Who knows about old Ducatis? M900 Monster 1993

[Laava]

It was the right front disc. My operating theory is that it has sat outside on the sidestand under a tarp for a while at some point. The right side cosmetics are way worse than the left side. Interesting that Monseigneur Galluzzi specced a silver paint for a lot of the alloy castings. Which has mostly flaked off. If I was restoring it I would strip the engine back to bare castings and vapour blast it. But then instead of having a $4k bike that owes me (currently) nearly $7k I would have a $4k bike that owed me $20k!

Here's a youtube series I enjoyed.

I love how they put subtitles on the Scots accent

You can paint the motor complete and to quite a good std easily enough if you are very careful. Smooth Silver Hammerite spray cans x 2 will do the job but you need to put etch primer on first. Carefull application of paintstripper will get rid of all the old stuff, clean up with acetone and get painting.

Nice video series. He did have the advantage of starting with a bike that was very unmolested.
