Ok, so what about if your only option was a leaky wooden shed and the winter is going to be snowy and extremely cold (-20°C)? Put socks over the...
Looking superb. Q: Could I get a similar level of finish from cleaning items rather than zinc-plating? Your swingarm, rear axle and nuts look...
Mate, that looks sick!! Have seen a few Sports before (usually in the clashing blue/red colour scheme), but the grey looks sweet. Reminds me of...
Welcome dude. What refurbishments are you thinking of doing?
So how about a pic of the Diavel?
Having put 500 miles on the bike since getting it running, thought I'd post an update. Bear in mind I'd never ridden a ducati, let alone a 916...
Have a trawl thru ebay.... you'll get an idea soon enough.
Hey mate, this forum is awesome- you'll have that old 2V charging before you know it! Did the bike come with any history? Where did you find it?

Was 30°C here yesterday, ambient temp is warm enough! But yep, will see if we can get it started and will check condition of new oil. Old stuff...
Hey old rider, the bike's not running as yet, unfortunately. Would indeed normally get up to operating temp before doing an oil change.
Yep, filter elements were toast. Will discuss further when I put bike back together. Tyres are from 2004 and are hard as rock. Sticky Pirellis...
Thanks for the replies. I'll paint and protect that nook a little better moving forward. As far as rust goes, inside of the tank is very clean.
Coolant drained, rad flushed, and new coolant added today, along with an oil & filter change. Old oil filter was an absolute bitch to get off. My...
