- Well things are starting to get exciting now that the bike is 90% completely restored only the fairings left to go.
Anyway in this episode i work my way through the last of the parts that need to be cleaned, painted, plated and fabricated.
First thing i done was to arrange all the parts that were left ont he table to give me a clear idea of what needed done.The first thing i done was to give the wiring loom a soak in soapy water to remove all the years of grime that had built up on it, while that was soaking i made a start on stripping down the rest of the metal parts and putting them into my deox c rust removal solution to remove all traces of rust and to prepare them for the plating process.
While the Deox c was doing its thing i removed the wiring loom from the cleaning solution and hung it up to dry out thoroughly then grabbed the rear seats and kickstand and headed over to the parts washer to scrub all the chain oil and grime off of them before polishing the bare alloy pieces and re-painting the anodized parts as unfortunately i dont have access to an anodizing system ......for the moment ;)
I then retrieved all the parts from the rust eater and got to work with the plating them in zinc and protecting the zinc with yellow and blue passivates. I will be making a video on my electroplating system soon so i wont go into detail here.
Once the plating was done i could move onto the refitting process and first job on that list was to fit the replacement shocks i managed to get a hold of, absolutely delighted with the the fact they have just been rebuilt as well so that saves me time, effort and money which is always good.
After that came the fitting of the wiring loom a job i always hate as it takes forever to try and get the loom to behave and fit back into all the places it came out of neatly but i managed it and got it all roughly cable tied into position the final ties will be added once the fairings go on so that i can hide them out of sight.
Then all i was left with were all the small jobs like fitting and tensioning the chain, fitting the calipers, hoses, banjo bolts, rear sets and kickstand and a couple of switches oh and the headlight, taillight and instrument cluster i left these for last as i didnt want anything to happen to them while working on the rest of the bike.
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.

Really Random Channel
Ducati 600 Supersport Full Restoration EP4 - Розваги
Hey Guys, As you have probably noticed already i have updated the channel name and logo. The channel is no longer Really Random Channel it is now RRC Restoration. Just incase you were wondering why the water marks in the video still say Really Random Channel. Enjoy.
Por favor coloca subtitutos en los videos, es de mucha utilidad. Muchas Gracias. / Please put subtitles in the videos, it is very useful. Thank you so much.
There is nothing I can really say that hasn't already been said. Your video's are a complete joy to watch and your attention to detail is second to none.
Thanks for sharing your experience with us.
Nice to see you again :) Glad you're still enjoying the videos plenty more interesting projects to come this year ;)
The amount of TLC this 600SS receives is quite something. When I started my motorlife, the 600 was the baby Duc. (there also was a rare 400 I believe). If you couldn't afford the 750/900, you went with the 600. Didn't cost much, performed reasonable, and great fuel economics. Secondhand prices dropped like brick, and it seemed the 600's stayed in the ads forever. I noticed a Monster 600, participating at one of our club tours lately, and it was in simular shape as your 600 SS was. They're work horses, not meant to be pretty anymore. That's why I admire your work and devotion to restore this baby Duc. Not many are that lucky to meet a caring owner.
Thank you for leaving a very interesting comment i enjoyed reading it :)
Here in the USA, the 600 Supersport is quite rare to see, and I ride a 750 Paso, so I'm looking for them. lol
In Italy, was available also the 350cc, my first bike!
@@RRCRestoration GOOD work so far...Wondering when you will post last vid...love to see it up and running. Restoring my 600ss well I have 2 of them and A 750 SS. Nice bikes if you get them running right. You need to take time restoring old bikes. fortunately all mine are under ! 2,000 miles. first restoration be back on the road by early may. your posts helped me so much so I thank you for them and keep posting buddy....
My restoration won't be original..I'm dedicating to my hero Carl Foggy decals. its a one of rebuild and will be a one off. full engine strip down and rebuild is completed. Second 600ss will be original but carbs are missing n finding it tough finding ordinal parts ..Any help be gratefully appreciated.
The rain in the background is so relaxing. Very nice to watch
Thank you for not playing music while you rebuild. I find it relaxing to just hear the sounds of nuts, bolt, wrenches in action. Your a true chap and an Einstein in your true videos. Thank you from Oro Valley Arizona.
Nice to see someone pay attention to detail even on parts that are hidden.. Rare commitment. Kudos!
Thank you for your kind comment :)
I guess I will do 3 comments in a row!!! As a Ducati lover this series has been sooooo enjoyable. As a tinkerer who loves doing these things the series has been sooooo enjoyable! As a person who loves meticulous attention to detail this series has been amazing!!! Great work you do - all around.
Thank you so much for your kind comment and im really glad you are enjoying the series :)
Your cleaning and replating of the hardware came out wonderfully. That really makes all the difference in the overall result of a true restoration. Cheers!
Thank you :)
I’d rather listen to a storm in the background than some crappy background music, thanks for the awesome vids!
The best bike resto ive ever seen
First rate resto. Thoroughly enjoyed this series. Very envious of your workshop equipment!
Thank you very much :)
What an absolute pleasure to watch this bike go back together. It's the UA-cam highlight of my week when these videos drop.
Thank you very much for your kind comment :)
solid proof you don't need music to hook your viewers, mega job!
Thank you very much :)
I love the zinc plating you do. Such a transformation. Makes things look factory new again.
I just watched all of the bikes videos from start to finish. Can’t wait to see it fire up.
Bravo! a real pleasure to watch all episodes. Greetings from Greece!
Thank you very much :)
So impressive as to your memory knowing where it all fits back together looks bloody amazingly
One of the nicest restorations I've seen, on one of the nicest bikes around. Great choice. Great work. Thanks for sharing it with us.
Thank you very much for your kind comment :)
GJ man! The beautyful 600SS was my first "Superbike" during the time i was in German education by ducati. My Boss allowed me to take here with me nearly every weekend. That is now 20years ago. After this my first own Superbike was the beautiful 750SS. After this i drove the the 900ss and the 900FE. All wonderful bikes too. But the 750SS will always be remain in my memory as a reliable and handsome bike. cant wait to see her finished.
Brings back memories of my 900 SL ☺️
Literally cannot fault these videos. I would really love to see more of these bikes being restored by yourself
I've never clicked on a notification video as fast as this one.👍👍👍
Nice, I hope you enjoy the video :)
@@RRCRestoration inded, i really did enjoy your work. I can't wait to see the end result. 👍👍🔥🔥
Same here
Not too sure how anyone can give this or any of this project a thumbs down, I'm gob smacked at the quality of your work... Nice job big time💣👍👍
This is an awesome restoration.....I used to have a 600ss,and this has made me want another to restore like this!
It's good to see when a beautiful machine receives the amount of love that it deserves.
Oh man, can't believe it's almost finished!! Loving the series!! 🍻
Love this. Cant get enough. I restored a 1200 Ducati Monster. This video makes me want to do it all again!
Beautiful work. Please use a rivet link in that chain with that engine torque. Would hate for it to work itself off and the chain make a mess of that clean swinging arm.
This bike is almost ready for the showroom, love this serie and as always thumps upp :-)
Thank you very much :)
Seeing you use a torque wrench keeps my OCD in check... Fantastic work 😄
Another brilliant job, outstanding in every way, notwithstanding you have brought and 'old' Duke back to life which is a good thing. Look forward to hearing it fire up.
It is impossible not to admire what you do ...
All of your restoration vids keep me spellbound, from simple to all of the bikes. It gives me hope that I can get a rebuild done myself. Thanks for all the great work, a pleasure to watch. Cheers
Thank you very much for your kind comment :)
Apenas vi la notificación tuve que ver el vídeo... Pero mejor me lo guardo para verlo más calmado...
Love it! Not too much of a street bike kind of guy, but I sincerely appreciate the precise and meticulous way you tackle everything! Extremely nice work!
Thank you for your kind comment :)
Thank you RRC. So enjoyable to see this duke coming back to life. I will steal some of your tips as about to start a resto on a 996
Thank you :) 996's are gorgeous! id love to get my hands on one one day.
I'm watching this video, and others that you have made, and the ''storm'' you mentioned would be the ''beast from the east2'' at that time!! Couple this with 'covid' during that year, and now the 'omicron' variant, and we've had us a rubbish 2 years or so, your videos keep me, and plenty of other people i dare say, sane. Please, keep up your good work. (Sue's hubby, mikky, from Buckie, Scotland.)
You've probably added at least a decade back onto the bikes life great video thanks for sharing
lets hope so :)
I’ve been on bated breath for the next vid. So awesome and satisfying. This should have been what I did the first go. Awesome!!
Awesome job, can’t wait to see the finished bike.
Thank you :)
That is coming along great! I can't wait to see it all together and hear it run! I love your attention to detail all the way down to the zinc and gold stain of the parts. Love your channel!
Thank you so much for your kind comment im glad you like it :)
I'm in awed amazement with how nice the rust/oxidization cleaning and plating of fasteners and brackets that you do always turns out, jeez! I would have put a little dab of dielectric grease on all those electrical connectors, though, especially after a water soak.
I can't wait for the last episode of this restoration. I love Ducati content.
I was waiting for Such long time for the continuous Video of Supersport restore.....And Finally You upload It Thank's And Beautiful Work You Are Doing .....
Awsome as always. The bike has come back together nicely again.
Thank you :)
Thanks for the vids. You make it look so easy! I'm wishing you the best in all you do.
The storm doesn't deter me from watching your vlog. Looking foward to the next one, peace out.
I never get tired of your videos, always interesting.. Peace
Thank you very much :)
What a cracking job sir, I'm going to get my shed built . I need to get a bike to do up. I really enjoyed this show. Well done
Thank you, Good luck with your shed build :)
I loved the first 5 parts (including 3.5), can't wait to watch part 5 in about two seconds =)
I'm still amazed by the quality of your work video after video, truely beautiful sir, can't wait for the next episode !

Amazing job ! Hope to see the final result soon !! I love this bike !
Super travail, je rêverai d'avoir le temps de faire ça sur la mienne, hâte de voir la mise en route et bonne continuation à toi 😁
Thanks. This was brilliant to watch - amazing that you do all your own plating too.
Thank you, Glad you enjoyed it :)
Splendet nice job man!, plus some little humor in it. i like that. up to the grand finale!!!
Man I was hoping to see it complete, but I can wait for one more. You do such great work, good job on this.
Sorry about that. Im working on the final episode as we speak. Glad you enjoy the videos :)
Great restauration. And what a bike it is 👍😁
Thank you :)
Looking good.
* looks at forks hoping they'd appear at my house* the old ones that is lol. Keep up the good work
You make my life sweeter with your videos. Wonderful work and great camera work !
Thank you for your kind comment :)
That zinc plating process was really cool! Glad I saw that as I never actually knew it was a liquid plating - the zinc. Almost like anodizing but stronger of course.
@@Pampls zinc plating is a common coating to prevent rust on bolts and metals that can rust. The process he is completing is redoing the coating to give it the protection again.
Thank you for your nice videos. Learning a lot, enjoyable filming. Keep up this good work! 😄👍🏻🏍
Thank you very much, Glad you enjoy them :)
Really look forward to these uploads. You are such a perfectionist.
Thank you :)
Sweet it’s coming along great man👍🏻 I can’t wait to hear you start it up
Not long to wait now ;)
Looks great man ! Looking forward to the next one, Thanks for posting !
Thanks for watching :)
Oh man this is good.. SO GOOD !!

Thank you :)
i can't wait to see it finished. i enjoy watching your channel. thanks
Thank you very much :)
Can't wait to see it finished lovely work..
That is actually a really nicely put together bike, both by you and Ducati🏴🇬🇧Good job👍👍
Very nice work I was surprised to see a split link in in the chain didn't think supper bikes used them.
Beautiful restoration, not rushed and conducted in good chronological order. The work performed in the series of related videos is as close to specified professional factory spec / correct example as you can get. In short..."A job well done and something to be proud of" . Always strive for better but maintain that positive work ethic! I'm looking forward to the end result, I am confident it will appear the same as your others. Keep up the excellent work!
Cheers from Canada
Thank you very much for your kind comment its a pleasure to have you along for the ride :)
