    We are up and running so take a look at www.sportsvalve.com and let us know what you think? And if you know of any impossible to find parts you would like making, let us know.
    Kindest regards to all you Ducati folk,

    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
    Interesting, ill get to those suspension pics, so am I correct in thinking that bodywork wise this could be no earlier than 1979. The year the MHR appeared. The engine and chassis is 78 ish

    I am no Ducatiaphobe
    but the MHR was a replica of the NCR race bike
    of around that era.
    but tank and styling is often changed.
    best way to date it is likely the wheel sizes.
    Grumph mentioned the pipes look like CHCH made Harris pipes.
    maybe try and fid some Ducati people that were involved in Bears of that era 80-90's Payne etc.

    Possibly
    They both involve probing into orifices

    You could always send pics to Motorcycle Exhaust Systems asking if they remember it. They built most of the Harris pipes for Graham.
    He's still around too. The one who would have known was Euan Cameron - no not the photographer, the other one who was involved with Harris and in Bears.
    But he died a couple of years back. Better get onto these guys fairly soon. Memories are fading fast among them .

    So here's those long awaited suspension pics, arrowed are what I can only assume are suspension and linkage mount points, they are all 12 mm plate, the other misc tabs are 1-2 mm thick .
    Note that the diagonal tube going up to support the rear hoop has been cut and tucked also, on a gts they normally go down to the swingarm pivot point. Im going to say it was a monoshock with linkages to the rear of the swing arm like the yamaha OW61
    of the same era except perhaps the shock was vertical.

    Looking at the pic in front of the shop with Robert on board, the f&f's got a flat boot. Someone should surely have noticed that.
    I miss Dick. Always went and had a yarn with him, swapping ideas.

    I thought i had posted the stuff from the Streetbike i have posted the pic but going back through here not the story next time i trip over it i will scan it in.
    I suspected that Spider might know a bit more about it.
    Did any of the Supermono's stay in NZ?
    between those and the orginai 916 they rank to me to be some of the most exquisitely styled bikes ever made of that era
