1967 Ducati 350 Sebring

I purchased this Late 60's Ducati 350 in 2012 from Newberry Springs, CA.  A desert find, this beauty was completely rusted out from the son of the second owner of the bike. From my time in California, I had some access to excellent products and parts and began the restoration immediately. My design idea was to make small and tasteful modifications from the original to make it very rideable and look a bit more like a traditional cafe restoration.  

I had excellent mechanics work on the bike as I did the rebuild. I had Motorcycle Dynamics Racing (Escondido, CA) put a new stem and front end in the bike. The original forks were completely shot and I sought a new stance anyway. I used an 80's Kawasaki donor for this transfer upon MDR's recommendation. I had David Harris at Zen House (Point Arena, CA) do the whole engine rebuild. The complete bottom end guts needed replacement and the top end was completely rebuilt. At this time I moved away from CA and found it really difficult to find mechanics willing to work on the bike alongside me. I did the CDI and 12V upgrade to the bike which helped reliability. It wasn't until about 10 years later that I found another mechanic, Blue Cat Motorcycle (St. Paul, MN) where I finished the electrical and carb upgrade, which is a brand new Amal. 

Last I ran the bike was two years ago, but I have regularly checked fluids and completed basic maintenance.  The mechanic at Blue Cat said the bike ran fantastic. So much so, that he asked to purchase the bike. The tank is original and red coated inside, but dented on one side. 

At this point I have about $10k into the restoration. I am a hobby classic car mechanic and this project was too much for me to begin with. I am glad I saved the bike from the dump - but now four kids and 15 years later, I am skeptical I will ever find the time to finish the project and do it justice.  

I am asking $5,000.
