Battery - added to the list

Spark plugs - these go bad with age?

Fork Oil - added to the list

Chain lube - I stock that already

Tires - I have a rear so just need a front

No, but at least pull the plugs and give them an inspection.  Plus, @ $2/plug... why not?

Great thread and awesome bike!

Reminds me of my 1st Ducati purchase, a 1988 Paso Limited. I learned a valuable lesson through that purchase, which is, there is no such thing as a cheap Ducati!  chug

You’ve motivated me to change the fuel filter in my S4!

Glad to help!

Also sorry about the Paso. But not really. Those bikes hurt me to look at Wink

That is going to be one sweet bike when done.

I've seen pics of the indiana but it's been so long I can't picture it and to be safe I'm not looking it up Grin

Yes, and I'm pretty sure that's the 'short' shock.

Short?

Was thinking of a respring for my weight since I'm doing the forks. Do I need to do internal stuff or can I just swap the spring?

So it seems that I have the showa shock which has shit valving and the cost to get it good would probably be high.

So I'm looking for a sachs unit, from an ss ie if possible, or any other crossover that applies.

I posted some stuff, and a pic, I swear....



The shock on the right is the later version, a wee bit longer IIRC, 5mm (?)

Yep, the one on the right is what I'm looking for. Is that a picture off the net or those are yours... to sell?
