I have reluctantly decided to sell my Ducati 900 Darmah SS that I
bought as a project in 2011. She has Dellorto PHM40AS carbs on
bellmouths although I have the steel airfilter boxes and rubber hoses
fitted to others. She also has a Marzocchi top yoke and rear shocks, a
steering damper and has some bracketery fitted to take the fairing
which was missing when I bought it although I have bought a 'universal
cafe racer style' one brand new to replace which is included in the
sale, but not pictured. She of course has Brembo brakes too. The
odometer reads 32890KMs, although I have no paperwork or bills to back
this up, I do however have the log book registered in my name. It
shows 3 former keepers, the last one aquired her in june 1988. She was
first registered on 31/3/1980, reg no is DSL317V , colour blue, frame
no. 950203, engine no, 904157.
I have done virtually nothing to her since buying her blind on ebay (I
know..) I have the starter motor but she is missing the gear from the
starter itself and the chain and having no kickstart fitted I've never
had her running. I tried to turn her over using the output sprocket
and can confirm after much sweating she is'nt seized. The ignition
switch is worn and I can't find the key, but do have one that will
turn on the ignition. I have taken approx 40 photos of her as a pic
can tell more than any amount of words. Shes not too pretty, having
stood in my (dry) shed since 2011 and needs someone to restore her to
her former glory. Feel free to call me on 01773 810794 or 07582 674748
and I'll try to answer any questions. I just have my '92 900ss to look
after and an Alfa Romeo to restore as well as two elderly Alfas that
are our daily drivers, so you could say I love my Italian stuff. I'm
only looking to get my money back which is why I'm looking for £2495
or as close to as possible. We're approx 2 miles from jct 27 on the
M1.
Here is a link to the photobucket album, the first picture is what I
think she looked like when new (pic courtesy of North Leicester
Motorcycles). Please take time to view all the photos.
