The Duck flew in
« on: May 27, 2007, 09:13:05 AM »
The Duck has arrived ;D 74 750GT

The Duck Hunter had to lead it in ;D ;D
Overall it has the potential to be a nice bike, I was actually expecting worse.
Need a tach and mufflers and few other bits. It has forks off of (I'm guessing)
a Ducati SS since the right side has the mounting bolsters for the extra caliper.
Rear brake is mechanical and I like that!

This will be a ground up build so maybe by next year I'll get the Duck flying again!

Keep us posted on the progress. I bet you can't wait to quack open the throttle when she's done. ;D

Oh lord, Bob. If it quacks when I open the throttle I'll be pretty disappointed  ;D ;D

I agree, one star reduction! I'll be posting more as I get into it I'm sure ;D

The 750F is sitting there looking menacingly at the Duck right now, might not
be nothing but feathers left when I go back out to the shop ;D >:(

Does it run as is?
and if you don't mind me asking, what kind of coin did you drop on it?
Lots of potential!

Yeah, lots of po-tential.  Po-tential, as in living in the po-house!

Seriously, I love those old Ducks.

Good luck with it.

thanks all, it should run once I clean the carbs. Coinage was to pay the shipping from
California, it was a gift from my cousin out there who has another one.
Really isn't missing to many parts and the biggest cost will be wheels I suppose.
