more time spent in the garage. got all the back end stripped eventualy some of the suspension was siezed but finnaly got it strippped , as i have said before this strada is a bit rough so i dont mind changing it from original please dont slate me for some of my sujestions but i want a diffrent 888 so here goes 1/ strada seat unit is now transformed into a single seat and looks good so far and it still keeps all the original fixins ( apart from the seat lock ) had to cut the subframebut that will get welded tomorrow then powdercoated black. 2/ i am thinking about geting the swing arm and brake holder blasted and coated black and fitting a carbon hugger to give the efect off a full black back end ( the swing arm was in a bad way so it needs some new colour ) or shoud i stay with the silver?? 3/is there any one who can over hall the rear shock?or is it better to get a new one ?? 4/ paint colours / yes i now red but what about the fila colours red and blue wheels etc just give me your views befor i comit to the painters!!!
Maxton will rebuild a rear shock,better than original.Or for a new one try:- s.dorsch@t-online.de German outfit that sells Ducati parts,good prices. How did you join the seat unit parts together,any pics?.
Personally...I would stay away from stuff like Fila colours. Too modern a design to suit the bike and out of character, but then race reps in general don't do anything for me.
I think if I wanted to veer away from red I would go for black as well
