Eventually I will convert it back the original fairings....like I said parts for olders duc's are hard to find here. For now I just want to get the bike back on teh curvys where it belongs.....some great driving roads up here oldest mountians in the world ya know. When I got the bike it was a track bike so just getting it back to a street bike was a little challenging. Like I said though for now I'm just getting it back on the road and strechings its legs. I will accumulate all the original parts over time...I do stil have the original side fairings for it but thats all. I have had a number of british roadsters over the years though I have done the same thing with.....a 76 Midget it was a concours restore though....a 76 spitfire with a mazda rotary in it......and a TR6 with a SR20DET motor shoved in it.....yes the cars looked the same in everyway till you opened the hood.....The spitty and TR6 would absolutly destroy the stock counter parts but retained all the flair and handling of the triumphs I love.

Please dont take the reply,s to this thread as criticism CH , There just observations from 851/888 Ducatisti who revere these early superbikes and all they represent . At the end of the day its your bike so get it running and get out there and enjoy it

Oh welcome to the site!...If you get her on the road without too much change and can eventually put her back to her former glory, ignore this lot! You know what you have in your garage...so ride her nicely and make her look pretty when you have the right parts!...
Oh! Mines a drambuie if your buying!

CH - you owe it to Ducatidom to put this ultra rare 851 back to original - if you can. Enjoy.
