...been working on this bike off/on for the last year or so...the idea I have in my head is off "ole blue" the Ducati racer of the 70's. I've redone the paint...when I got it, it looked like this...

...the seat is an HD Lapera solo seat, the rear most cowl is from a 77/78 supersport, and I fabbed the peice in the middle...

Very nice.
Looks to be a very tidy, agile machine.

Looks great Mark. Speaking of Ducatis, you wouldn't happen to have some parts from
the 70's

Lumbee · « **Reply #4 on:** May 20, 2007, 03:38:53 PM »

...oh lots of parts from the seventies

But none Ducati $:-\$

Hey Mark, Looking good there guy!

How does it run?

I think that seat and fairing set it off.

You still messing with modifying gas tanks and swingarms? Just curious how things were going for you? Take care.

Later on, Bill

...super beetle

He's got a vanogan over there too.

Bill, things are going good, I was up in Little Rock a few weeks back...rode the 77 super sport up there (1000 miles over 3 days

), shoud have tryed to hook up with you. Not much gas tank work getting done, and a few swingarms...

wow...that old paint job will surely get you noticed. looks great. fairings are always a good look. I am having a hard time fighting the urge to put one on.

What's wrong with the left sidecover? It looks crooked, and that is throwing everything off for me.

...just didn't snap in all the tabs before taking the pic..

I'm a big fan of 550's and I'm a big fan of silver bikes. I think it is an excellent color choice -- quite a drastic improvement. I think you need to fix the sidecover (it throws off the geometry so much in my eye, it bothers me) and post a bunch more pictures. Does the seat still have that cool chrome insert?

DarkRider · « **Reply #16 on:** June 02, 2007, 11:08:03 PM »

I think hes refering to the part between the seat and the solo tail...aka your filler panel.

jtb · « **Reply #17 on:** June 03, 2007, 07:24:56 AM »

That fairing does it for me. If you ride east, let me know, Mark. We'll get together.

bill440cars · « **Reply #18 on:** June 03, 2007, 10:20:26 AM »

I'm liking that fairing too!

That and the seat really set it off.

I'd like to hear about how it handles with that fairing also.

Great looking bike there Mark!

Later on, Bill

...heres one with the lowers installed...its def. a tight ride...the faring has restricters on the turning radius, so its def. more at home on the track than on the street. Shes going on ebay next week, would love to keep it, but need room for the next project. Bit of a tight ride for my 6'3" frame anyway...

ProTeal55 · « **Reply #20 on:** June 03, 2007, 07:14:41 PM »

Like the bike , looks very tight.
Lower it about 2'' and u will be in the show...
