New Owner

[Uwe]

Hello
I am new in this forum

Drive past few decades Ducatis and I have now bought a 907ie.
The motorcycle comes from a collection unfortunately some things had not been seen.
Service Jam, no timing belt change, damaged rear swing arm caused by incorrect installation of the spacer sleeve.
On both side panels are missing the retaining plug to the tank.
For this, a question for you
Is there a repair solution for the side panels.?

regards

Uwe

Hi Uwe , welcome to the mad house . I have seen side panels on e bay , which probly would have to include a paint job . If you have the broken off bits a good polyester glue should stick em back on .

" and today's cryptic X word clue is .................
Then I would investigate fitting some well nuts to the tank and drilling 6mm holes where pins used to be and use some 6mm fairing screws to attach side panel , gee ! if you did it right it would probly look "factory "

Last 907s (like mine black one) don't have the big plugs on the rear fairings and the gum on the tank.
They only have some little cylindrical plugs and no gum.
She came so by factory. I bought mine stock and with very little mileage.
Don't worry.

Hello
Thanks for the reply
Without fixing the side cover scrubs the tank
The variant where the two plugs sit in rubber would be useful
So I thought
Have glued hard rubber provisionally small spacer.
Yesterday was the first test drive with Bridgestone S20 120/170
Runs very well
Unfortunately, caused by the previous owner opened the air filter box when accelerating very strong noise.
The little things are no problem.

He may removed the short, round Air Intakes. Get Noisy but mine runs better without.
