l note the split FCRs on short manifolds into MBP heads. You're a harsh man. :D


You ain't getting out of this one easy.  ;)

Personally...

I prefer to leave the SBK plastics out of the SS builds.

That's just me.

The classic SS fairings are beautiful. Acres of red with understated decals for me. Im starting to want to preserve the original looks on these older bikes but for a tail tidy and subtle touches.

I'm pretty sure it was you that told me that running the TM's past 15-20 deg angle would be tuning wise entering,  "a world of pain" ;D.
That splits the difference! I would definitely keep the SS as a fully faired bike.

I think that was for the FCR's.

That red #67 that Kopf posted, the FCR on the horizontal cylinder is laid over a *lot*, nearly vertical downdraft!
The dude at Sudco led me to believe that the FCR's wouldn't tolerate that.... but I keep forgetting I've got to consider the source.... :P

Iirc I also sought your advice about TMs and their horizontal float bowls. I know a bloke who ran them on Malossi manifolds on his 900SS,  he bored them to 40.5mm. I bought them off him and  was going to try them. I wont forget your "world of pain" comment. :)

My best chance short term is a customer project. I really want one for myself,  but I am due to start one this winter on a 1994 900 Monster with FCR 41s and the aforementioned engine specs. I will report on that in a couple of months. Maybe I can convince my buddy with the Superlight to try short manifolds. ;D

Nice job. The carbed ones should be restored in keeping with the overall original looks, but I dont mind them butchering the injected ones, because thats the right thing to do. ;D

Just got a MTS 1100 and really love the tourqier engine, nothing wrong w a modded 900 though.

Go w the SL project, bet it`s more interesting for you w the carbs etc.
I think Ducati had a design peak first half of the 90`s.
