:o Holy shit, that's awesome!

^ What Justin said! One of the coolest bikes around, of that era or any other. While not Liter-bike fast, it'll do way more than you'll expect. Just the shape of the exhaust headers is worth the price of admission!

I fully understand what you're saying, but that's kind of defeating the purpose here. I'm only considering all this because I already have the bike, and even though it's gotten tough to ride, I've had it forever and I'm having trouble parting with it. ;D Ha! Yeah, that's kind of my concern...

Yeah, that sure looks like the bike all right, but what looks like plenty of clearance there is deceiving. There is very little room to turn or move the bars as they are, let alone raising them at all; they would actually touch the trailing edge of the fairing if they were even fractions of an...

Now that's what I'm lookin' for!

I'm in - thanks for such a great site!

Hey, THERE'S an idea! I could even kick the forks out, lop off the rear subframe and rear shock, slap on some ape-hangers and make a hardtail chopper out of it! ;D I'm not expecting to turn it into a GoldWing, but even being able to swing the clip-ons out closer to parallel - they sweep back...

So, I've got this '95 Ducati 900SS/CR (oddly enough, the "Cafe Racer" model with the short fairing) that is my beloved old ride that I figured I'd have forever, blah, blah, blah... BUT, now that I somehow aged without noticing it, I find it very uncomfortable to ride, to the point that I never...

That was my first real street bike, same year even, that I bought in '78 or so - became my very first cafe bike! Had a blast "transforming" it, and getting my first real experience at working on a road bike. While not the fastest thing out there at the time, I found it solid and bulletproof in...

Yeah, that one's been around a while, pretty well known in the Ducati world, but nice, huh? Oddly enough, I'm trying to talk myself into doing the same thing to my 900SS right now... :o

Well, since I've had a couple of people message me about how to do this, I'm going to post up what I hope are clearer instructions on how to do this swap. It's really just a summation of what everybody told me to do here, so credit goes to all of you guys that helped out: Although it seems like...

No, but I'm sending my wife there shortly on a birding trip for her birthday - does that count? ;D

Can't wait - it's great to have a USGP again - long overdue!

Nice KZ! My buddy bought one of those new, same year, same colour. Always thought that was an incredible looking bike, and a nice size.

I have to say that I've never been much of a 2-stroke fan (not that there's anything wrong with that), but that is one damned sexy looking little scoot.

I'm guessing you now belong to one very big club on this one... ;)

...I think we've all been there!

Very cool! Nice feel to it. 8) Certainly nothing to be ashamed of!

Lookin' good so far - but I'd leave the whitewalls out of the equation!

Great transformation - lookin' good so far! I had an '81 XJ650 Turbo. Loved that bike; front and top heavy, but when that turbo kicked in at about 3,500 rpms, look out! It got a lot of looks back in those days, too - looked pretty futuristic for its time. The hard core sportsbike guys didn't...
