    The OW61 was itself an interim model. It's now a footnote in the YZ500 development. The shock position was quickly found to be trouble.
    It got too hot.

    If your Duc has tabs part way along the arm, It makes me think of the Kawasaki system as used on the first 250 tandem twins of a top rocker with a pair of links off the arm'
    Or the Suzuki full floater setup.

    I'm sure husa can come up with pics of both systems - after which you can look on the frame for other pickup points.

    but some better pics of the Ducati would be better.

    the other reason that short swingarms never caught on was longer ones work better its better to make the engine archetchure shorter by stacking the components or making the heads shorter or tilting the engine or shortening the stroke or making the swingarm pivot the same as the rear mounts as Ducati all did later.

    The alchemy solution designed by the other Henry as used by the above mentioned phil payne was the best solution i seen.

    who used to scrutineer bears Greg?
    i likely have a few old programs from the 90's
    what bevel duke did Dave Moore used to ride?

    Can't remember the scrutineer's name - but he died a few years back anyway.

    The only big Duc that Dave rode to my knowledge was a big belt drive. 850 or so, ex the US with Daytona history. Ex NCR via Reno Leoni. Still in ChCh afaik.

    Might have been Pantah based all i remember it was an odd size like 888 or 851 at the time when no one had a WC 851 or 888
    i remember him riding an Ag100 a TZ and a Ducati one year at Grey around 1990
    You mentioned a Harris pipe i guess the original dude is dead also?

That lasted two meetings I think - until Robert blew the thing to pieces at the GP.

    This Ducati I'd pick was a BEARS bike. I've never seen it in ChCh - but I know Dave Sewell has the mould for that seat and tank. The person i'd track down would be Lindsay Williamson. Currently I think an Indian agent with premises somewhere out Leeston way. Maybe ask Steve Bridge too. It may have been a NI bike back when there was an active BEARS scene there.
    So where did Dave Seawall reside back in the day ? I hadn't considered these were made locally.

    No - that's Dave Morris. And you knew that.

    Dave Sewell will still do glass to order. And he has his enormous collection of moulds still.

    Paul Taylor. Down the road from us in St Asaph St. Last seen last summer. Importing Chinese quads. He had no idea where his moulds are now.

    So on the pic of the bike I put up, is that tailpiece a 79 MHR copy or is it something else. ? It looks kinda MHR to me.

    You never did post pics of the swingarm an shock linkages.

    That tank on your bike is the tank I call the Imola tank.it belongs to an earlier generation.
