Ready for summer. A shop called Brown Davis repaired and pressure tested the tank leaving most of the paint intact so that only the hinge area required a touch up to protect it. Me mate has time to decide what he wants to do for future colour schemes. He'll probably pick up another tank and have it prepped then painted. I have been told Brown Davis have made tanks for the military including the US. I saw a tank about a cubic meter in capacity that had been dropped from 9-10 meters while full as part of the testing regime. It was dented but intact. The guy that does the welding said he sees quite a few Ducati Monster tanks.

Nice bike. I do enjoy the 900 motors.

Yeah the pre 95 colour was more silver bronze with gold fleck, more champagne like.

Thanks.
Is that the earlier colour or the later 916 Gold? Our dealer told me they no longer stocked colour samples anymore.
I have found touch up Ducati colours which I ordered from the U.S. but had to either colour match or find an auto colour that was close for larger volumes. I thought the frame colour changed in 95.

What's the name of the Ford colour you used?
2001 Ducati  Monster 900S ie
JE high comp pistons, bit of porting, open airbox with DP filter, PC3 with custom map, CCW matched injectors, Termignoni cf slip ons, 14:39 gearing.

Gone but not forgotten!
Honda VFR800i, Honda CBR600F3, Honda CBX750, Norton Commando 750S, Suzuki GS750, Yamaha XT250, Kawasaki Z250, Kawasaki KX80, Honda XL250, Suzuki TC100.
