Ducati 916 Superbike Full Restoration EP1

Well Folks the guessing and waiting is over as you can see this time around my project is the simply iconic Ducati 916 Superbike! I hope you will enjoy the restoration as much as i am going too :)

So i bought this bike for a fair price since it was needing a bit of work to get it back to its former glory. The mechanicals of the bike mainly the engine im not in the least concerned about as the engine has had thousands spent on it at Ducati and i have all the receipts to prove all of the work has been done, new belts, service history, desmo service etc etc so no i wont be ripping the engine apart but i will be stripping the necessary parts to repaint and get the engine looking new again so that should be a fun little episode to watch.

After the fairings were removed you can see that even underneath the bike is all good, yes there are a few patches of rust starting and some broken and rusty bolts but thats all par for the course and will be sorted out by yours truly. I only found one electrical gremlin and that was the pair of alternator wires that were severely corroded at the terminals due to them not being able to handle the amp but this will be sorted at the rebuild stage with higher rated connectors to stop it happening in the future.

So after stripping the full bike down im glad to say that there are no major issues and it should turn out to be a factory fresh Ducati one ive finished working my magic on it although im still on the fence about the possibility of converting the rear subframe to a monoposto and doing a race replica but only time will tell if i go down that route.

As usual i really hope you enjoy this series of videos and leave a like and a comment to let me know what you think.

Enjoy
