Dom’s Ducati 900SS. 2/15/2006
Dom, of WPF, dropped by yesterday, and gave me the links to set of pictures of his ride, a tricked out and updated Ducati 900SS. The big brother of “old school“.
Dom’s added a monoposto seat unit in carbon fiber to the 900SS, along with a whole host of other goodies. He’s spent a lot of time and money on his machine, and with help from many friends. You can find the shopping list and Academy Award acceptance speech here.
A six pot caliper graces the front end of the bike, providing much more stopping power than the original brakes. From what I remember of the 900SS I used to ride back in the early 90s, an immediate upgrade to braided steel lines was something almost everyone did.

I remember that 900SS fondly. It was the first Italian motorcycle I ever bought, and I had to sell her because I thought I was changing countries.
A neatly installed Ohlins steering damper, billet adjustable levers, and bar end mirror. A very beautifully done-up machine, just the right thing for the run to Alice’s. Now, one of these days, I might post pictures of Dom’s other bike, which, in my opinion, is a whole lot more interesting.
