~ 1982 Ducati NCR 600SL Pantah ~
Hi Steve,
I hope you can include my brothers 1982 Ducati NCR 600SL Pantah.
The bike is on a Special lightweigt frame (Aluframe). Apparently there
are only 7 of them in Australia I know of 2 existing bike . One full
on Blue race bike and my brother Gary's which is actually road
registered . Gowanloch have 1 fram similar to this which is
still not built. The bike seems to be original NCR production due to
the following characteristic.
Frame is of very light Aluframe.
Body is of one piece construction
fiberglass
Front suspension if Marrzochi (?) with
adjustable knobs below
Rear suspension is single shock
absorber
Tank filler cap is race style with
automatic closing cap from the inside but which can be
locked by a big screwdriver.
Lockwire all over the place including
the small sprocket in the engine.
Carbys are 40mm pumpers
Exhaust is Staintune with full
stainless 2 into 1
Engine seems to have been worked
according to Gowanlochs, (hardened components)
Special passenger seat .
All rearset are special made aluminium
fabrications
Paint and decals are all NCR proper
One detail that is very interesting is
that the inner fiberglass surrounds with rubber attachment in the rear
shock contains NCR l logo embosed on the actual carbon fiber.
I am really curious about the history of
this particular bike . Do you know of some background to who actually
made those frame, where they can be contacted and who raced those
particular bike in their days. I have seen other bodywork like this
but they are not as authentic looking as this one specially the rear
seat which allows for double shock well on the replica production.
I hope you can maybe advertise on
your NCR page who might know some background to this bike.
Regards
Eddie
