Hi All

I got some parts that came with the Pig bike as I call it, as everything that has been stuff , is and anything that was genuine is no longer , you know the kind of bike....

anyway in the arts box were some 4 bolt 750 discs that looked like they had done only a few miles on them as well as that there was this NOS gear lever

anyone know what it is off

You for real ??? yes mate it is NOS brand new original chrome and zero mount marks I did give it a little polish with autosol to get rid of the surface scum

How much do I want for it ? I haven't even given it a thought yet

LOL now I have a reflector and gear lever I'm getting there HAHAHAHAHA

Speaking of reflectors I may have found a 2 or 3 of them for the larger Bosh head lights , still waiting on conformation and price but I was told around the US$100 was the mark , might get them and put them away for another day

I also found a Aussie headlight glass with correct numbers should get that this week it will look great on the restore ,you cant rush these things now can you HAHA

ok you got me there
you seem to know what part that was
have you looked at ducati drawings to see how many more parts you need to make this lever work-its about 17 other parts
i have found all these 17 parts impossible to find

Truly I did not know that this is was it was , I'm happy with my two SSD's and one day an SS will come around but I'm not looking

Why you need a new reflector as well ?

I think the last SS lever that Falloon sold as NOS sold for US$300 from memory ......are these really that hard to find ???

I also have 2 sets of KLG NOS never used plug caps I might be selling one set on fleebay soon (( that makes it 16 more parts LOL ))

BTW I have emailed the seller that sold me those fairing brackets and asked if he had any more of them

hey martin
they look like the exact bracket for an ss
do they suit your ssd-that makes sense-maybe.
that lever you've got is brake lever -76-77 ss.its not worth anything to anyone who doesnt already have one due to the amount of other parts required.these parts are required to make this lever work

as you can see this was the easiest solution ducati could come up for
right to left foot change over (this was good compared to the gear change)
reflector-read whole headlight

Martin, I will trade you a rear caliper bracket for a pair of those KLG caps, if you can hang on to them until I get the brackets made up. Jordan

Yeh, I saw it too. Being sold by no less than Ian Falloon, so respect due; but it sure wasn't off any model SSD that I know of

(His description: "Ducati bevel 900 SSD Darmah rear brake lever. Suits the early frame type with higher rearset footpegs 1979-1980.")

hey craig
that is an exact brake lever for 76-77ss without the grommet
these were quite rightly abandonded for 78
the plot thickens
to my knowledge this lever will only work with 76-77 footpeg set up
could he be w w w wrong
ssd expert needed here

Craig there is no way that lever that Ian sold is from an SSD ,someone got a real deal for AU$66.
About 2 months ago he was selling some gear rods and he said it was for the later SSD , I mailed him a said nope you are wrong its of a early SSD, never got a reply in return ,,,,go figure !!!

hey guys,i think we're treading on thin ice here
if he says its so,is it not so

MartinMille BANNED · Post by **MartinMille BANNED** » Sun Nov 02, 2008 2:30 am

you really think so ??? How about selling a set of cases that were GT860's for SS900, where it was quite clear that the numbers had been doctored with ....are we still treading on thin ice or have I broke through ? LOL
And I know of another case that is heading for the courts at the moment over a set of round cases not doctored by him though
