Just a silly point, but there isn't an ignition cut-out on the injected SS, is there? Clutch interlock? Sidestand interlock?

Do they think they're made of...

750SS cush drive play

This is an oddity - there's a certain amount of sideways float on the cush drive/sprocket assembly.

You've got the spacer, and yes, I know it has to go the right way round, and that it's possible to...

I remember visiting the Ducati factory in 1983 (!) when they were still building the bevel valve twins. To check the oil flow, they bolted little transparent covers in place of the triangular covers...

Out of interest, what's the highest mileage 748 n(or...

Look, I've got to do the Bike mag used buyer's guide for the month-after-next on Duke 748s.
