Hi, Completely new to Ducati ownership when I came across a 916 restoration project. I've always been a fan and was looking for a hobby(!) Its going to need a lot of TLC so I would appreciate any contacts for work - the main work is heavy cosmetics to the engine, forks, shock and frame. Cheers Al
Thanks, I know it's been badly neglected but on the plus side it was cheap and is a runner so mainly cosmetics. All contacts and advice appreciated
Awww she looks in need of some tlc good job she has you but your forgot your bins welcome into our mad house
Welcome Alan. A great bike and a good (but sometimes frustrating) time lies ahead of you. There’s a wealth of knowledge within the forum members and it’s unlikely you’ll encounter something that hasn’t been handled by one or more in the past. It looks like you’ve a bike that’s not had the benefit of living in a dry garage and has had to sleep rough . My first suggestion is to subscribe to the forum and get the Halford’s discount card, you’re going to get value for money from it. You’re going to need a lot of penetrating fluid for starters! 2nd suggestion is to start a thread in the Builds/Projects section and the answers to all your questions will start to flow. Good luck with the project and we all want to see a sparkly shiny beautiful bike back on the road this summer.
Great project enjoy the rebuild I've not long finished my 1991 Honda cbr 600 it took me just over 3 years to do Welcome to the forum
