Title: Falloon's Belt Drive Ducatis book reissued
Post by: ducatiz on December 06, 2012, 10:38:19 PM
If you've wanted a copy but didn't want to pay $300 for the old printing, Ian revised and reprinted his Belt Drive Ducati's book.

It has a good bit of expansion -- side bars about derivative models etc. 

Just came in the mail, hot off the presses.


Update:  It's almost sold out!  wow..

Same book as two valve belt drive performance guide, with year by year specs, covering all the mods as well, ie hi comp, big bore, carbs, cams, clutch, flywheel, exhaust, etc?
I gave mine to a friend and then it went out of print [bang].
If its the same book I must have it.

Since Amazon doesn't have "look inside" option for this, anybody out there who owns one want to give some insight/review?  I have the LT Snyder (Desmotimes) book which is the bee's knees.  What does Falloon's cover?

Check out the old edition.  The differences are more asides about related models and expanded info about standard models.  And some about mods.

This is not a service manual but it has a lot of technical and production info.

it's just a specific year by year listing of models, new and updated and running changes.  you know, all those little things that make people say "they fitted whatever was laying around" when in reality there were many, many running changes that went to make up differences.  it's a catalogue of all that stuff with some commentary as well.
