Restored to full glory

Before the accident it looked like this id owned it since 2003 its a 2000 M750 with stage 2 dynojet , some porting , Sils , open airbox ohlins 8.5nm springs in forks ,
it was always my favourite Ducati of all my collection Theen kat fell off it.

Now after almost 3 years work and many modifications It is a tribute to 1974 750S which I will never be able to afford but always wanted when i was 16 , my mate has a real 1974 750s and its currently valued at £90,000 he bought it in 1975 for
£1700 when he was an apprentice on 4 years HP

My bike has the RAL 1028 which Ducati say is the nearest colour to what was used in 1974 only thing im not happy about is the decals my ex painter did not put the correct ones on and they are not where I told him to put them , the bike has an Ohlins PRCS 46 fully remote reservoir rear shock , polished cases , uprated Coils ,lowered foot pegs , and many other subtle mods and additions , Frame and wheels powdercoated in Anthracite Mettalic , lots of stainless fittings and fasteners ,Suzuki headlight diamond cut , superb beams .

Im very happy she runs great , handles like a dream and ride is very swish and compliant but still sporty , been offered £5000 for it already but dont want to sell ,
will sell my other M750 soon , and get on with the 1991 750ss renovation

forgot to mention the Contagiri CLAUDIO aftermarket tachometer and instrument cluster replacing the idiot lights ,a quality bit of kit

Tyres are Bridgestone BT016 very sticky and confidence inspiring ,,

That Jerry is one very tidy job, well done sir! Like it,like it a lot

Mark64 · 18-06-2022, 05:36 PM

Very nice Jerry, I particularly like the pantah cambelt covers, and it looks like a modern homage to the original 750 with the old style font on the tank, the bike looks astonishing and is a credit to you, I raise my glass to you sir, cheers fella.

PS. I hope your daughter is now fully recovered too.

Still got the S4 to finish in Thailand now started on the 750ss ,, and I have another evil plan to build a new 1977 Norton Commando Mk3 from new /old parts with all the latest updates over next 4 years

Nice colour. It is a shame about the decals but if you can live with them that's good. Seen worse though. Great job

Nice. I love a yellow bike and 750s colour scheme in particular (mine has colour-scheme inspired by this too…).

Hi Jerry, Love the look of the bike. But I can't help myself.....being a pedantic 35yr tyre industry veteran, that rear tyre is a BT021. The front is the 016. Is that what you meant or paid for? It's an OK option anyways. Softer, sportier front tyre with a sharper profile, and a longer life sport/tourer on the rear. The two profiles won't affect anything and will work on the road together. No one will notice unless thrashing on a track. They will have very different wet weather characteristics though. Be aware of that.

Thinking about it the front is a BT016 the rear was a BT016 but I think as its new it may be BT021 I will have a look when I get back home in 2 weeks from current offshore job
I like them a lot bike seems to handle better with BT series tyre than previous Pirellis or Metzlers ????
