750ss Cafe Racer Project
 

Here are some pictures of the old girl being stripped down (careful lads, that's my daughter!!:lol: )

Pictures of Red, White and Green frames
Now where have I seen those colours together before

Flatline, I'm suprised you didn't carry out any mods to the subframe before having it powder-coated
Check out the modified subframe on Senna3's frame

Thanks for the comments guys

Probably best to let you know where I am coming from

This is my first project, and as I am discovering there is an awful lot you can do, and spend

I did sit down and have a think about all sorts of colour schemes, wheels and brakes etc etc

However as it's my first project and not a lot of money,(building trade) I decided to stick to pretty much basic colours and equipment and put a nice simple clean looking bike on the road, once that is done, who knows?

I realise that mistakes will be made by not doing things in a certain way

You guys will already know that, as I am new to this, half the time I won't realise that something needs doing until it's too late:(

Even fitting a single headlight will be a stretch, there are the electrics to move etc etc so that's going to be interesting:o

So bear with me, I will hopefully ask the right questions before I go ahead and do something, but probably not always

Mind you, this is fairly basic colours:D

Not sure if I can manage one of these:frog:

I am always open to suggestions of things that should be looked at

Owning a Honda Firestorm, I just get on it and ride! (and it's still faster than I am:( )

Your help and input much appreciated

Regards

I would be considering going with a few Monster parts, such as loom and switch gear and possibly speedo as everything on the SS is based around having a fairing bracket

Ahh, once you say that it seems obvious

Early monsters I assume?

Cheers

Yep from around 94 to 99, either 600,750 or 900 so long as its carbed and the model its from didn't have the electric carb heaters (which I think were about year 2000)

Control relay and Fusbox are mounted under the seat on the Monster, Battery, Igniters etc are pretty much the same position as the SS

You seem to know your way around Ducatis m8

Thanks for the info

He has to his house is full of them :lol::lol::lol:

To true, can't walk around my house in the dark for tripping over Ducati parts

Only 11 complete Ducatis with another 3 in parts, plus all the spares, then I still have 3 Ex Jap race bikes. So yep its a bit full here
