My latest project, just about finished !

After buying my 748R from a guy in Glasgow who described it as 'mint' ( which it wasn't !! ) I pulled it completely to bits apart from the engine and have over the past 3 months been building it back together along with cleaning and replacing anything that needed changing.
I sourced lots of carbon and other bling and the bike now looks virtually brand new and will hold its value rather well I would imagine in this condition.
Ducati Glasgow carried out a full thorough service for me before I collected the bike so everything is set for some decent weather. Just a clutch cover to fit and a couple of minor jobs.
Whether my aging bones can put up with the bike who knows but if not an 848 may be my next project !!!

A few photos for the time being,

Thanks Guys.

It took some work ( and parts ) to get it like this but it really does look virtually brand new. The led rear lights do have the flasher function but I am not using it as I have a full set of the Kellerman micro flashers which are really bright and look good. The original rear light looked a bit old compared to the clear light which was the only reason I changed it.

Anyone have a translogic dash for sale, fancy one of those for it as well.
