~ 1975 860 GT ~
Hello Steve, A few pics of my 1975 860-GT. I am the original owner; purchased at Brooks Cyclery in San Jose, Ca. Over the years I have made several changes to suit my tastes and as basic repairs. Let's see how many I can remember ............. Conti mufflers (of course), K&N Filters using Darmah intake tubes, deleted turn signals and horns, lower handle bars with bar end mirrors added, bogus plastic instrument panel replaced with simple aluminum panel, ignition system replaced 1x with Ducati parts and now with Lucas Rita (yes prince of darkness) conversion, 88 mm Bracken 10:1 pistons, valve job & rocker arms replaced, new paint (by buddy & me), fried fuse box replaced with Radio Shack parts, switches replaced with simple toggles, Mulholand rear shocks, numerous adjustments, tires, oil changes, etc. This bike has been a joy to ride and always brings a smile to my face. It has been all over the Western US, and as far north as Jasper National Park in Canada. Now that this bike is so old it is getting a lot of attention on the road. My baby boomer buddies have all bought new Harleys, but they can't believe that a 30 year old Ducati can still blow them away (particularly in the corners). Still enjoying this bike.
