Thought I'd share some of the process I have been going through with my bike - It was a 1992 ducati 900ss - non original but in pretty good nick - I hated the rear end and wanted to see more metal - and have been inspired by the bikes on bikeexif
My process has not been to have a clear idea and build the bike from the ground up - hope to do so one day - but has been alot more trial and (lots of!) error - more an evolving process with the bike not being off the road for too long - and have worked on whatever I think helps improve the look and feel of the bike as I go along
It is a blast of a bike to ride
Here is an earlier version with a bikini faring and red rear seat cowl
Here is an early dash
Just having stripped the paint on the tank
Stripped with no bikini - sounds good!
With a pack rack almost ready for a trek ... over 3000 kms if all goes well
" />
Have replaced the dash with one that has tacho and speedo
Next targets for evolution include sorting out the colours of frame/wheels - gold wheels maybe ... replacing plastic with metals ... redo seat cowl ... sorting out all the wiring properly ...
In a couple of days I am going to ride the bike from north of Auckland down to Cromwell - or at least that is the aim. Hopefully down the West Coast ..... and maybe up the East Coast of the North - depending on what state the bike and the rider are in ....
Should be one hell of a ride
