Anyway in this episode i work my way through the last of the jobs on the list which include painting all the fairings, doing some zinc plating on the last of the hardware and building the bike up and firing up the engine for the first time...... Will it run???
First thing to do was to wash the fairings to remove all traces of oil, grease grime and most importantly of all any traces of old waxes and polishes. one cleaned and dried i removed the decals on the surface of the paint. then proceeded to start sanding the panel down to get access tot he decals buried in the clear coat.
After the fairings were sanded and prepped for primer i cracked on with the tank, It was stripped down off camera then i used the heat gun to soften the glue on the tank protector so that i could easily remove it one removed i cleaned off the remaining glue with some thinners and i was ready for the next stage.
Paint stripper was used on the tank as i explained in the video so that i could get it back to bare metal and be sure that there was no rust lurking in the seams or any other dodgy repairs but im glad to say the tank was totally straight and i could clean it down and proceed straight onto etch and high build priming.
Once the paneols were prepped they had to be wet flatted to remove nay defects and leave a glass like surface for the next layer to lay on. This stage is where a good paint job is won or lost. The colour used was the original shade of Ducati Rosso correct for this year and model.
Once the base coat had dried i started the long process of fitting the decals this took a while as i had to measure everything several times and re-posistion multiple times just to be 100% sure that they were in the right place. Then once happy i sealed it all up with 5 good layers of clear so as to ensure the decals were sealed in well and to give a deep wet looking shine to the bike.
After that was done i still had a few pieces needing zinc plated so i set about that job and as per usual i have sped through it as a plan on making a zinc plating video soon so i didnt want to bore you with the details here. But im happy with the way the plating turned out and now the panels are dry i can crack on with getting the bike built up and running.
The assembly stage was pretty straight forward and self explanatory.
once fully assembled it was time to turn the key and see if she would fire up and im glad to report it did. Then it was a case of sitting back relaxing and having drink and admiring a job well done.
then as usual its the obligatory ending shots, sorry about my shaky footage i really need to invest in a gimble of some sorts, anyway thats getting off topic
As usual i really hope you enjoy this series of videos and leave a like and a comment to let me know what you think.
Enjoy.

Can I borrow your motorcycle?
Fucking awesome project
I have thought long and hard I can't think of a thing to top that restore unless maybe redo a camper or rv maybe for yourself
so when are you taking it out for a spin ?
Nice job again man,,,Thanks for sharing
Brilliant. Absolutely brilliant.
I have an identical 600ss and a 900ss which is currently sulking in the Glasgow area.
When would you like me to drop them off?
Also I think you deserved something better to celebrate.
That restoration was at least a Glenmorangie standard.
Looking forward to your next project which I could possibly supply.
All the best

I only recently discovered this channel and are currently BINGE WATCHING everything! This is the first playlist I encountered and WOW you are AWESOME! Thank you for taking the time for showcasing your restoration, and bringing this classic beauty back to life and better than it has ever been before! I hope you’ve been enjoying the heck out of this beautiful bike!!!!!!
Ditto!👍🏻😊
This is one of my most favorite bikes. Seeing this much time, effort and skill poured into it to bring it back to life just warms my heart. Thank you.
Thank you for your kind comment :)
I'd just like to say it has been an absolute pleasure watching the restoration the Ducati, well done awesome job, enjoy.
Thank you very much, Glad to have you along for the ride :)
I nearly screamed "no" when I saw that red screen. I've really enjoyed the series. I have a Kawasaki KH250 I need to get started on myself.
Haha yeah its not a pleasant screen is it haha, Im glad you enjoyed the series. Good luck with your Kawasaki 👍
I restored (well I actually had some professional assistance from a colleague) my KH250 B3 (the Green a Yellow one) some 25 years ago and never regretted it. I did regret that I sold it to an enthusiast (lives next door to my Bro) as I moved overseas but it still looks as good as new even after all these years and he still let's me ride it when I visit...JUST DO IT...:-D
I had a KH250 in 1976 when I was 17. Nearly killed myself a dozen times...
Wow! A well deserved scotch! Looks awesome!
Huge respect for restoring this awesome bike at such a level making it factory new. Very nice effort recording all the process in such a detail.
You have me binge watching as well. Amazing work bringing back these beautiful bikes!
Awesome, it's the best restoration I ever see, I love your job, congratulation from Italy 💪💪💪
Grazie mille :)
Absolutely beautiful! I would love to see and hear that bike ripping up the road!
Thank you :) Once the weather clears up it will be taken out for a thorough shake down ;)
@@RRCRestoration Are you a Green Welly frequenter or are you more East Coast Fife Trail? Hope to see you and the bike out on the road in the near future! Cheers and thanks for another brilliant restoration! Michael from Planet-Wax.
26:22 This guy's got jokes!
I would love to rip that bike up the road 😛😍
you make it look so easy, I know its not because I used to fix fairings when I was young, I just wished I had your attention to detail, a true masterpiece and you are a renessaince worker
I bought one of these bikes new from the dealer in Sydney back in 1996. It looked exactly like this one once you’d completed it. Brought back good memories. Thanks.
As a long time Ducati fan and more recent Really Random Channel fan, I thoroughly enjoyed this restoration. Great job! Two comments: 1. Please polish the tail lamp lens 2. Please polish the headlamp.
This 🤣
Thought the same!
I am Italian and in seeing your great job I was excited! Thank's my friend! A Ducati lives on
Thank you very much, or should i say grazie millie :)
The level of skill displayed here across all disciplines of mechanical and paintwork restoration is literally breathtaking. This machine is now so perfect that I should hesitate to use it on the road which could only disfigure the perfection of what has been achieved in bringing it to a condition which is surely better than when it left Bolognia. You have created a version of a fabulous motorcycle which surpasses mere factory production standards to represent a work of art. I salute you Sir !
one of the greatest bike resto videos - ever. Stunning, even though I found it 4 years late!
That’s a thing of beauty!! Great job on a perfect restoration, it looks amazing!!
Thank you for your kind comment :)
Ha ha George! You little beauty 😍. Once again, fantastic work my friend. Your patience and attention to detail never ceases to amaze me. I love your work and your brilliant video editing. I hope you never tire of uploading content. 👍🏻
Nice to see you again and thank you very much for your kind comment. As long as you guys keep watching ill keep making videos for you its all good fun :)
These are the first vids I've seen on a Ducati, it took the mystery out of it. I've always wanted one, 4 Japanese, 2 Harley later, I still want a Duck. Thanks for the look into the Ducati.
You really know your craft, from mechanics to painting. So awesome to see someone who knows exactly what he's doing with such an amazing restoration!
Thank you very much for sharing
Cheers from Los Angeles, C.A.!!!
Been following since the beginning. Can't wait to see what's next!
Cheers from rainy Scotland 🍻haha. Really glad you have enjoyed the project :)
You've done an amazing job - I can learn many lessons from watching your steady, calculated approach to how you do things - thank you so much for sharing your experiences!
Thank you very much for your kind comment :)
Fantastic! The best motorcycle restoration project on UA-cam! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
My first brand new Ducati was a ‘93 900SS. This led to a used ‘95 900SS SP, then a ‘97 900SS CR. Loved them all. Funny, the humble CR was the most fun. The skinny back tire made turn-in quicker and the half-fairing made maintenance a breeze.
Oh yeah baby ! I was waiting for this ! Love from France, love your work
Answer 42 Fan français au rdv !
Thank you very much ,Hope you enjoy the finale :)
salut. je m'appelle Ashish Chari
Idem !
Bravo
Superbe restauration👍
3:35AM! Woke up to the notification! 🔥🔥🔥🔥
From India ❤️
Sorry, Hope i didnt wake you. Hope you enjoy the final episode :)
@@RRCRestoration I really did 🔥🔥
@@RRCRestoration 😆
Anyone else find the application of the decals incredibly calming and satisfying? No, only me? I must be a weirdo then. Anyway, very impressive work, results are stunning and the noise this machine makes is orgasmic.
Im glad you found it satisfying :) Thank you for watching :)
Wow, I have no words to describe your work. That motorcycle should go to a Ducati museum.
The attention to details, the respect for originality is outstanding. I'm currently restoring a Honda RVF400 to an OEM condición so I'm purchasing OEM Honda bolts and I can tell you that, even being OEM, are not identical to the ones that came with the bike.
Congrats for your incredible work.!
Can't wait for the next one.
Thank you very much for your kind comment and good luck with your RVF project :)
when you put the red visor, I was waiting for a gold trim and Iron man sticker :)
Amazing what you have done, I restored a I bike long ago, the feeling of doing is unique. But you ve done is supreme. Congrats
Thank you im glad you enjoyed the project :)
One of the best restoration jobs I've seen on UA-cam!!!!
Thank you very much :)
More of Motorsport guy but, with great patience and time and commitment you have really resurrected this bike to its former glory. Howdy from the eastern hills of the U.S. mountains.
Thank you for your kind comment :)
I just don't understand!
I found your channel because of the bike jobs. Then I found out about the other stuff. How do you accumulate the knowledge required to do this?! It's not like you're tip-toeing your way around. You really know what you're doing and you're very good at it! Even the video-related stuff is amazing!
I don't care if you say you've got lots of workshop manuals, or that you have spent thousands of hours studying and have years of experience, or three different master's degrees in engineering, that your father did it and your grandfather before him did it too!
There's only one suitable explanation: aliens!
27:01 Ouch!! awesome job!
noksta bln yo también lo note !
Great job. People almost seemed surprised that hard work by a skilled person results in a top quality product.
Thank you :)
You're the man. Outstanding. I just could not stop watching one episode after the other . This is what I call a job of excellency. Full respect.
Thank you so much, Really glad you enjoyed the series :)
Amazing work!!!!, Great jobe, Thank's for share this project men. cheers from Argentina
Thank you for watching :)
Preciosa, la pena es que se termina ya 😢, quiero otro proyecto como éste. 😊
I truly enjoyed this video! I owned a Ducati 900 super sport for quite a while and deeply loved that bike! This restoration series brought back some fond memories of that motorcycle and caused me to start looking for another one. Thanks for the video, great job!
Nice, I hope you find a good one :)
Immaculate work, and much-appreciated humour.
7:20 Looks like old George has got himself a bit of a bad hose-candy habit there, need to keep him away from the cherry double-dip
My favorite Ducati styling / design. Absolutely beautiful 👌🏻 incredible job.
Such a good series. Really well done mate. Just bought a '97 600ss but I'm not sure it will ever get the love yours did! Recently finished restoring my dream '89 ZXR 750 H1 and now into restoring a '74 Yamaha DT 250 I've had since I was 15! Never say never on the Ducati though - my wife won't thank you but I think you have inspired me!
I hated fixing and restoring things till I watched some of your awesome videos. Great work and I really enjoy watching and learning your skills! !!!
Love the silver lettering with gold outline way better than the plain white lettering! Bike came out awesome. Another great build.
Thank you :)
I was watching your video halfway and I wanted to leave a comment before continuing with the video. You are amazing.
you're too kind :)
You restored every bolts with so much attention. The result is perfect. Thanks a lot !
Thank you :)
You did your thing on the Ducati!! Much respect bringing her back...🔥🔥🔥👍🏽
I don't know you... but judging by your work ethic, talent, and humour? I definitely wouldn't mind getting a drink or two with you.
Outstanding work!
Thank you very much, That means a lot :) cheers 🍻
This 600 Supersport series isn't over 'til you take us on the road test!
GREAT WORK! I thoroughly enjoyed this!
I have an '86 750 F1b, used it for both road & track for years, just about completed a freshen up/resto on it, with some engine mods. Most of the time, It had 411/2 Malossis, good for about 130mph/210kph. I'm hoping for 145mph/235kph with the 900 cams & 10:1 pistons.
Not to worry there will be a road test once the weather eventually dries up here. Glad you enjoyed the project :)
@@RRCRestoration Yep! weather. I was shovelling snow yesterday (4") in Niagara.
The better restoration of Ducati I never seen !! Congratulations !
your too kind :)
Great Job ... as usual !!!! I'm waiting a specific tutorial on the zinc-plating process !!!! It's awesome !
A well deserved drink to celebrate a beautiful work 👏👏😊
I only just found this resto! I did the same for a 94' 600SS Half fairing but in yellow. I want another one! Awesome job
Exceptional work! Love to see old, crusty, cast-aside things get a new chance at life. I've always said every good motorcyclist needs a living room display bike, and I can't think of a better one than this.
Also, I could smell that paint stripper through the screen.
Thank you for your kind comment im glad you enjoyed the series :)
Always good to see another classic vehicle saved 👍
You cant beat the sound of a air cooled Ducati, great work there 👍
Yeah its a great raw mechanical sounding noise :)
Awesome!!!...so amazing...thank you for showing the work and not just walking around talking about what you're going to do or explaining what you've done already..I appreciate the 10X more effort...
Thank you very much :)
I think all of us who watch your videos are looking forward to the final moment when you start the motorcycle. Congratulations on the restoration of a great motorcycle, you are a great professional.
Thank you very much :)
Hi yes the drink well and truly deserved! Enjoyed your build and when the key was turned, well that is what its all about, the ride, the sound the enjoyment, Thanks!
Thank you :)
I'm trying to come up with words for what i have seen with this beautiful bike,i'll go with,mesmerising,incredible,jaw dropping,craftsmanship,expertise,you sir are a genius,amazingly talented,to see the transformation is nothing short of astonishing & to own and ride this beauty will surely leave the owner/rider with a permanent grin on their face,thank you for these videos,magnificent.
Thank you very much for your kind comment :)
Top restoration ! and you are left with a great wee bike for the twisties that you don't need to go at hyper speeds to put a smile on your face !
Love this bike but I’m too tall to ride it comfortably. You’ve done an amazing job bringing her back to her former glory. Enjoy!
the best restoration I have ever seen! there was a lot of attention to detail. let the next projects come! congratulations!!!
Thank you very much :)
Great restoration! You are the best friend that bike ever had.

Stunning work, mate; I mean peerless and flawless. Hat off to you; you are a craftsman. Thank you.

Absolutely stunning! It's a work of art! You are a tremendous artisan and craftsman, very well done Sir! Greetings from Southport.
Thank you so much :) Ah Southport so many fond memories from being down there on holiday as a kid :)
I was amazed that the tank is made of Steel.
GOOD AS NEW.
WOW 🤩.
What a transformation. Beautiful paintwork.
Easily the best bike restoration I've seen. Quality job man. Nothing really random about that! Thanks a lot for uploading the series, enjoyed every minute.
Thank you for your kind comment, Im really glad you enjoyed the series :)
Thank you for your really good work. I have many pleasure to watch your videos.
Continue like this and slainte! I'm a swiss people and i love Ducatis and scotch whisky. 😊
from "good for the junkyard" to "straight out of the factory" What a job you did ! =O
ya man. That scotch on da rocks was well earned. As always wonderful to watch, admire & hope one could have the capacity to have the same work ethic & attention to detail you showcase so beautifully.
Thank you very much for your kind comment :)
From beginning till end I watched your video of Ducati restoration and it's awesome. From Philippines mabuhay! God bless you dude's. Stay safe amidst this Corona virus.
Awesome work! Seriously, I think your channel is one of the best on the whole of the internet!!
Thank you for your kind comment :)
Wow 😍 what a restoration, fantastic job. Certainly earned that drink 👏👏
Thank you very much :)
Now make it a cafe recer... Just kidding. Really beautiful work. It's a pleasure to watch something beautiful come back in all of its glory.
Ridiculously good job! I've recently acquired a 1996 900ss that's in need of some love. Very inspiring vid, thanks.
Thank you ,Good luck with your 900 :)
Great to watch. A bit of workshop envy. When the red screen was about to go on I thought "WTF???"
Loved the Honda C90 and thought it couldn‘t get any better. Then the gorgeous looking TL. And now this ultracool Ducati. Car restos are cool. But take years. It is so satisfying seeing projects getting done and you just deliver. Thank you very much. Greetings form Germany :-)
Thank you so much for your kind comment :)
Perfect craftmenship. With love from Turkey :)
Brilliant! Just brilliant! The perfect little series. (Teased us with the wait on that last one but worth every minute).
Thank you im so glad you enjoyed the series :)
followed this resto from the outset. Bloody beautidul mate!!! a cracking steed for sure!! well done, you're meticulous ways are something to admire and aspire to. Much happiness and health to you 🍻💯
Thank you very much for your kind comment :)
Thanks indeed for sharing. Lovely to watch how you work and master every area. Mechanics, plating , painting. Great! Regards fron Spain

Thank you for your kind comment :)
Your skills and attention to detail are amazing. This is therapy for me, Thank you.
Your restoration is incredible, this Ducati deserve to be in a museum! 👌😉
