the more you talk about what you want to do the more elaborate this is becoming. Thats why i like your builds. you love going all the way with it once you get the ball rolling until its a thing of beauty on the outside and inside.
This video has me rolling. I remember the first time I took off the tank from my Hyper. I wish I had of seen this series sooner, I've got a step by step tutorial on Ducati.ms for doing the valves and belts which includes pulling the body work and tank.
Great series mate, I have a Multistrada that probably needs refreshing at some point. This was the reason I first subscribed to you back in the day when you were building the CBR. You've come a long way and your success is well deserved. Looking forward to the end product. Stay safe!
A bike is never really yours until you've wielded some spanners and taken it apart and rebuilt it. First thing I do with my competition bikes, take them apart, make sure everything is properly greased then rebuild and loctite. That way if and when something fails, you know how best to change it, what order to disassemble, what tools you need etc. All makes the bike feel personally yours. Great content this series, really enjoying it.
This was the reason why i wanted to do the valve service on my 848, but I was too intimidated by not having the correct shim sizes and proper tools for locking the motor tdc etc.....
Floor looks great, even makes the bikes look way better on Camara! Marvel intro is perfect too 😄 can't believe how much stuff you've managed to get sorted out for the bike already, nice work
Chops. I love these sorts of videos. Being a mechanic i can appreciate the trials and tribulations you will be encountering. Keep at it mate. Brilliant.
Looking forward to following your restoration! I'm current under a country wide lockdown so I can't work on my own bike build, but I can tell you're going to turn this Ducati into a beast!
You can cut the finger of the glove to use as a bung, fill the bit of cloth if you need to stick in hole. Or you could just cable tie the finger of the glove over the fuel pump part that was dripping. Keep them coming Chops!! 👊🏍👍
One thing I usually do when taking bikes apart.. especially now that the tank is off, I usually give it a good bath with some degreaser and a brush and rinse all the dirt away. Blow it dry or let it sit in the sun to dry. It will make working on the bike much more fun!
Leave the fork tubes alone do the triple tree red to match frame sub frame burnt bronze to match engine case in my color scheme feeble mind. Great video,your post production is always top notch!🏍
After your black out/ battery change the picture quality seemed brighter and more detailed.Can you imagine the price for a air filter change, if they have to go down deep like yourself.💪💪👍
You know your getting bored in lock down when someone's garage floor is entertaining. It does look good though 👍 I felt a huge sense of relief when you finally got the tank off 😀
Floor looks great, watch out for the bike sidestands when they load up, the paint can chip as they push down. I used a puk under mine just in case. Good luck with the restoration.
I'm a bit late on this, I have 1000ss, same engine paint problem. I took mine to a place in Kent, they bunged all the inlets and vapour basted it. Really good result, no paint on the engine just gt85.
Well done chops, great video. Taking the fuel tank off was also a real pain on my Multistrada project. I just new you would leak fuel when you disconnected the leads from the pump ☺. Warning, go easy with the fuel pump wiring as you can introduce a fault where the pump intermittently stops working! I spent hours troubleshooting that one 😐
Love your work Chops. I bought one recently and have subscribed and am watching with interest. Would be good if you could post links to the sites you are buying the kit from below the videos as the work progresses. Cheers
Great vid , thanks from stopping me going mental ! as one of the major supermarket says 'every little helps' I look forward to the next episode, the sooner the better please ! stay safe
fascinating stuff. my dream of building a bike is gonna stay a dream tho. dont have your guts or knowhow... any thoughts on front sus internals / upgrade, did u say and i missed it?
You're a braver man than me Chopsy...I don't even like taking the seat off! But strangely, I love vids like this. Looking forward to the next instalment, thanks.
Brings back painful and expensive memories! I stripped a Sport Classic for the exact same reason. Ended up having engine stripped and soda blasted. It did look nice in raw ally but probably not ideal if plan is to ride in the wet. I think I ended up lifting the frame off the engine. I made a small dolly and strapped the engine to it. The engines are surprisingly heavy! Drain the petrol tank so it keeps the original shape. Have fun!
replace the 3 nuts holding the exhaust onto the head is my tip. They suffer from dissimilar metal corrosion and eat the studs. cylinder off, so you can machine and re-tap. I change them yearly. Been bitten twice. all Ducati's are the same. enjoyed the video fella
Great tip for you.... something I will be doing to my bike. In this video you are suggesting that you're gonna do something with the triple clamps. Look for a guy on TH-cam 'Cameron Niemela' and he polishes out the castings on the triple clamps....looks amazing and would look great on the Duc....👍
People used to joke about Italian bikes electronics being unreliable, when you place them directly where water and crud can be sprayed on them you understand why the jokes came about! Also why do bike manufacturers use so many fixings to attach stuff when half the amount would do!
You mentioned inducation kits and long range tank. Having had both options in teh past I can tell you that you can have one or the other - not both together. The stacks/filters set up of the induction kit, whether Ducshop or Beast (both from US) foul on the long range tank (California Cycleworks, also US) - those cone filters are MASSIVE! But properly set up you'll get a genuine 90+bhp, much better throtte response and a lovely induction roar. Both are a great mod, for different reasons. Currently got the LRT on mine but plan to go back to the induction kit - once I can face the hassle of wrestling with the tank. And you thought the standard tank was a PITA...
Yes indeed found that out now, really want the induction kit but it's very expensive and then shipping and import duty on top! Think its standard filter for me 😪
@@LambChopRides Believe me, you NEED that induction kit! Look at that restricted airbox hole that the standard bike breathes thru - even the enlarged version supplied with the Termi pipes is pretty poor. Looks like Ducshop and possibly TPO have stopped production but they do come up secondhand occasionally. Worth waiting for, especially as you already have a free breathing exhaust . I'd sell you mine but 1. It's going back on the bike and 2. Your salivating over Sato rearsets has cost me big bucks - even if mine are some ex-demo ones!
Thanks for the fantastic entertainment 007. Bit dangerous though; makes me want to find an air cooled Ducati, spend some money and get dirty in the shed myself. I’m far better at watching other people work. Looking forward to the next instalment!
Lamb Chop Rides have you sold the gsxr1000 yet ? I spoke to you about buying your old exhaust if you remember ? Great work has always chops my favourite blogger 👍
Lamb Chop Rides that’s a shame mate hopefully things will get back to normal soon ! We can ride & work Have a cracking Easter weekend and stay at home 🏠😂👍
Loving the series. I'm almost done doing up a Monster796 for my daughter (condition was better then your Hypermotard). Can relate to lots of the little problems you get into all the time. No better place to be (man cave) in these times. Keep up the great work!
Congrats man, really interesting video, I'll be waiting for the next episode. I aso own a 796 Hyper. In my opinion (as they already told you) i would also change the exhaust for the double pipes one (termi aswell), though, incredible sound. Greetings from the Basque Country!
Another top vid...brilliant. keep them rolling now more than ever for our sanity ...!!!🤣🤣🤣 Slightly off topic but would you know if the vht paint you used on your blade is the same as other blades...? I have a 929 and both casings are quite tatty from scuffs etc, not from crashing tho lol....I'm struggling to fing a code or a close match..! The bike is mint but the casings are really letting it down..!...
Thanks Chris! No the paint wasnt a match to the standard colour. Think you will struggle to get a match in a decent paint. See what my silver looks like on the Duc it might be close??
@@LambChopRides I'm not bothered if it's not exact but somewhere close would do, it's the semi gloss that I think I'm going to struggle with..! Yeah I will have a look and see if it's close...much appreciated tho. I'm surprised that nobody has produced paint to match readily available...! Oh well, something to keep me from going mad I suppose...lol ! This is basically the last job I can do on mine, everything has been cleaned , polished, refurbished as best it can be for now. Maybe even a complete diffrent colour would look good..but I would have to try find one already done ..thanks anyway ...stay safe. !
So what was the real time to get the tank off? Even once you learn the nuance it seems like an involved procedure. I’m loving that I can get my 990 SMR tank off in 3 minutes. This video reminded me why I don’t want a hyper project bike - even if they weigh nothing and look beautiful. That said, your video is a welcome surprise during these times!
Chops love your work! - definitely turn the top yokes and risers black! But Got to keep those forks gold, keeps the balance of the bright work especially with the gold crank case! Unless you're going to powder coat the rear sub frame to black too? Then, THEN you turn her into a black and red stealth bomber!
Started to watch your videos as I’m planning on doing the same thing too my 748 like your Hyper it’s starting to look tired the engine paint is far far worse than on your bike so looking forward to seeing you do the engine. Personally I’d paint the subframe red!!! Looking forward to the next one👍
Thanks Ian, yeah looking forward to getting to the engine as that's the best bit when a lovely new clean looking bikes starts to emerge. I trying to decide on colour schemes, it's quite tricky but black red & gold are always good combos 😎
Most modern bikes are a nightmare to disassemble as the bike is built around the wiring loom in stages. I’ve just taken the rear suspension bearings apart on my older bikes. Always worth a re grease even if the bearings are still good as often overlooked during servicing. Please keep the forks gold!
Change all the bolts on the fuel pumpfor ti or stainless...also change the filter while your there (should be done on every service) - you have to drop the pump out and theres a simple to change inline filter...theres a couple of custom bolts in there that are mild steel - (i clean mine regularly with some strong acid...as for the tank... i kinda lift the front and go forward over the bars then you dont scag any of the cables on the rear....
Great video. Taking tanks off is always a pain. I love monster1100 evo. Something about that engine. Nearly bought one but, opted for a Cagiva raptor 650. Not quite as special but, super cheap and reliable.
Yeah it has bags of character that's the appeal I think. Doing this job is certainly making me fall in love with the bike. Well if it continues to be a pita I may soon hate it 😂
Thankfully they made it much easier to get the tank off the 821 Hyperstrada! Don't recall ever taking the tank off of my 796 Hypermotard - if I did, then it was less faff than this 1100. Great video though :-)
Damn lucky you could actually remove the quick disconnect fittings for the fuel pump! Mine are stuck solid meaning I have to also remove the fuel pump to get the tank off lol, just makes getting to the airfilters even more fun :)

I also have done so much to my Supersport. Powdercoating, vinyl wrapping. So much fun. Good luck with your restoration.
Bringing the community together over an old Ducati... Awesome. That's some krud on those bolts.
Thanks for taking us along for the ride. Great bike and good luck. Cheers
the more you talk about what you want to do the more elaborate this is becoming. Thats why i like your builds. you love going all the way with it once you get the ball rolling until its a thing of beauty on the outside and inside.
It NEEDS the twin exhaust back. Those are just pure sex to look at.
This video has me rolling. I remember the first time I took off the tank from my Hyper. I wish I had of seen this series sooner, I've got a step by step tutorial on Ducati.ms for doing the valves and belts which includes pulling the body work and tank.
Great series mate, I have a Multistrada that probably needs refreshing at some point. This was the reason I first subscribed to you back in the day when you were building the CBR. You've come a long way and your success is well deserved. Looking forward to the end product. Stay safe!
Thanks Mark much appreciated buddy 👍👍
Loving the series so far. Keep up the good work Chops!
Thanks Ed 👍
I know not always possible to do these kind of vids (builds). But they are in my opinion the best ones. Well done chops!
Thanks Stephen, its certainly back to the channels routes that's for sure 👍👍
Thanks for starting on this, watching with interest as I'm keen on one of these for my next bike.
"Dirty old man strips Italian in red" :p
Haha 😎
A bike is never really yours until you've wielded some spanners and taken it apart and rebuilt it. First thing I do with my competition bikes, take them apart, make sure everything is properly greased then rebuild and loctite. That way if and when something fails, you know how best to change it, what order to disassemble, what tools you need etc.
All makes the bike feel personally yours. Great content this series, really enjoying it.
I do agree with you, really bond with a bike when you know it inside out 👍
This was the reason why i wanted to do the valve service on my 848, but I was too intimidated by not having the correct shim sizes and proper tools for locking the motor tdc etc.....
Floor looks great, even makes the bikes look way better on Camara! Marvel intro is perfect too 😄 can't believe how much stuff you've managed to get sorted out for the bike already, nice work
Thanks matey 👍👍
Great series. This keeps me sane in lockdown
Chops. I love these sorts of videos. Being a mechanic i can appreciate the trials and tribulations you will be
encountering. Keep at it mate. Brilliant.
Keep the fork stanchions gold! It matches the engine and looks the business with the red paint! Stay safe, and cheers!
Yeah think you're right..
Super excited for this rebuild I have the same bike but 796 version also in the same condition as yours very keen to follow
Looking forward to following your restoration! I'm current under a country wide lockdown so I can't work on my own bike build, but I can tell you're going to turn this Ducati into a beast!
You can cut the finger of the glove to use as a bung, fill the bit of cloth if you need to stick in hole.
Or you could just cable tie the finger of the glove over the fuel pump part that was dripping.
Keep them coming Chops!! 👊🏍👍
Good tip 👍
I get to a point where I know I need help to put it all back together, you are very brave!!
Same may happen to me! 😂
its the british chase on two wheels, fab work, love it, keep it up
Love the series! This episode reminds me of my experience of taking the fuel tank off my Monster EVO.. Quite a pain first time.
One thing I usually do when taking bikes apart.. especially now that the tank is off, I usually give it a good bath with some degreaser and a brush and rinse all the dirt away. Blow it dry or let it sit in the sun to dry. It will make working on the bike much more fun!
Good tip 👍👍
Well played Chops, great start to your wee quarantine project 🤘🏻🏴🤘🏻
Painting the subframe in white would be very good looking !
Leave the fork tubes alone do the triple tree red to match frame sub frame burnt bronze to match engine case in my color scheme feeble mind. Great video,your post production is always top notch!🏍
This is going to be a good build to watch. Great work Chops!
Nice deliberate approach and no F-bombs unless edited out 😊
Enjoying this , can’t wait for new parts to turn up 👍
After your black out/ battery change the picture quality seemed brighter and more detailed.Can you imagine the price for a air filter change, if they have to go down deep like yourself.💪💪👍
Bike off of engine is definitely the way to go. Looking forward to seeing what you do about the engine paint.
You know your getting bored in lock down when someone's garage floor is entertaining.
It does look good though 👍
I felt a huge sense of relief when you finally got the tank off 😀
Hehe yes indeed 😂
Awesome Chops. Looking forward for the next installment. 👍🙂
Floor looks great, watch out for the bike sidestands when they load up, the paint can chip as they push down. I used a puk under mine just in case. Good luck with the restoration.
Yes good tip Nigel 👍
I am absolutely loving this! Can’t wait to see the progress.
I'm a bit late on this, I have 1000ss, same engine paint problem. I took mine to a place in Kent, they bunged all the inlets and vapour basted it. Really good result, no paint on the engine just gt85.
Hey.. love watching the disassembly. I can take anything apart but putting back together is another beast lol
Really looking forward to a proper restoration on this mate. Perfect quarantine viewing.
Well done chops, great video. Taking the fuel tank off was also a real pain on my Multistrada project. I just new you would leak fuel when you disconnected the leads from the pump ☺.

Great vid , thanks from stopping me going mental ! as one of the major supermarket says 'every little helps' I look forward to the next episode, the sooner the better please ! stay safe
Can't wait to see this finished Chops, gonna look schweeeet!!
Hi Could you send a link for the floor paint and a few quick tips on prep if any. Cheers
Fair play chops! Helping us through these in certain times. Please get the rear subframe powder coated to match
Yes looked at some photos of others who have gone red.. not sure I like it..
fascinating stuff. my dream of building a bike is gonna stay a dream tho. dont have your guts or knowhow... any thoughts on front sus internals / upgrade, did u say and i missed it?
Cheers chops you saved me from homes under the hammer (the first lot of this morning)
Always great to watch
Stay safe all the best 👍👍👍
Haha, well thank god 😂 you're welcome Michael and stay safe yourself buddy 👍
Are you going to change the colour of the rear subframe? Would look great in black
Nice project. Looking forward to future episodes.
Look forward to the next episode!
You're a braver man than me Chopsy...I don't even like taking the seat off! But strangely, I love vids like this. Looking forward to the next instalment, thanks.
Floor looks great MacGyver 👌
Loving the project chops keep up the good work 👍
Awesome work as always can't wait for more
this is just what I needed this morning. Thanks Chop 👏🏻👍🏽
Welcome to the world of working on Ducati's 😂😂😂😂

I was going to suggest the same thing! Remove the casting marks before coating, looks so much better!
People used to joke about Italian bikes electronics being unreliable, when you place them directly where water and crud can be sprayed on them you understand why the jokes came about!
Also why do bike manufacturers use so many fixings to attach stuff when half the amount would do!
Haha yes very true! 👍
I love these things, I can't afford an SP would you recommend the standard 950? no one seems to review them.

Just love your garage work and the ride outs 😀 your a star chops
Thanks Ashley 👍
Lamb Chop Rides have you sold the gsxr1000 yet ? I spoke to you about buying your old exhaust if you remember ? Great work has always chops my favourite blogger 👍
Oh yes hi Ash, no Wheels have it still but they are closed now of course. It was sold but guy pulled out of the deal when the shit hit the fan ☹
Lamb Chop Rides that’s a shame mate hopefully things will get back to normal soon ! We can ride & work
Have a cracking Easter weekend and stay at home 🏠😂👍
The floor looks good. Chops . That is one fine Ducati my friend. Looking forward to the final results 👍
looking good chops Can’t wait to see the next progress.
Would it be good to powercoat the rear subframe in black to match the new forks?
Yes that could be an option Oliver 👍
Loving the series. I'm almost done doing up a Monster796 for my daughter (condition was better then your Hypermotard). Can relate to lots of the little problems you get into all the time. No better place to be (man cave) in these times. Keep up the great work!
Thanks Ronnie and you're right best place to unwind other than riding of riding of course 👍
Chops, best channel on TH-cam...keep it up.
Thanks matey 👍

Really enjoying this series. Awesome bike. 🙂
Thanks Alex 👍
Good vids so far Chops. Would love to know the costs of the project from start to finish including cost of bike as you go through. 👍
Hey chops maybe send that rear subframe off for a matte black powder coat too would look killer
Good job Mr Chops! Look forward to next instalment. Might even inspire me to tackle my old ZZR11...
We want long and snappy not short and snappy....Cant wait for part 3 .
Another top vid...brilliant. keep them rolling now more than ever for our sanity ...!!!🤣🤣🤣

Brilliant 2nd video Chops 👌 thanks from danny

Unless you're going to powder coat the rear sub frame to black too? Then, THEN you turn her into a black and red stealth bomber!
I'm actually thinking of going proper ohlins gold on the forks now rather than black to keep some colour 👍
Lamb Chop Rides oh you tease ;)
Are you going to change the colour of the tank?
Started to watch your videos as I’m planning on doing the same thing too my 748 like your Hyper it’s starting to look tired the engine paint is far far worse than on your bike so looking forward to seeing you do the engine. Personally I’d paint the subframe red!!! Looking forward to the next one👍
Thanks Ian, yeah looking forward to getting to the engine as that's the best bit when a lovely new clean looking bikes starts to emerge. I trying to decide on colour schemes, it's quite tricky but black red & gold are always good combos 😎
wow bit of a mission working on that bike !
Most modern bikes are a nightmare to disassemble as the bike is built around the wiring loom in stages.
I’ve just taken the rear suspension bearings apart on my older bikes. Always worth a re grease even if the bearings are still good as often overlooked during servicing.
Please keep the forks gold!
Yes do agree David 👍
NNNNOOOOO!!! Petrol on your nice clean floor. 😃
This is gonna be a great build.
Should always disconnect the battery and drain the fuel as first two jobs, loving the channel btw.
Going well so far 👍
Change all the bolts on the fuel pumpfor ti or stainless...also change the filter while your there (should be done on every service) - you have to drop the pump out and theres a simple to change inline filter...theres a couple of custom bolts in there that are mild steel - (i clean mine regularly with some strong acid...as for the tank... i kinda lift the front and go forward over the bars then you dont scag any of the cables on the rear....
Thanks matey great tips, going to drain the fuel and take a peek at the pump. Will certainly change the internal filter 👍👍
Admire your skills mate. My limit is cleaning and oiling the bike! 😂
Great video. Taking tanks off is always a pain. I love monster1100 evo. Something about that engine. Nearly bought one but, opted for a Cagiva raptor 650. Not quite as special but, super cheap and reliable.
Yeah it has bags of character that's the appeal I think. Doing this job is certainly making me fall in love with the bike. Well if it continues to be a pita I may soon hate it 😂
Thank you for the vid as ever. Keeping us inspired and entertained.
Just an observation on how different Italian factory’s put things together, 10 minutes to get the tank off , my aprilia tuono v4. “Where’ve I gone”😂
Well done Chopsy. I hope it’s a bit easier to put the fuel tank back on than it was to get off👍
Is there a link for the 22 liter tank? Thx
Thankfully they made it much easier to get the tank off the 821 Hyperstrada! Don't recall ever taking the tank off of my 796 Hypermotard - if I did, then it was less faff than this 1100. Great video though :-)
Yeah it was a real pain.. guess when you know what to do it would be way easier but even still.. 👍
Love the content. Keep up the good work.
Great video loving the channel looking forward to next one 🇬🇧👍🏻
Ducati it’s a love hate relationship, my Italian girlfriend ..1098 spend most of its time in bits ,but when everything’s working boy she’s hot ..
Damn lucky you could actually remove the quick disconnect fittings for the fuel pump! Mine are stuck solid meaning I have to also remove the fuel pump to get the tank off lol, just makes getting to the airfilters even more fun :)
Oh no nightmare, mine came off quite easy.. was worried about the rusty bolts but also came free 👍
No keep the tubes gold
