Returning Visitors
If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.
If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

WOW! I hope you like jigsaw puzzles. Or are really good at knowing what bolts go where!
Good luck with the re-assembly. The parts look great and I love the stance with the wire wheels. The bike looks fast even with no engine!

ive decided to re use the katana600 forks ( the rgv forks are too short and will wait for my next project- ktm based cafe racer).
the forks will be restored, probably with new springs that will fit my weight.
i need some help to find out the best way to renew the fork tubes.
they are a bit pitted, and unfortunetley some pits are n the " working area of the tube, wich meens that they are responsible for the hacked seals.
sadly i still have no rear shock, and because importing used one to israel is a criminal act, and we dont have any early 2000s ducatis, it will wait till my next trip abroad ( new one costs more than average month income - 2000+$)
in the meanwhile ive mocked up the bike for some measurments .
think to use drz400 rear hub and super tenere 750 front hub .
will apriciate any comments and tips .
thanks.

i can tell you who does it near tel aviv if it helps...
look your local yellow pages for any gavanazing/zinc coating factory.
here i could choose for silver,gold, black or army green coating.

hat is x ref ?
i just wrote down the catalog numbers from the bearings - they appear on each bearing , and called my local bearing dealer.
cost me 1/4 price of the oem , although they were from same manufacturer SKF.
