Hello Ducati Community 👋

I was searching and I couldn't find a topic with a showcase of your Ducati's. I'm about to repaint and restore everything on my 996 and would love to have some inspiration from all of yours.

Therefore you can show your amazing 748/916/996/998 bikes here!

Have a great week. 😁

As much as I like restomods, there something real special about restoring a bike back to stock. On my bike, I am trying to keep as many of the original parts as well, including the bolts!

I went slightly over board. I replated all the fasteners. Eastwood makes a very easy to use kit.

Please tell me more! I was thinking of doing the same but haven't found a good alternative. Is the Eastwood product a DIY kit? Link?

I started the journey here then found a kit for less than $100.00 probably enough to do several bikes. I also bought a junk ST2 for extra parts.

If you were close to me I’d give you a kit. I have the Caswell zinc kit. The problem is now that I have buckets full of chemicals in my basement and no more need to zinc and chromate bolts.

Thank you! I’ve been asked about the windscreen before but unfortunately it came with the bike when I got it, and there are no markings on it.

Duc stroyer, thats got to be one of the coolest custom paint jobs I've seen on one of these bikes. Very nice.

No idea why anyone would paint one of these classics in anything other than the original factory liveries...

I actually have several, one of which is a god damned beast, a 2013 Mac Pro (the "Trashcan") which is literally maxxed out configuration wise, e.g. 2.7GHz 12-core processor with 30MB L3 cache, 64Gb of 1866MHz DDR3 ECC memory, a pair of AMD FirePro D700 graphics processors with 6GB of GDDR5 VRAM, and 1Tb NVME SSD of internal storage.

The fact that a 9 year old machine is still relevant today speaks volumes when it comes to Jony Ive's masterpiece. The build quality of Apple's hardware, especially these top of the line models is, at least IMO, without peer. I run bootcamp on both this Mac Pro and and my Macbook Pro as I need to be able to support both Windows and MacOS environments for work.

I've seen a lot of pics with "Taken with my Nikon" recently.
Am I missing out on product placement revenue?

Not that I am aware of... in my case it's a simple matter of admiration for a machine that was revolutionary at the time, and is still, well, amazing. There really isn't anything else in the pic for context, but the 2013 Mac Pro was less than 10" high, 6.6" in diameter, and weighed in at a svelte 11lbs.
