What’s up guys? Just making some final touches on the old 900SS project. I was browsing around the internet and came upon a pretty cool site. It is called Wounded Duc dot Net. Check it out if you are into retro Ducatis.

So, my 900ss was missing this plastic piece you see up top. That way, water or mud won’t jump up into the wiring and gauge cluster. I actually got it for $5 from the website. Not bad huh?

It should arrive within a few days. Stay tuned and see what else we got in store for this project!

What’s up guys? So, finally! Here is the 900ss revitalized! Check out the pictures first!

I gotta tell you, the hardest thing about owning this bike is getting parts. You remember the installation video? Well I kinda had to rig a lot of it because I only had about half the bolts and pieces. So I had to order them from Ducati in Italy remember? So, uh yeah, I ordered them around Thanksgiving, and yeah they didn’t come in until well this week!

Finally finished is all I could think! Until I looked at the subframe that held headlight. Yeah, it was bent; not from me mind you, another left over from the previous owner. So I brought it in to Desmoto Sport in San Francisco to have them straighten it and install the fairing (hey at least I have paper work on all the installation right?). Well voila look at my pictures! The Ducati 900SS SP is a thing of beauty now.

Stay tuned guys! Peace.

What up guys? So, we’ve been focusing a lot on cosmetics here on our project 900ss. It was turkey day and one of my friends saw my bike and pointed out to me how dirty my bike was.

So we took out the toothbrushes and got to scrubbing! Check out the cleaned up engine pics. Plus we cleaned both the K & N air and oil filters.

While we were at that, we also installed a new power regulator. The previous one was putting out 17.5 amps, when in fact 14 is what is required. The new power regulator is an upgraded unit from Ducati.

That’s it for this week guys. Stay tuned. Peace!

What’s up guys? So, as with any project, there are times when you feel that everything is at a loss. You can’t find parts, things just won’t fit, etc.

In my case, my wallet is hurting, big time. Every time I bring in the 900SS for a small fix, the mechanics seem to find another, bigger problem. But, all is not lost. While at work, I was surfing the net and found this beauty of a motivator.

What up, folks? As promised, here is part two of the side fairings saga. I’m just going to show you a quick step by step way of putting the fairings back on to the bike. Nothing special. Just wanted to point out the special spacers that the Ducati 900SS has that you folks probably have never seen on Japanese motorcycles.

Alright guys, stay tuned for more. Peace!
