Question info on 620 ss race conversion?
thinking of buying a 620 ss roadbike to convert for next season.
would need end cans - any idea where & how much?
are the suspenders up to racing with my muscular 13 and a half frame onboard, or does it need work?
do the suspension adjusters work, or just click for a placebo effect, like a jap. bike?
any pitfalls i should take in before buying?
cheers fella's!

Actually, you got me thinking

We should have a 'How to convert your Ducati to a DD racer' page on the www.DDRACER.com website.

Have you bought it yet?

Parts are no more expensive to buy than Jap stuff.

A couple of race silencers, re-sprung shock, race fairing etc.

All can be found on flea bay or on here.

The bike you've talked about seems nice, buy it, ride it, prep it, race it and grin like hell

if anyone has any bits, let me know!
would probably need a race clock bracket as well - would be fitting a 916 fairing.

Why?

What's wrong with the Sport fairing? It fits already.

You're a complicated man aren't you
