That looks weird, like a mix of old and new. It's like the top half of the bike is all old and the bottom half all modern. Like two bikes cut in half and stuck together.

Looks good but would look fantastic with wire wheels

A mate of mine has a 900SS FE.

Lovely bike, low mileage and in perfect condition. I don't think it's ever seen any rain.

It was the first air cooled/dry clutch bike I rode and I couldn't believe the noises it made, so different to a modern Jap bike. I do like it though and have a go as often as I can. I know it's completely different but it was one of the reasons I bought the Griso.....

Been building a fiberglass box to go under the seat hump, to house the electrics

Cardboard box covered in silver tape to allow easy removal









Cut some of the frame to open up the rear as well as making an aluminium undertray



Will be welding in a piece to finish the "V"



Cut up my old VTR mudguard to make one for the Ducati, used plastic filler to repair



Covered in silver foil prior to fiberglassing, though I have decided not to go ahead with it



Notice the new twin disc set up

That's coming along very nicely. I like the fibreglass box you have made. Good job.

Keep it up and you will have a very nice bike

It looks so good because of the second braided hose Chris!!

Like the silver mudguard, why you not using it?

Been doing a couple of things to the bike, one of them being the fitting of the electrics box to the undertray





We are getting there..........slowly

Why have you got kitchen knives in your tool collection. A coat of paint on your fibreglass box would be nice.

why bother it'll be hidden under the cafe racer rear end....
looking forward to seeing the finished product flatterz

It will be getting a coat of paint, and the top will need to be hinged

First the bike needs to be build, then taken apart again so that it can be painted, welded and whatever

Then it can be put back together again

you should know the bike inside out by the time its finished
its coming on good

Been playing around with different ideas re the exhausts and thought I would resist the standard reverse cone or Dunstall style

Found some shorties at 9 inches long a 3 inches diameter so not much bigger than the foam I have used

They can supply unchromed and the long outlet will be removed



Some foam mock ups to see what it could look like

All in slightly different positions
