DUCATI 900ss Supersport Rebuild - Motorcycle Project : Bike Build : Ep 18 Airbox and Triple Clamps

Super busy at work at the moment so I didnt get to work on the bike until later in the week. Still made some great progress in building airbox and fitting triple clamps. Also opened up a box from Italian Iron Classics that had a mint set of stock mufflers inside.

Love this series. It’s going to be a very clean example

[@turbobike749]

Thanks Joep and yes it will be quite the special bike.

[@TROdesigns]

Thorough as hell! Great build to watch

[@turbobike749]

Just a little break while we are crazy busy at the shop.....then back into it !

[@bigdaddy741098]

The cases look awesome, but I bet they look way better in person. Thanks for sharing 👍👊

[@turbobike749]

They are so nice. Vapour blasting is the bomb...This bike is going to be beautiful mate.

I’ve been following your rebuild from day one and am very impressed with your work as well as your tutorial skills. Keep it up. Cannot wait for the end result. I’ve learned quite a bit from you that I apply for my own little jobs - much less detailed and thorough as I don’t have half your skills. Best regards from a Dutch 1993 900SS owner.

[@turbobike749]

Thanks you so much Hans. Really happy that you are liking and following me on this adventure deep into the 900ss. Honestly I think I have learned a lot myself. Like how to do things not rushed and taking my time using different methods to how I may normally do things. Cheers for commenting too mate.

[@davidpointon3274]

Awsome young fella, great watching the rebuild...

[@turbobike749]

Cheers Daveman !

[@chuckpuglia982]

The cases are beautiful!

[@turbobike749]

They look soo good Chuck !

This clip is Designer approved.

[@turbobike749]

Glad you approve mate !

[@stevesanelli90]

Just a tip, best to use a small zip lock bag to pack grease in to bearings. Less messy & it really gets in. Small bags depending on the size of the bearings. Otherwise, great to witness a classic brought back to life!👌💯👍🇦🇺

[@JimBiddle.]

Will defo try this, sounds like a good idea. Cheers.

[@turbobike749]

Thanks Steve. Great idea mate !

[@turbobike749]

That's a good tip hey Steve.

[@davepaulagaunt1975]

Great job mate. Things are starting to come together 👍

[@turbobike749]

Way easier than fitting Chain and sprockets on a CB750 Four I give you the tip Dave :)

[@davepaulagaunt1975]

Come on mate, nothing like a bit of variety on the job!! 😂

[@mmotorcycles9497]

I’ve always saved my stock pipes off my bikes but so many people just let them go. That’s a nice score to get stock ones in that condition.

[@turbobike749]

Thanks Marc. Yes they are pretty good and Scot was a legend for selling them to me. We used to chop them up or just throw them in the bin years ago.... times have changed .....

[@mikeopenshaw9128]

Great work - thank you for sharing!

[@turbobike749]

Good on ya Mike. Thanks for the comment and see ya next week mate !

[@grahamjeanes1478]

Good score TP....

[@turbobike749]

90% done and only 90% left to do Graham.

[@Shinysideup]

Beautiful work, looks really good, loving the series. Got to love any Ducati.

[@turbobike749]

Ian, Thanks heaps for the comment and yep all ducati bikes are awesome mate !!

On the home stretch 👍🇬🇧

[@turbobike749]

Cheers Paul. Soo much left to do and need to tip some more cash into it now once again..

[@pauls6157]

@@turbobike749 It will be worth in the end, such an iconic machine deserves some money throwing at it 😀🏍💷💰💵🇬🇧

[@ronzelina6682]

Your media blaster does nice work, very pretty. I'm facinated to see how the calipers come back from cerakoting. 😔 too much corrosion hiding under the dirt so re anodising or coating is the only option. Would be interested to see how cerakote holds up on the front calipers in use. Thanks Todd great work as always.

[@turbobike749]

They will be brilliant Ron. He has done heaps before he said. 1000% resistant to brake fluids. I haven't seen them yet be we will drool over them I'm sure. Thanks for always commenting man as apparently this help to get the channel out there in KZbin. And yes the vapour blaster is a wizard !!

[@ronzelina6682]

@@turbobike749ha ha you got me, yes the algorithm helps elevate the channel. If there's plenty of comments! The small arms industry, where Cerakote was evolved , uses it widely. I just wonder how heat soaked caplipers hold up over time, small arms whilst they get hot don't get elevated heat soak. Anodising penetrates to become part of the material Cerakote doesn't- hence the curiosity. Try and keep it 'looking' original, the value in that is incalculable, so many bikes loose value as the 'improvements' are reflections of an owners taste. If the Ex Navy Lawyer ( your Premier ) would let you out of WA then the Bike Exibit at GOMA in Brisbane would show that. The Ducati exibit has some beautiful period bikes. Love your work Todd 👍

[@wilco1v]

Nice project

[@malibu188]

Amazing transformation. Great to see.

[@turbobike749]

Slowly coming together mate !

[@gastonlechef6382]

Hi Todd, i heard that WD40 should not reach the skin, because it may harm your health. I do wear some gloves for that. Again, great job. Watching makes me feel better, Helllo from Berlin.

[@grahamjeanes1478]

Riding bikes makes it heal faster...wd40 is your friend 👍

[@turbobike749]

Good idea Gaston. I will try and wear gloves my friend. Good idea as all this stuff must be horrible for your body. Cheers for the comment and see ya tomorrow with a new upload mate !

[@gastonlechef6382]

@@turbobike749 Looking forward ...

[@Radioactive_Slime]

Well, I’m speechless. Figured it counts as a comment anyway though. Wow.

[@turbobike749]

Thanks for the speechless comment mate :) Hahahaaa

[@kiwihame]

TBH the stock pipes do look great. I core mine though, to give them maximum rumble. I've got a set of Aluminum skin high-rise Termignonis for my 900SSie too.

[@turbobike749]

For some reason I'm going for that "factory feel". I rode a fellas Honda Four the other day and the stock pipes just sounded mint. I have the open mufflers also but chasing the original new bike feel. Thanks for commenting also mate. It helps the channel grow. Much appreciated.

[@MJP3055]

Why put the stock, restrictive, heavy silencers back on. There are still many good performance options available for the SS like SIL Motor.

[@turbobike749]

Just trying to make it semi original. I still have stainless open mufflers as well.

[@wartbiter]

Those rubber battery retaining straps are hard to find. Is there an alternative part that works ?

[@turbobike749]

Gday Paul. I think that you can still buy them as genuine parts. Actually I'm quite sure mate.

[@wartbiter]

@@turbobike749 75910061A finds the part on ebay. I was looking for 759 1 006 1A which got me zilch. Silly me.
