Featured Ducati 800ss “classic”

This bike was from a young lad who fall of after just a week after he brought it.
He smashed the fuel tank,damaged plastic all around and broke some minor parts.
He ask me if I could fix it cheap as he didn’t have much cash at the moment, I felt sorry for him and how his bikers experience had begun so I accepted asking him if it was ok if I built a cafe racer with his bike, After looking at Google what this was he gave me a ok to do what I had in my mind!

 

next step was taking away not needed parts.
I made some new instrument support and begun playing with the new fuel tank design

 

Yes Sr
In the following pics you see the positive mould (plugg) taking shape , finally I gave it a smooth surface and painted it orange.
And ready it was to make the negative final mould

 

No!
I’m an old lad who have been sanded parts until he lost his fingerprints

 

I have a bike at home from a Scottish friend who left it at here when he went with the oil rig to Norway some months ago, As I haven’t started it for some month so my afternoon plan is taking a ride up to the mountains

 

Fresh pics from today’s trip

 

Upper side vas ready and now it was time making the lower part of the tank with fuel pump supports Ets ..

 

One strange thing is that the young driver didn't event suffer scratches and that he wasn’t wearing proper biker clothes!

Bike is done and the young fellow is enjoying it
