1980 Ducati SSD900 Darmah

This is a 1980 Ducati bevel drive SSD 900 "Super Sport Desmo Darmah".

This bike has been well cared for buy it's previous owners and we have records to that effect that will move along with the bike to it's new owner. Bodywork has been repainted, new windscreen & seat cover, cables, wheel bearings, chain & sprockets replaced, carbs rebuilt, WORKS shocks & fork spring kit w/fork rebuild, Bevel Heaven hydraulic clutch conversion kit installed, brakes rebuilt, Tommaselli DAYTONA throttle, Tommaselli starter/RUN/OFF switch, Malossi spun alloy velocity stacks etc etc etc. Oh, somewhere along the line the PHM 40s were changed to the standard PHF32CD/CS carbs for Darmah along with required cables and intake manifolds along with BUB mufflers. A few years ago I changed the pickup wires with my FEP harness kit as well. It presents itself very well as you can see in these photos.

There are only 18,689 miles on this well preserved Ducati. It starts right up and runs well, pulls hard. Hi/Low beams, running & brake lights along with the horn works and the brakes stop it. This bike is in great shape & ready to find a new home.

Details:

This motorcycle was brought to Bevel Heaven a couple weeks ago to be re-commissioned & made ready to sell. Work accomplished by Bevel Heaven include; de-rust inside of gas tank with METAL RESCUE, install new fuel taps, Cavis Benz fuel hose & clamps, clean & adjust Dellorto carbs & synchronize. Replace labyrinth breather gasket & crush washer at the base of the breather tower, install new AGM battery, also replaced side cover grommets. We did a general cleanup and sorted/organized wires/cables to tidy things up a bit as well.

Carbs are dialed in and fully synchronized so it starts at the 1st stab of the starter button and idles/runs well. Brakes, lights, & horn works etc. There are no turn signals in the front so we couldn't test. This was a re-commission project, not a restoration ie we wanted to make sure it ran and things worked as expected for the new owner. There will be other things that will/might need attention ie; R&R both tires & tubes etc... That said, the bike is now road worthy and I went out on a brief ride to go through the gears, test brakes etc. The bike is currently registered non-op & titled in the owner's name here in California so there will be zero surprises by the new owner while doing a title transfer & registering. For international buyers, it is ready for export without a hiccup with it's current documentation.

The Ugly:

Tires and tubes have 2015 manuf date codes & sidewalls are cracked so these need to be replaced before riding. New seat lock was installed at some point but needs the locking arm shortened a bit so that it locks the seat down. Non original front fender. No key for the steering lock.
