Very nice Paul,
Looking at your foot peg mounts, I might have mine too far back ? Time will tell.
What are the 2 Allen heads near the swing arm pivot ?
Neat job with the seat and rear tank mount.

Graeme, the two bolts hold a delrin wear block for the chain.
I played around with foot peg positions, the plates can be used on the opposite side which gives you some adjustment.
Hopefully I can try it out this year.

Paul, 450?
I can't see to count the cylinder fins.
Nice carb angle down too.
adding the accessary bits is a bastard. Was never meant to have these.
But I tried not to alter or weld to the Carlo's frame so it can be taken back to how it is meant to be for the next caretaker.

Mike, the road surface is my driveway, hot mix bitumen then 20mm, then more hot mix and 6mm stones rolled in.
Stands up to traffic, heat in summer and freezing winter. (so far 5 years)

Thanks Graeme. Nice. I thought that was a public road. You would get a lot of traction but very short tire life! MikeV

Nice you guyz.......like the singles and the Darmah. A 78 Darmah was my first Ducati :-) I haven't been doing much Ducati stuff but I still lurk here now and then to see what's up. My most recent toy is a BMW BoxerCup. I bought a beautiful example that doesn't run, its been sitting for a few years and should just need a full maintenance go thru to put it back on the road. And even worse......I bought a Buell.....both of these are about as nice as you will get for unrestored bikes.

Yup! That's Steve D'Angelo's Moretti. He bought the Frame kit from Carlo. She's a beauty! They all are! Lou
