MFH Ducati 750 Super Sport

[2whl]

This is the third of my three Ducati build. After the success of the 750 at the 1972 Imola 200, Ducati created a street version of that bike. 1974 was the first year of mass production of the Super Sport. For all intents and purposes it was a pure production racer with the minimum of concessions to make it street legal.





I ordered my kit straight from Hiro because it's all about the origami that comes with it..LOL





Unpacking and sorting parts came first.





Then I assembled the frame parts and started fitting pieces to it.

Got some color on the frame parts. Tamiya TS-41 Coral Blue

Beautiful bike Paul.

Isn't that your garage behind it? 😃

I could only wish they were both mine.

Since the Imola racer is finished, it's time to get back to this one.

The basic engine pieces were cleaned up and assembled.

Paul,
Great job on both the engine and wheel build. You'd just never know that the completed engine started life as in the 1st picture.

Can I sub-contract the wire wheel assemblies to you?

The most difficult part of this build is the chain. I started at 2:08 PM and finished at 7:48 PM, but with a couple of breaks to rest my eyes and nerves. Those damn side plates are tiny !!

Engine is ready to put into frame.






Then the shocks and rear wheel were assembled.

I've been keeping on task on this because I wanted it for the Spirit of Speed model show on the 19th of this month. It looks like I should finish it with time to spare.






Windscreen evolution.
