so should be ok)
Regards,
Smiler
