I have been through a lot of the mods and tidied them up, or even reversed them back to standard in some cases as I felt they were detrimental to the bike.

Have to say though, it's still the best bike I've ever brought.

Nasher.
That's why, as I was in the middle of a strip down anyway, I replaced all the fuel and vacuum hoses (I think there was one that is no longer available from Ducati) along with a new tap and pump diaphragm- those kind of things are starting to show deterioration as the bikes get on a bit.

I have to say that in doing so along with replacing all the ground cables the bike turns over and fires up instantly now hot or cold.

I agree with you Nasher- Mine's still the best bike I have ever bought too
