Project: "Ghost"
Picked up my new streetfighter project yesterday. Found a screaming deal on a 1998 Ducati 916. 4200 miles, new Pirelli Dragon Supercorsa tires, 996 front end, Termi slip-ons, aluminum clutch basket. 7 hours round trip in the rain to pick her up. Sounds like a BEAST! 1st owner slid into a ditch and trashed the plastics and headlight and let it sit around. 2nd owner put the headlight on, replaced a clip-on and got it back on the road. He replaced the front fork with a 996 unit that was given to him.
I had a 748 about 5 years ago and loved it with the exception of the ergos. So this one will be different. Dirt bars and a super comfy seat. Also have an open clutch cover on order to release all the Ducati sounds.
Now I just need to find some time to work on it :rock:
