Catching up, pt. 2

A few years ago I bought a Ducati single basket case. It's a '66 350 Sebring narrowcase, pretty complete. It mostly needs a cylinder rebore and new piston, plus of course a hundred tiny little things like bearings, gaskets, seals, cables, etc.

One of the little things was a fork rebuild, which I got around to last week after ordering new tubes from Forking by Frank. Buffed the alloy parts up a little while everything was apart. The wheels have been rebuilt by Chris at Wheelworks in Hayward. Need to get the frame parts painted next so I can have a fresh rolling chassis to work with.

Cleaned and inspected
