This 1979 Ducati 900SS was bought in 2016. It is in excellent
running condition and looking great at 44 years old. The paint
has good luster and the engine is clean and surfaces have
minimal oxidation.
The original owner is said to have had a tip over and then not
ridden it for many years. The 2nd and previous owner got it
back to really good shape. I went through all the finer details
and freshened the bike up from 2016 to 2019.
It has 1273 miles on it. The mileage can’t be guaranteed,
however the engine is very clean and the cases had very minor
case wear observed when a Bevel Heaven case saver was installed.
I have put 1000 miles on the bike, mostly mountain rides in the
Sierras.
Equipment includes gold Marvic wheels, Ohlins DU 140 shocks,
triple Brembo disc brakes with Galfer stainless-steel braided
lines as well as more recent Dell’Orto PHM40 carburetors, Conti
mufflers, a wrap-around fairing with a clear Gustafsson
windscreen and a stepped two-up seat.
New parts include a reproduction kick starter, Dynatek coils,
Marvic wheels with Avon tires, foot pegs, Woodcraft clip ons,
LHS switch block, Ohlins shocks, Galfer brake lines, Brembo REC
15mm brake master cylinder, Brev-Orlandi fuel taps, regulator,
O-ring aluminum intake manifolds, MBP valve collets, wiring
harness. Turn signals and a Rizoma mirror were also installed,
the bike did not have them originally.
Parts
and my mechanic's labor total just over $10,000, my labor was
more than another 100 hours.
The tank is refinished and was painted red at some stage. Work
involved upgrading items to make it a good rider that is
properly detailed (era correct clamps and fuel taps for
instance) as opposed to being perfectly original. I also like
wiring cable ties and wiring sheaths to look professional and
spent the time to get the small details right. The paint shows
some stress cracking but presents well.
All original parts have been kept and are available for sale
separately. These include the original carbs that were replaced
by former owner (I didn't put them back on as it runs well with
the current carbs), wheels, single seat, round front brake
master cylinder, kick starter, shocks, coils, footpegs, LH
switch block, horn, intake manifolds, Tomaselli clip-ons.
The
original carbs, single seat, wheels and front brake master are
included if the bike is sold for the asking price.
The PHM40 carburetors are jetted for the 4-5000’ altitude in
Reno NV. I have receipts and a spreadsheet that summarize all
work done on the bike along with the current
jetting that is
available upon request. The valves were adjusted at around 300
miles and MPB collets were installed by DynaReno, Reno NV. The
previous owner replaced the ignition pick up wiring, the
original wires commonly broke down due to immersion in engine
oil.
Power is delivered
to the rear wheel through a five-speed transmission and a 520
drive chain. The rear sprocket is a 39 tooth with Titan Tuff
Finish by Sprocket Specialties, the front is a 16 tooth. They
give a shorter 2.44 drive ratio that gives a better jump off the
line and keeps the bike from lugging.
The bike is
registered in NV and ridden several times a year. I am selling
the bike to fund other projects.
I ride and
maintain my bikes with great enthusiasm. I am open to chatting
and answering any questions that you may have. I can share more
photos and videos.
