So as you've already seen by the thumbnail this episode finishes off the restoration of the bike. So the first job on my very long to do list was to get the coolant system all back in place but before i could do that i needed to get the coolant reservoir back into tip top condition this was done in the usual manner by chucking it in the ultrasonic cleaner. While the reservoir was cleaning i set about fitting the radiator and all the major coolant hoses once this was done the reservoir was clean and ready for fitting.
After that i began fitting all the wiring looms and instrument clusters and hooking everything up and being careful to route everything just the same way that it was when i found it and as the bike fired straight up i must've got all the wiring correct.
Then i set my sights on getting the oil breather condenser bottle as it was looking very tatty and not suitable for going back in the frame... yet. I peeled all the old heat foil off and gave the bottle a good clean in the parts washer and then once dried i spray on a little adhesion promoter so that my new heat reflective foil would stick well and then applied said foil and installed the condenser back into the frame.
I then tackled the job i was dreading and that was the exhausts as they were very heavily tarnished. I applied a acidic cleaner to the stainless steel that removes the tarnish but doesn't eat into the metal or affect the polished surface this was aided by a stiff nylon brush and then the acid was rinsed off and neutralized and as you can see by the video the exhausts came up just lovely then it was a simple job of fitting them.
Once the exhaust system was on that was the last of the major mechanical pieces fitted so i then moved to my clean room and began the fun job of fitting the fairings and of course as soon as the tank was on i just had to fire up the bike and make sure everything was all good and im very pleased to say it was, pure Ducati thunder :). So after hearing that glorious noise i was spurred on to get the rest of the bike built and stickered up and of course as i said in the video the choice of the Termignoni stickers are yours to make.
Then it was the obligatory ending shots featuring before and after's
And that brings this episode to a close im afraid but i will be back again soon with the next one.
As usual i really hope you enjoy this series of videos and leave a like and a comment to let me know what you think.
Enjoy
