Should I buy a cheap Ducati? Part 4. Get Forked!

In part 4 of the cheap Ducati saga Dave was going to strip the rear hub, but a lack of tools meant that job had to wait, so he got forked instead!
With the cases away at the powder coaters and parts from Ducati on their way (eventually) from Italy, Dave tackles more chassis work

Excellent series! So regret selling my 888. Video right way now! Ace!

[@DoRC]

Video is soo much better! Thanks!!

[@rulechange6329]

Shame not more detail on fitting the seals, rebuilding the forks and then refitting to yokes, alignment and front wheel refitting! Great videos though

[@neilgooders6758]

The only problem with this series is... I want more haha another great video buddy I’m really enjoying the educational part of it too

[@greggan100]

Love these videos, i could listen to you all day, 👌👍

[@danielmcnally9352]

Haha you know it’s a big job when the old Alstom overalls come out every man and his dog has worked for them an has a set myself included. Great series been eyeing an old 748 or 916 up myself an this is just making me think more and more it’s a good idea look forward to more episodes 👍🏻

[@peterpreen752]

[@woooster71]

Excellent series.. I had a 916 back in the day.. Current project is a slightly furry ‘99 RRX Fireblade.. My Aprilia RSV Factory takes great interest in me skinning knuckles & swearing a lot lol I’m now looking for a 3rd bike.. note to self, stop looking at eBay! 🙈

[@obsession_engineering]

Great to see your still very involved with bikes Dave.....you've come along way since the ss400 days.

Great series, you’ve earned a subscriber

[@karlsumner5594]

Really enjoying these videos. My 748 was written off in 2002, as was nearly myself. Haven’t ridden since but would love to do a project like this. It would be interesting to know how much you had to spend when it’s complete.

[@obsession_engineering]

I'm keeping a track of all the costs and will detail it all later. Thanks for watching

Nother top vid David

[@TheOriginalCoda]

Dave, my 748's discs are about 4mm thick measured with a vernier... I think the service limit is what, 4.5? Also, did Ohlins ever make a cartridge kit or a shim stack kit for these forks? My Showa forks have Ohlins stickers on them from a previous owner, dunno if it's for show(a) or not 🤦‍♂ Also also, with B&C express now only selling to trade 😒where would you recommend us public scum get bits from now? Thanks for your time, but realise, you owe me. It's cos of you I bought this bloody thing! 🤣

[@obsession_engineering]

They probably have Ohlins springs, although it's difficult to confirm. They didn't do cartridge kits for them. I can supply most parts, drop me a message via the website Obsessionengineering.co.uk
