1976 Ducati 900 Super Sport For Sale
DM860SS 086413 DGM
ENGINE 086693 DM860.1
I purchased this bike back in 2005. I was told that it had ben
sitting in some ones laundry with sheets over it. It was
complete, in terms of all original parts were on the bike and
just needed a good clean and restoration.
The bike was completely stripped down and fully restored by
myself over the following 10 years. Wherever possible, NOS parts
were purchased along the way to replace older parts that were on
the bike.
It is probably easier to list the
parts that are non original:
-
Windshield is a replica.
-
Rubber around the side covers
is from Bevel Rubber.
-
Aftermarket Voltage Regulator
(original is supplied).
-
Wiring Loom (original ones are
completely extinct).
NOS parts list (major items)
-
A perfect NOS JOD headlight.
-
Front brake Master Cylinder.
-
Verlicci hand grips, bar end
caps and original NOS foot peg rubbers.
-
NOS dash.
-
NOS instrument lights, speedo
and tacho.
-
NOS Conti mufflers
manufactured in the 70’s.
-
NOS Cush Drive assembly and
housing.
-
NOS Electric Stator.
-
NOS instrument switch.
The motor was sent to Damien Birch of Bevel Rubber to get a
complete overhaul. Carillo rods and racing pistons were
installed, the crank taken apart and cleaned, all bearing
changed with major bearings being custom made or of aircraft
grade tolerance (meaning very expensive) used. There were no
broken fins at all on the motor and all new valves and guides
were installed as well.
All bodywork is original to the bike and was repaired and
repainted by Paintwork in Melbourne. Paint is absolutely
fantastic. All Aluminium components, such as wheels and engine
cases were hand polished by myself over the years. The left side
engine case still has the timing mark where is should be and the
Boranni wheel spoke nipple housings have not been flattened and
destroyed by a polishing machine! Attention to detail has been
painstakingly maintained in this A grade restoration.
All brake calipers and rear suspension shocks were fully
restored by Bevel Rubber again.
Triple clamps, rear original suspension springs and front fork
housings were sent interstate to get an exact match on black
paint texture. Fork tubes were re-rolled and hard chrome
engineered back to original glory.
Seat was redone by Eldorado Seats – famous for their exacting
high quality reproduction works.
A new wiring loom was installed by Guzzi Spares along with
appropriate relays, using an original fuse box housing. As well,
they fully overhalled and rebuilt the PHM40mm Dell’Orto carbies
that were again original to the bike.
Feeding the original carbies is again the original rebuilt
Orlandi fuel taps with the fuel tank exhibiting no signs of any
internal rusting.
All nuts and bolts were individually bead blasted and then
barrel zinc plated and re-installed back on the bike.
Overall, this bike has taken 10 long years to slowly put back
together as there was no rush on my part to complete it. I never
rebuilt it to ride, its simply too expensive for me to ride,
hence moving it along to more of an enthusiast that lusts after
this sort of machine. I would have to say that this 900SS has
to be one of the most complete and best restored that I have
seen on the market. I have made every attempt to bring this bike
back to original factory specs.
Indicators are NOS from Ian Gawonlock. I used black housings
with reflectors after researching photos of specifically 1976
900SS bikes that came to Australia.
This has been a no-expense spared restoration that will meet the
expectations of the most discerning buyer. Please contact me
for more pictures on my dropbox account. I have original
pictures of when I first purchased the bike and also some during
the rebuild. Bike also comes with its original license plate for
the frame and number plate for the rear. The bike starts and
runs beautifully, with all electrics working, after Rob at Guzzi
Spares did the final touches of putting things back to exacting
standards.
Bike is located n Melbourne, Australia
