Work Done: 1. Replaced old front end with a Ducati GT1000 setup from the Triple tree, bearings, and shock arms to the axel, hub, break calipers, rotors and headlamp. It now rides like a modern performance bike while looking like a vintage badass. 2. New Siebenrock nikasil cylinders, stainless pushrod tubes and pistons - piston rings and wrist pins 3. New extra-capacity oil pan for cooler operation 4. New gaskets throughout – From oil pan to drive shaft to cylinders, transmission, etc. She leaks nothing. 5. New custom fabricated mono-shock frame-brace and Ohlins Mono-shock custom configured for the weight of the bike and the new Ducati front end. 6. Custom 19-inch aluminum wheels with Ducati GT1000 front hub, original 100/7 rear hub and drum break 7. Complete and perfect R100/7 tank polished, clear-coated, sealed by http://www.fueltankservices.com/about.html using a proprietary and absolutely amazing technology.
