The Dogcati

I think you will find they also wore sweat bands on wrists to avoid I guess sweaty hands losing grip on the racket. Not sure if both wrists, they only use one racket at a time I believe but I think it should be two and two balls. Gotta be something to make the game interesting.

Maybe solar heating of the reservoirs was suspected in hot countries? One person did it, then. . .

According to Ducati:

Widely used in the Racing sector, it has been designed to preserve the bodywork from accidental leakage of fluid, as well as to protect the fluid against UV rays that may cause it to deteriorate. It improves the aesthetics of the standard reservoir.

They are called socks BTW.

I'm about to do the same. They don't seem to last long.

I went through the video where i got the screenshots of the pics of the yoke-mounted brake and clutch reservoirs.
This is what is described as a completely original, never ridden 1991 F91 Corse ex-dealer/importer display bike
If this is true, then it turns out they came with a reservoir sock sweatband armband as std.
Although this version is the slimmed-down svelte edition rather than the Baywatch one, and looks more like a hair scrunchy/hair tie to me.

Hours of thinking about it, ends in just a few minutes of doing it....
I still need to tidy it up a little bit with a file and some scotch-bright.
I think I'm going to have to make the double thread stud as the original piece is NLA.
A shoulder bolt would work and is KISS.

EDit wellf-ed up there the yamaha part is 10mmx8mm i needed 2x6mm or 6mmx8mm
I have also figured out how to do the floating caliper that is captive for aster wheel changes i will draw it up later but its pretty simple.
This will be for Mark II as beklow on Roches 89 bike

Im currently on Mark I ie get it running as below, nearly right but going is good enough for now

The spare wheels arrived a while back, one even has an ancient wet on it.


i have never repainted wheels than where in such good nck while i would like to powdercoat but $$$$$do not curently stretch tothat onwhatisa budget pre 89 racebike.
So I assume just mat them down with scotchbright or wet and dry then tackcloth clean with Acetone and primer, then paint white and a decent gloss over.


One of the greatest things about Ducatis of this period is the wheels were very similar on a lot of different models SS Monster ST2/4/s and even the front on 748/916/996 etc.
Hence its easy to get extra sets.

This is a better pic how the tank mounts on the ''Pantah'' rubbers Well, it would be if KB attaching the photo wasn't a bit more broken than normal.
