Oh that's yours is it. I Google searched images for references and swiped that for guidance.
Obviously that top image isn't mine to stop confusion but a finish line ideal.

Ok that's good. Horn is wrong then but may have been replaced. I am going to have to get covers stripped of this paint . Hoping to get all the hangers stripped back down very soon as the paints too glossy and spoils it.
Ok spotted the bar ends in the bible and yes cross head large screw.

Was the alternator nut cover fixed with 2 slotted screws. I am thinking cross head or allen key.

Alternator cover plate had slotted screw heads, not hex or cross heads

I've seen worse clutches....

More of a spacer than a clutch. I need to fabricate a drum lock. Some filing to do then.

I'm sure you will use the old clutch plates to make a holding tool.

I don't think you can use the old friction plates and you need to use the toothed spacer ones which are totally reuseable. I have been looking at videos and they have some alloy ones that you bolt to the outer casing. I have plenty of time between now and next year.

Same on both of mine.

Avanti seem to sell a neat one: http://www.avantiraceparts.co.uk/shop.php?id=3&cat=7

This clutch hub and basket holding tool is so simple yet so effective. Made from solid Delrin, a very tough plastic, it bolts into the clutch cover holes and locks both the clutch centre hub and basket in place, allowing easy assembly and disassembly of the clutch. Because it's made of plastic, it won't scratch your case or clutch hub and basket either! Includes grade 8.8 mounting bolts too.

Darren69 · 26-06-2015, 01:05 PM

I've not used one of those before but I've read horror stories of people using that type of holder and breaking the crankcase as its not strong enough to cope with the forces required.

Has anyone tried this:

At £6.82 it sounds too good to be true, and probably is!

I saw this one but says made of composite which I take is recycled battery plastics etc. Maybe worth a cheap punt as it has a built in damper in the plastic.

I would like to make one if I had some spare spacer rings to use but my spacers are not being drilled because they are fine and within tolerance. Not spending money on plates and spacers as they are another £50 plus to the bill.

Seat brackets now remade in steel as per original spec as near as dam it with the kink in to make the seat cowl sit flush with the seat. Once coloured zinc plated will all look good.

Why doesn't the cowl come across to the join line. A mistake by ducati design I think.

Slob kindly sent me a bolt for the footrest. Its not quite the right size Allen key hole but it will at least remind me that this one has an earth connected to the back with a nut so make sure you don't try undoing without removing it first like I did.

The nut on the back is hard to notice from the front or even the back.

That's all folks but tomorrow should be picking up some correct front discs to refurbish the centres and have a matching pair. And get some tips on the clutch and engine related stuff from a well known expert.

Albie · 27-06-2015, 07:01 PM

I was at work today so made a detour to see Kato for a number of reasons.

Good to catch up as always
He graciously GAVE me a pair of early front discs suitable for my 900 as 1 was odd.
I so wanted to see this Hybrid Monster bike.

Got there just as Moto GP was about to start so rude not to accept the sofa a dog companion ( that allegedly farts ) and a cup of tea.
Was quite weird sitting with Rossi's greatest fan and him winning

.. Great race though to the end.

Out to see this lightweight bike and wow it certainly is light and dripping in goodies we can only dream about. I cant wait to see it running around somewhere and boy if its that light it should handle well.

Anyhow I got gifted these front discs by Kato

and really appreciate it as it helps me make it at least look right with that odd front. Now the only down side was they were well grubby and needed cleaning up as also covered in Knight Racing orange paint spatter over 2 sides.
Not perfect by anyone's means but you know me and like to clean up cr4p components to as new.

So got back to work and got home around 5pm and Caroline went out on a hens do so best get in the garage and attack them.

1 hour later they are at least respectable and need minor flattening levelling around the bolting holes before a good respray. I must make sure the holes are cleaned out too as paint can flake in those places but there is plenty of meat left and no distortion.

Does anyone know a good colour match paint offhand similar to brembo colour.

Before cleaning. Note the orange tinge.

After phase 1 clean up.

The disc that's wrong from a later model. Will be cleaned up as will other side as a spare

Pedro · 26-06-2015, 02:13 PM

Use the old steel plates to hold the drum. Line them up and drill some holes to bolt them together then bolt a bar to them to hold it steady. That nut is much easier to get undone with an air gun

Kato · 27-06-2015, 09:14 PM

looking nice can I have them back now..................

Oh and tossii didn't win he cheated and cut the corner just after trying to knock Marc off
