If you want your bike for the road, where are you going to find tyres for 16.5 inch rims? Race tyres can be had, but road tyres ???? |

Hey Beltboy, from Melbournistan (the land of we will catch you & fine you) The reference to 16.5's was a joke, but I just came back from Pablo's. (Scotty sold the business to Rick) We were talking 18in tyres. there are bugger all, but the dunlop TT100 look good.  Rated as a road tyre, but do get used for racing. They come in strange sizes, but translated in the book to 3.00, 3.5 & 4.0. Rick says no problem to mount on 2.15 & 2.5 rims. Price is good too, $140 frt, $180 rr Peter |

Here is another project of mine that I have been preparing earlier  The bike started out as a repairable write-off I picked up for $5,000. It is a 2005 1000 DS Supersport. As you can see I needed to get the frame repaired ($700) but apart from that it is a great bike! Tyre choice is apparently very good! Although this generation of Supersport is hailed as being one of the best handling Ducatis of all time, it is a chore to ride around town and I would much prefer the nimbler and lighter lighter 750 F1! I hope to get back into this and a few other bike projects after I finish my home renovation. I start pulling do the back of the house next week! Cheers,

You know Mike, when I read Brad's idea the 1000DS came straight to mind. I rode one when they first came out & was very impressed, I only rode it for an hour so I didn't notice the weight but it was light years ahead of my then TRX 850. |
