Parting out a 1997 900ss/sp

[DesmoBob]

Bike was NOT laid down, wrecked, burned into a pile, cursed by demons, or otherwise damaged in any way. I love this bike, but she recently presented me with a gift of straw; the last straw as it were, and it's time to move on...

Perfect frame (less than perfect paint) w/ title, asking $500.00 obo

Brembo Gold calipers, w/ good pads, $189/ea new, asking $100.00 for BOTH!

Floating rear caliper, w/ torque rod and all hardware, asking $125.00

Rear rotor, asking $50.00

Repaired aluminum swingarm, have pics, reduced to $150.00

...and anything else you can think of.

Financing a Multistrada 1100. PM me for any details on available parts, hi-res pics available upon request. This bike has never been crashed, no issues, no excuses. Need stuff for your SuperSport? This is where you get it...

Please PM or email me with any inquiries.

All this stuff will eventually end up on eBay, just wanted to give my fellow 'zilla members first crack.

Dave, feel free to move this thread; I actually meant to post it in the classified section.

KernalK, your email address was kicked back to me; I tried to send pics of the tail section twice. I inadvertently deleted your PM (my mailbox is full already), so please PM me w/ an alternate email addy. Thanks.

If you still have the rear view mirrors I'm interested if they don't have road rash

I sent you a PM regarding the belt covers. Thanks!

Jeff

Bar risers are sold...

Folks, I have a perfectly good 900cc motor w/ V2 heads that really needs a good home. I have reduced the price to $750, because to let this engine sit and fall into disrepair would be a crime against God and man. Someone must have a use for it, and I don't want to see it languish...it was meant to run. I'll entertain any reasonable offer, as long as it ends up turning fuel into horsepower and and the byproducts of internal combustion.

'nuff said.

[bobducati]

Ooh...I can hear the gears grinding all across speedzilla world...mine included. How many miles on this engine, Bob?

[DesmoBob]

29K. I have done the maintenance myself since I bought the bike w/ approx 14k, and I'm not a hack. I bought it from the original owner, Sebastian, who owns Melilli Moto in Ocala FL. I have never had a broken collet, never a problem w/ getting shims off valve stems, and the motor has never burned oil or smoked. Uses the usual amount for an air-cooled twin, minimal, and I have faithfully changed it every 1500 miles w/ Mobil 1 synthetic (not to start another oil thread!).

It's just sad to see it sit. I'm being honest here, the engine's tight, made about 85 Hp on a dyno about 2 years ago, and all it's going to do is sit in my shop looking forlorn. All I want is for it to be put to good use by someone who cares. I hated letting this bike part out, and I have an emotional need to see parts of it live on, somewhere, somehow. I'm sure there are those of you out there that understand.

I will not let it sit, forgotten and dusty, less and less likely to run again. It was the soul of my bike and part of my own soul as well, and it's not done making a contribution. Not finished with expressing itself thru some CF cans and the intake honk that can only come from a classic belt-drive 2-valve.

I know this all sounds corny to some; if that's you, there's other threads to peruse. But someone out there knows what giving up a bike means, and why it's so important not to let this motor simply fade away. 1997 Ducati 900ss/sp, number D77. Shall it fade into oblivion?

Let it not be so...

[Desmo93]

Interested in the motor, could you pm me details.

Thanks.

I reduced a lot of prices; check the list, first page. I guess I'm about a week from putting the rest on ebay. I have several inquiries on the engine, FYI.

And thanks to those of you who have bought parts... it was a pleasure dealing with each of you, and it only reinforces what I already knew about the Ducati community. I can't thank you enough for the "your bike will live on" spirit and good wishes; it makes all this much less painful. (It also helps that I'll be on my first brand new Ducati--actually, my first brand new vehicle of any kind--by this time next month!)
