What to do with my 750 and 900? Updated

So I'm rebuilding my 750, hi-comp, FCRs etc.
http://www.ducatimonsterforum.org/index.php?topic=68134
But I just bought a 900S i.e.
------------
**update** looks like the 900 has 121,000km on it, not the 21,000 I was led to believe. Does this change anyone's opinion?
-------------
Rode it home from work after having it freighted there. Gotta say, I kinda like the masses of torque and power. But it's been 9 months since I've ridden, so I'd probably say the same if I bought a 400!
Original plan was simply part the 900, as it popped up at a price I couldn't refuse. Profit some, and fund the 750 build with that.
But Koko and rudemouthsky have been whispering naughty things in my ear, about flushing the nugget!
What do you lot reckon?

Trade me the 900 motor for my 750, then find a way to put it in the frame with the one you already have and then you'll have the only two motor Ducati 1500cc twin L-twin and you'll be absolutely bad ass and everybody will love you forever.

Its a 900S no less, carbon guards, carbon side covers, Ohlins rear, adjustable front, rear caliper torque arm. Comes with carbon Termis, good tyres, DP air filter/open air box.
Just needs clutch plates.

~~~SNIP~~~
rear caliper torque arm.
~~~SNIP~~~
Refurbish that item.
New outer bushing and both new inner pivot spacer items.
You can remove the brake pads and wiggle it side to side to see how much freeplay it has.
They wear quickly, allowing the caliper to have lateral freeplay.
Eventually one pad will partially escape from confinement.
Not a good situation.
Usually either the caliper bracket bosses or caliper attachment bolts will drag on the disc, providing a clue that all is not well....

Thanks, I'll check that. Nibor said that he felt/heard something with the rear brake.

Sell them both for even asking the question!
900
The poll is also invalid. Bacon is nice, but it isn't THE required poll item.

where'd you get the 900?
Fleabay! Bloke in Sydney bought it from Manheim down here, repairable write off. But didn't know he couldn't register in NSW.
Plate used to be MS900 I think. Wish I had more history on it. Koko pointed out the clutch had blown up in the past! Will be interesting to see what else comes to surface...
