WebBikeWorld has a great article on the custom/restoration of a 74 Ducati 750 GT. Lots of good info and tips as well as pictures.
This diary captures the high points of finding, owning and “custovating” a 1974 Ducati 750GT. Custovation is my word for customizing and renovating the build of a one-of-a-kind vintage motorcycle. The custovation captures the heritage of the early 70’s bevel drive racers and adds some modern and personal touches to make the bike reliable and safe ride at speed, while maintaining the head-turn factor. This diary is a completely selfish act to preserve the details of the 750 GT custovation events that took place before, during and after with the notion that it inspire or guide others to develop their own custovation project.
This bike is gorgeous when it is done. The purists might complain that it isn’t original anymore, but lets face it, almost no bike is original unless it is a museum piece and this one is much more ridable.
