Probly need an SS caliper too .... the hole spacings are different by 3-4mm ( I just eyeballed mine ) the SS calipers holes being closer together. I can do a proper measure up ( with pix ) if you want

I forgot to tell you, but you now know, or just got lucky. The sprocket carrier that comes with the 4.5" wheel aligns the sprocket perfectly for the Sport. The sprocket carrier for the 5.5" wheel puts the chain a bit more outboard.

You are going to love those new wheels, and brakes. Its going to be a new bike. So much more forgiving, and easy to ride. You are now free to change your line in the middle of the corner if you need.

Cheers, Phil

I think all of those more modern rear brake calipers have the same bolt pattern and fit the same rotor. One of the fiddly bits to work out is the brake lines. You did get an upgraded master cylinder for the front also?

Cheers, Phil

G'Day Phil,

Grabbed a Nissin Master Cyclinder off a Honda 1100 Blackbird (the purist will be up in arms) when I was picking up the wheels the other week, it's already bled and fitted.

So off to the wreckers yet again tomorrow for the carrier, it's the only advantage of working as a casual, can do most of this stuff during a normal working week.

Cheers

Peter

Hey Peter
be carefull, my sport went from a road bike rebuild to a trackday bike to now it's a fully fledged Classic race bike!! once you start it's contagious! But hell good fun

Nice Scoot. What pipes are those. They look just like what I'm looking to put on my 2nd bike.
Cheers, Phil

That looks great.Do you have any more photos Clive.

Cheers

Hi Phil
pipe was made by a local guy for me. he turned the standard headers into a 2-1 and then made the megaphone bit based on F1/TT1 pics from me. sounds really cool at the track.

I like the way you guys think. If bikes like these don't get your blood flowing, you don't understand the basic character of a Ducati. Both have found the true spirit of the Nuovo Sport. Like a good rock and roll number played by a three man band. Stripped down to the gutty essentials.

Clive, that looks fantastic, is there a reason for long intake tubes? just curious.

I'll be going back to velocity stacks with rock catchers for my next time out, and turning the main mixture screw back in 1 1/2 turns, (it's 3 out and I actually have to physically take the Keihin's off to get to them, so don't like adjusting very often) and have it running very rich at the moment to stop the popping and farting for road use, (the bike not me, well....................... ) it's lost way to much power for track use, could feel it between the corners if that makes sense.

And am still on the hunt for a solo seat off a don't care what, so the unobtainimiun seat unit can go into storage along the guard/electrics holder unit as well, must find something to hold them though.

It's all about having some serious fun, playing silly buggers and not getting booked

Thanks for sharing the pictures (yes I resisted the temptation to change the spelling, bloody Skippy's)

Cheers

Peter
