Ducati Belt-Drive Two-Valve Twins: Restoration and Modification (Authentic Restoration Guides)

The 1990s saw Ducati pull itself from near-oblivion to regain its spot among the world's most prestigious motorcycle marques. The recent success of the Italian manufacturer has ensured a healthy restoration and aftermarket scene among the Ducati faithful. This hands-on guide takes owners through the process of restoring and modifying 1979 to 1999 belt-driven two-valve machines, including the 500/600/650SL, 750 F1, Paso, 750 Sport, 750SS, 900SS, and Monster. As with all guides in MBI's Authentic Restoration Series, the emphasis is on originality. Hundreds of black-and-white photographs illustrate all the procedures explained, while detailed appendices cover specifications for all the models covered and identify sources for the restorer.
