Ducati 748 Race Bike Walk Around

It’s been well over a year and half since I first took it apart to fix it’s many problems; but the Ducati 748 race bike is back together. The front cylinder had a blown head gasket (and once inside motor found a broken piston ring ), leaking coolant, faulty rear brake, one of the front forks preload adjusters was stuck, shock was beyond beat, fuel pump needed replaced, gas tank needed cleaned out (rust), and a few electrical gremlins solved.
The 748 has full floating cast iron Brembo rotors, Marvic Magnesium wheels, Carbon Airbox, Carbon Fender, Carbon Swingarm Cover, Renthal Grips and Brake Pads, Aluminum Fairing Stay, Ohlins Shock, Keyless Ignition, Full Exhaust, STM Slipper clutch and a few other race oriented modifications. The bike weighs 405lbs with enough fuel for a sprint race. The bike isn’t in amazing condition and could use a full restore. It may shift like a dump truck but the Ducati is still a visually stunning machine.
