Hi Kerrin,
Can you actually see your photos on Ultraxs? What the site seems to be telling me is that you've got as far as creating the gallery, but the photos themselves are not yet loaded ...
Ciao

Yes I can see them, I just can`t transfer them to my gallery. They are all in amongst the publicly viewable images for Nov 14. I`ve spent a couple of hours trying to move or reload but to no avail. Its probably my lack of practice & can only get easier. I shall now go & strip paint off a Trident until I feel happier. Kerrin

Hi Kerrin,
Hope the Trident is stripped and you're feeling happier ...
Are these photos of your bike?

The Trident paintwork is stripped & a new catflap has been inserted in the back door; I am now relaxed. Yes, those are my pictures [there were a couple of others that showed the engine & forks] & I am very impressed that you managed to extract them. Looking at the site again it seems that the "load to gallery" function is not working; I shall give it a day or two & try again. As you can see from the photos all clues as to original identity have gone. My intention is to go with the alloy tank & a single seat rather than attempt a concours restoration. Kerrin

A lot of potential there. Where is the seat from ?

The seat is from my North, I was just trying to get a sense of what it looked like with the big tank & small seat.

Good luck with your project.

Yeh, I'd agree. Too much is missing from the original.
Have a look here
http://www.ducatimeccanica.com/default.html for inspiration. Both of the Waters' bikes started life as GTSs, and Kane Brechlin's re-modeled 750 GT is pretty nice, too.
Good Luck! And keep us posted ...

Thanks for your help Craig, the Waters site has given me some ideas to explore. I`m going with the black alloy tank & will start looking for a suitable seat.
