Ducati Bevel Twins 1971 to 1986 : Authenticity & restoration guide

Production of Ducati Bevel Twins spanned 15 years, and nowadays a restored bike with original parts will be worth about double the value of one with the wrong parts/detailing.

There have been so many variations over the years that most people have no idea what is correct for a particular model. A would-be buyer's first question is always "how authentic is the bike?", not whether it is beautifully restored.
So this book is a comprehensive guide to authenticity. The content includes colour codes, stripe widths, decal placement, etc. The practical chapters are by necessity broad.

For instance, there were five fork types, more than five shock absorber types (many not rebuildable), more than five brake types and ten different frame types. These practical chapters cover little tricks in assembly and offer general advice rather than a detailed workshop manual-type description.

Features:
- Definitive guide to authenticity
- Detailed description of individual model differences
- Restoration tips and guidance based on years of practical experience
- Correct information for decal placement
- Guide to colours and paint codes
- Advice on how to find the right motorcycle.

Period covered: 1971 to 1986.

Models covered: Ducati 750 GT, Sport and SS, 860 GT, GTE, GTS, 900 SS, GTS, SD, SSD, MHR, S2, Mille.

Das Ducati Schrauberhandbuch - Die Königswellen V-Twins (1971-1986)

Das Restaurieren italienischer Motorräder war schon immer schwierig, und die Restaurierung einer Königswellen-Ducati zählt dabei zu einer der grössten Herausforderungen. Etliche Wechsel in den Führungspositionen der Firmenleitung über die Jahre, unregelmässige Werksaufzeichnungen und viele verschiedene Zulieferer machen Recherche und die Suche nach Herstellungsdetails und Modellvarianten zu einer zeitaufwändigen Aufgabe.

Immerhin ist die Ersatzteilbeschaffung dank Internet und Auktionsplattformen wie eBay inzwischen deutlich einfacher als noch vor 10 Jahren. Aber welche Teile wurden in welchem Baujahr verwendet? Welche Modifikationen hielten wann Einzug in die Serienfertigung? Was ist bei der Restaurierung dieser italienischen Zweiradklassiker zu beachten?

Alle diese und viele weitere Fragen beantwortet Ducati-Experte Ian Falloon in diesem Schrauberhandbuch. Dabei beleuchtet er nicht nur den geschichtlichen Hintergrund der klassischen 750er, 860er, 900er und 1000er Modelle der Baujahre 1971 bis 1986, er zeigt auch detailliert nach Rahmennummern aufgeschlüsselt die Änderungen an diesen Motorradtypen auf. Dazu zählen auch die entsprechenden Farbcodes sowie die Gestaltung und Platzierung der verschiedenen Schriftzüge.

Ausführliche Kapitel zu den Themen Fahrwerk und Elektrik (inkl. Stromlaufplänen) sowie eine praxisorientierte Beschreibung der Motorrestaurierung und Verschleisswerten und Ersatzteillisten vervollständigt diesen nützlichen Leitfaden für alle Besitzer und Restauratoren einer Königswellen-Ducati.
