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.

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 :)
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
You have me binge watching as well. Amazing work bringing back these beautiful bikes!
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!

Thank you very much and i'll see you all again with another project very soon. RRC
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
Johnnie
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.
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 :)
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 😛😍
Awesome, it's the best restoration I ever see, I love your job, congratulation from Italy 💪💪💪
Grazie mille :)
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.
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.
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 :)
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!
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 :)
One of the best restoration jobs I've seen on TH-cam!!!!
Thank you very much :)
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 :)
Fantastic! The best motorcycle restoration project on TH-cam! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
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 🍻
That’s a thing of beauty!! Great job on a perfect restoration, it looks amazing!!
Thank you for your kind comment :)
3:35AM! Woke up to the notification! 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Sorry, Hope i didnt wake you. Hope you enjoy the final episode :)
@@RRCRestoration I really did 🔥🔥
@@RRCRestoration 😆
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 :)
Great job. People almost seemed surprised that hard work by a skilled person results in a top quality product.
Thank you :)
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 :)
Oh yeah baby ! I was waiting for this ! Love from France, love your work

Superbe restauration👍
My favorite Ducati styling / design. Absolutely beautiful 👌🏻 incredible job.
She looks as every Ducati should, perfect in Red👍👍👍
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 :)
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!
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.
You cant beat the sound of a air cooled Ducati, great work there 👍
Yeah its a great raw mechanical sounding noise :)
Amazing work!!!!, Great jobe, Thank's for share this project men. cheers from Argentina
Thank you for watching :)
when you put the red visor, I was waiting for a gold trim and Iron man sticker :)
Love the silver lettering with gold outline way better than the plain white lettering! Bike came out awesome. Another great build.
Thank you :)
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
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 :)
27:01 Ouch!! awesome job!
noksta bln yo también lo note !
I will always believe this series was the most beautiful Ducati sport bikes ever built.
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 :)
Preciosa, la pena es que se termina ya 😢, quiero otro proyecto como éste. 😊
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
Always good to see another classic vehicle saved 👍
I was amazed that the tank is made of Steel.
GOOD AS NEW.
WOW 🤩.
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!
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.
A well deserved drink to celebrate a beautiful work 👏👏😊
You restored every bolts with so much attention. The result is perfect. Thanks a lot !
Thank you :)
Immaculate work, and much-appreciated humour.
She Turned Out Beautiful, Expected Nothing Less from You, 12 Outta 10 Mate. 🎉🎉🎉
Great restoration! You are the best friend that bike ever had.
Thank you for your kind comment :)
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 :)
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! !!!
I was watching your video halfway and I wanted to leave a comment before continuing with the video. You are amazing.

The better restoration of Ducati I never seen !! Congratulations !

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 :)
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
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'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 :)
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 :)
Spectacular! Absolutely amazing restoration work, and a stunningly gorgeous end result. Bravo!
Looks beautiful! Fantastic job restoring this Italian beauty.
Thank you very much :)
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 :)
Your attention to detail is almost impeccable, keeps me coming back for every video!
Thank you very much :)
You did your thing on the Ducati!! Much respect bringing her back...🔥🔥🔥👍🏽
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.
Trabalho incrível, estou acompanhando desde o primeiro EP!
Parabéns!
Beautiful restoration!!! I thoroughly loved this series. Well done.
What a masterpiece! Incredible work. Thanks for sharing. I hope there will be more Ducati restorations in the future.
Your skills and attention to detail are amazing. This is therapy for me, Thank you.
Brilliant, just brilliant, I have 2 motor bikes in my garage that need a lot of TLC and this sure is one hell of an inspiration to get amongst them!
Nice im very glad i could inspire you :)
I love the 6 videos about the Ducati restoration!! Wow!!
Just amazing. Great to see an old Duke staying on the road too. Well done, excellent channel!
Thank you very much :)
Great to watch. A bit of workshop envy. When the red screen was about to go on I thought "WTF???"
Great Job ... as usual !!!! I'm waiting a specific tutorial on the zinc-plating process !!!! It's awesome !
Thoroughly enjoy watching the restorations you're doing. Watched the tryc, and this in the last week.👍🏼
Absolutely loved every minute of this Ducati restoration 👏
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. 😊
A true master at work. Looks absolutely amazing. Love your videos mate!
Amazing! Thank you so much for making this series. Best regards from Brasilia, Brazil.
Incredibly fine workmanship, very fascinating to watch the transformation. Well done.
Thank you :)
Really enjoyed this series and one of the best restorations I’ve seen on TH-cam to date if not the only one on TH-cam to date. So satisfying seeing something run down look like brand new again.
Thank you for your kind comment :)
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 :)
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 !
perfect job this is a work of art I would like to continue seeing restorations like this 👍🏼
Stunning work, mate; I mean peerless and flawless. Hat off to you; you are a craftsman. Thank you.
Thank you for your kind comment :)
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 :)
Huge respect for the work you do. Love the bike.
It always amazes me when those things actually start after all that work. Well done.
You deserve a scotch better than Bell's for all your hard work. Incredible. Thank you so much for this detailed build video.
Thank you so much :)
I was so happy to see this video pop up on notifications, truly amazing and beautiful restoration! You do an amazing job! Love the bits with George 😂
