Pictures of 748/916/96/98 Specials ??
 

Can anyone point me in the direction of pics of bikes that have been restored (only word i can think of tbh ) ie paint jobs , or aftermarket parts etc . I'm thinking of getting a 748 /996 and spending alot of time /money to get the bike into A1 spec . I have looked in the gallery and didn't find much .
Hope this makes sense....

You say old...............

Why did Dean sell a bike like that

I want one..................................

Thanks for the pics ,, skidlids that bike is thing of beauty , in fact they all are ..

Glad you like it
Still a bit more work to do on it
I bought it as a race bike and then converted it back for road use
Keeping many of the goodies and swapping the more race orientated bits for something more suitable on the public highway

goodies include
Mag Arm
Mag Wheels
Mag Yokes
Ohlins R&T Forks Ohlins race shock and linkage
AP adjustable ratio front brake Mastercylinder
Brembo Billet Radial Cluch lever
AP rear Caliper
FBF slipper clutch
54mm Termi Exhaust
Harris rearsets
Harris Bars
Techtronics Quickshift
Magneti Marelli MT940/B1 Dash

Once I get hold of the right brake plates i'll be fitting AP Radial calipers, AP narrow track discs and a Narrow Track front wheel

So when it comes to specing up a 748/916/996/998 the list is almost endless

Ah..gratuitous photo opportunity lol !!

Heres my foggy rep I put together...

Needed the money at the time.

Very sad to see it go as it was a combination of around 5 years work as a lot of the special mag parts and corse bits were refitted from my previous 748sp / 853.

Nearly over it and back on a late model 999r now

lapman

Old as in it was the bike he had when I first met him and then sold since then he has had a break from bikes but now returned with a new bike which as he says is a 999R.

If I had the money at the time I would have liked his 998R still a few years later and I now have the one that belonged to the late Dave Harris a great guy that I got on well with

natty i love the pics of your bike, you did well with that one matey

what about this, there a lot of mine on here , just trawl through my prevoius post on the subject of mods....

This is still my favourite bike that I've owned;


Not a 996 type, but really liked the look of the DD bike when she was freshly rebuilt;
