1974 Ducati 750 GT

The bike has a new very professional "stock" burgundy and black paint job, new metal tank badges and new side cover badges. The striping is all done by hand and is the correct off white toward ivory, per original. All the dimensions for paint locations are as per a noted expert, bevel barbarian and well known belt buckle maker. I was told the only problem with the paint was it looked better than the factory paint ever did. It also won’t fade and craze like the original paint Ducati used. They used to start fading as soon as you parked them in the sun!

Engine:

All new matching guides (they were all different before).

Proper valve job, all ports and manifolds matched (they weren't even close, steps at every joint!).

New liners (the standard bore pistons were fine).

New stainless oil filter (much finer mesh with internal magnet) and magnetic dipstick.

Rockers shimmed for side play without springs (quieter).

Rockers properly centered on valves (slightly off center).

All top end bevel shimming exactly corrected, it’s now perfect.

Cylinder liners are trimmed so the squish band is the same on both cylinders.

Custom off set keys for the cams for each cylinder.

Intake stubs were welded where cracked. The rear is now slightly rotated so the adjustment screw is not behind a frame member, which is the stock location.

The Gear Gazer is useful, you can see when your oil is warmed up.


Carburetors:

New slides, just completely gone through by David Harris at Zen motorcycles and all jetting has been corrected. The accelerator pumps are off line. The bikes run better without them unless you are ham fisted with the throttle. It runs really well!

Chassis:

New Works Performance springs in the front forks with Race Tech Gold Valve emulators. These modifications transform the forks! They feel modern instead of harsh.

Recovered seat (Phil from Road and Race in Australia’s cover).

New rebuilt dash from Bevel Rubber. Everything is new including the dash lights. Note: it has the correct 5 light dash for this model which includes a neutral light; however no round case motor has a neutral switch!

Borrani alloy rims, steel Raedelli rims were stock.

New engine sprocket, rear wheel sprocket and Regina chain.

New rear wheel bearings.

Koni 13” #7610-1418 rear shocks. 13” shocks are considered to improve handling and the rebuildable Konis are better than the stock Marzocchis.

New tachometer cable.

New gasket lining for side covers, new side cover grommets.

Electrical:

New 916 Corsa alternator (180 watts) and a new two wire voltage regulator.

New Sachse ignition with new Dyna coils. RIP Volker Sachse!

New Battery.

Cibie H4 Concave Lens head light.

No turn signals, and the wiring for the left switches is not run through the new handlebars. The left side CEV switch is present. The right side has a replacement dual cable throttle and no right side switches for the turn signals. The turn signal wiring is present in the headlight shell along with the relays.
