Hi, I'm new to the list, just thought i'd say hi.

Whilst I'm here I guess I could also use some advice.

I have a UK spec 1990 Ducati 900 Super Sport, (the model before the 92-97 spec 900SS)

Its a terrific fun little bike and is seriously loud on stock cans! But unfortunately the rear shock is pretty much dead. Even on full stiff it pitches me up in the air over bad roads. I wonder if anyone could advise whether a later 900ss rear shock would fit as I can't find a supplier for my specific model.

The front end is pretty soft too, was thinking about maybe fitting an entire later front end. What would I need to measure to safely make changes like this?

Thanks (nice list)

Regards,

Dave
