Ducati 900SL Superlight IV (no 575) - Fully Restored

Bike has been totally restored. Date of registration 6/9/95.

I like to restore classic Ducs and have a reasonable collection. I did this one to keep but circumstances have changed and I’m having to start to thin out my collection. So, it is with a heavy heart that this is for sale….

Where to start….

Complete engine rebuild (documented / full photographic evidence). This was a professional engine rebuild by Alf @ Alfs Motorcycles Worthing. Bores, pistons, crankshaft etc measured. Re-shim crankshaft and gearbox due to no crankcase gasket available (sealant use only). Valves lapped in. Re-shimmed heads. Used plastigauge to assure correct oil clearance on big end assembly (Con rods). Engine cases aqua blasted, engine covers & barrels satin black cerakoted. New head studs. Replaced piston rings, all internal bearings renewed. New belts and tensioners. New clutch basket. Carbs stripped, cleaned and set back to factory settings. New throttle cables.  Engine has only covered a few hundred miles since rebuild.

Exhausts are carbon Sil Moto with polished header pipes.
