Thanks for the swift replies people, much appreciated.
This is the first Ducati Forum I have found where I have been able to actually get decent advice and I shall be applying to join the DSC forthwith (if my old girl qualifies) But I know I read somewhere you only liked "recent" Ducatis?
Anyway FYI the guys at Maxton have replied already, less than a working day!
Here's what they had to say:
DUCATI 900SS EARLY7 The forks are standard Marzocchi M1R type . There is damping in one side only. They give a very harsh ride. We do a fork conversion which takes out all the valving from both legs and fit our own valving system. Cost £230 plus VAT. The rear unit is a Marzocchi unit and cannot be modified, the spring rate is approxamatly correct. The only thing we can offer is a replacement Maxton high pressure gas shock. Cost £405 plus VAT. We do not consider it necessary to fit a remote unit on this bike.
What do you think?
Not Cheap at all - but I really want to discover what this bike can do when set up nicely as the engine is sweet and has just had £1500 worth of work done.
I reckon I might get this done and make the old girl a "keeper"
Although I had wanted to go touring, and would need a new bike, but I suppose I still could go touring although the 13 litre tank doesnt help?!!!
Anyone riding to WDW 04? (frequent fuel stops guaranteed!)
