Description:
1980 Ducati 900SSD âDarmah âJust completed fully documented restoration by professional engineer, mechanic and ex-racer. One of the rarer Ducatis with only 854 made between 1978 and 1980 according to Ian Falloon. The bike starts instantly, idles perfectly, shifts correctly and pulls like the proverbial freight train. With controversial styling (to some), it is a worthy alternative to the 900SS at less than half the price. I have acquired a lot of respect for this model after seeing the engineering up close and riding it. I also own a 750GT which is a far more civilized ride. The Darmah is narrower, lighter, faster. Riding posture is aggressive with stock clip-ons and rear sets and bubble fairing. Most of the bike is stock except for a few upgrades like suspension, hydraulic clutch, and Tomasselli throttle. I tried to stay true to the original, but built the bike for riding, not for trailering. Too much to list, but here goes: Motor Cases never split to my knowledge. I checked the compression (110/125 PSI horizontal/vertical cylinders), adjusted the valves, soda blasted the motor out of the frame, polished the cases, replaced all oil plugs and replaced the Bosch pickup wiring inside the clutch case. Hydraulic clutch upgrade added (the stock mechanical pull was ridiculously stiff). All new seals and gaskets. Many fasteners replaced with stainless. Fresh oil. Motor does not smoke either on start up or during use. Carbs Airbox removed and crankcase breather filter (KN type) added. Dellorto PHF 32âs cleaned, rebuilt (new slides, jets, gaskets etc. ), tuned and synchronized. New Malossi velocity stacks; also have KN type pod filters. Inferior stock cable and splitter replaced with new Tommaselli throttle with dual cables resulting in good snappy throttle response. Carbs have mostly stock settings, and runs well here at 5,000 feet but does pop a little on throttle closure due to idle jets that are probably a little too lean. Fuel System. Still available at ListedBuy!
