On the way to savannah, ga!

I'd love to visit but I doubt if I'll ever be stationed in HI.

Welcome to the land of strait roads, I'll keep my eyes open for you riding it around town.

   Very nicely done.  Congratulations on the find.  Keep it up.

Any updates?

also, after re-reading your initial posting you mention a possibility of an SSS on the bike.  Well, I have (somewhere) a pic of an S2R swingarm (modified to use the stock lower SS shock mount) bolted to an '00 SS750.  I'll see if I can dig that out sometime in the next week. 

please, and thank you

fantastic!  Can't wait for more updates!

I have the tank back.  I'm currently TDY for 6 months, so I will not be able to do ANY work to it unitl July-ish.  I should make a buck or few so I should be able to finish it once I get back.  So...hopefully I'll have a living breathing Supermonster?...monsterSS?...by fall.

Ok...  I'm not the quickest here...  But, here's the shots of an S2R swinger on a 2000 SS750i.e. I mocked up in 2006 for a project that fizzled.









The rear wheel is off of a '99 996 btw...  If the S2R swingarm was about 1" shorter, I think it would flow with the lines of the SS better, but it's still not bad.  The rear suspension wasn't connected in the photos, there's a 7/8" steel rod holding the bike up.

I have the capacity to add an SS rear shock mount to the top tube of the S*R swingarm if someone's interested in this mod BTW...

I built one back in '99 on a '95 Supersport.  Later in 2003/4 did a lot of artwork concepts of SBK swingarms on the newer Supersport. Never figured out why Ducati never offered this setup (probably cost) -- it's just way too cool looking...

Yeah...  The lines of the S2R swingarm really flow with the 'swoopiness' of the 99&up SS fairings...

How's the SS project going then?
