Seller Description

1966? DUCATI MONZA FRAMED 350 NARROW CASE MACH 1 DIANA CLONE.I STARTED COLLECTING BITS FOR THIS PROJECT 10 YEARS AGO WITH THE INTENTION TO BUILD A FAST FUN LITTLE ROAD BURNER 350 ON A MONZA FRAME. THIS IS THE IDENTICAL FRAME AND FORK AS USED ON THE MACH 1 AND DIANA MK3 250.FRAME STILL RETAINS FACTORY FOIL HEADSTOCK TAG.FRONT FORK HAS ORIGINAL SMOOTH TOP TRIPLE CLAMP AND ORIGINAL DUCATI CLIP ONS IN NEED OF RE CHROMING. THE LEFT CLIP ON IS TIGHT BUT IS SLIPPING AND WOULD REQUIRE A SHIM TO PROPERLY CINCH IT DOWN. LEVERS ARE RARE SMALL TIP AND GRIPS ARE EARLY STYLE REPRODUCTIONS. ALSO INCLUDES CHOKE LEVER AND APRILIA HORN /HI LOW SWITCHTHROTTLE IS TOMMASELLIREAR SHOCKS ARE VERY RARE NOS KONIS IN PERFECT CONDITION.THE MOTOR CAME OUT OF A VERY FAST 350 SCRAMBLER WITH A HI COMPRESSION PISTON. IT HAS VERY GOOD COMPRESSION AND A FOUR SPEED GEARSET.COMES WITH A DELLORTO SS 29 MM CARB WHICH IS IN EXCELLENT SHAPE BUT MISSING THE CABLE STOP ON TOP AND THE CHOKE SLIDE AND TOP BOTH ARE AVAILABLE NEW FROM SEVERAL SOURCES. THE CASTLE NUT AND SLIDE ARE PERFECT AND IT IS NOT AT ALL MUNGED UP.

TANK WAS PURCHASED FROM A FRIEND IN ITALY WHO BOUGHT IT NEW AND HAD IT CHROMED SO IT IS JUST PERFECT WITHOUT DINGS OR DENTS BUT CHROME WAS DIRECTLY ON STEEL WITHOUT COPPER OR NICKLE AND HAS PEALED ON ONE SIDE WITH SOME LIGHT TARNISH. CAP IS NOS AND PETCOCKS ARE ORIGINAL AND WILL LIKELY NEED NEW RUBBERS.SADDLE IS NEW REPRODUCTION MACH ONE FROM ITALYHEADLIGHT IS MACH ONE/MONZA 150 MM APRILIA WITH NEW BEZEL BUT MISSING REFLECTOR BULB AND LENS.VEGLIA 150 SPEEDOMETER AND EARLY FACTORY ORIGINAL VEGLIA TACHOMETER WITH ORIGINAL STEEL MOUNT COMPLETE WITH CABLE AND DUCATI TACHOMETER DRIVE.FRONT FENDER IS MACH ONE/DIANAREAR FENDER IS EARLY MONZA WITH VALANCE WHICH CAN BE EASILY REMOVED LEAVING THE NARROW MACH ONE/DIANA FENDER ONLY REQUIRING A LOOP STRAP BE MADE UP FOR THE TOP MOUNT.TAIL LIGHT ASSEMBLY IS STANDARD MACH ONE DIANA MONZA ALLOY .WHEEL SET IS STOCK RAEDELLI WITH GRIMACA HUBS. I DO HAVE BORRANI RIMS I PLANED TO LACE UP BUT THEY ARE NOT INCLUDED. I WOULD SELL THE PAIR IF BUYER WANTED THEM.TIRES AND TUBES ARE BRAND NEW DUROEXHAUST HEADER AND GLAND NUT ARE NEW REPRODUCTION AND MUFFLER IS DUCATI MEGAPHONE REPRODUCTION FROM GERMANY.THERE IS NO WIRING LOOM EXCEPT FOR WHATS IN THE HEADLIGHT AS IT WAS MY PLAN TO INSTALL THE EXCELLENT POWER DYNAMO MAGNETO SYSTEM FROM GERMANY WHICH RUNS OFF THE CRANK END AND ELIMINATES THE COIL AND BATTERY AND THE WIRING LOOM AND REGULATOR. IT ALSO ELIMINATES THE POINTS SO THE HEAVY POINTS DRIVE CAN BE COMPLETELY REMOVED FROM THE MOTOR. I LOVE THIS EASY TO INSTALL SYSTEM BUT IT IS NOT INCLUDED.THIS IS AN EASY PROJECT AND RESULTING BIKE WILL BE A VERY FAST FUN MACHINE. I HAVE AN ORIGINAL DIANA 250 WITH VERY FEW MILES AND IN OVER 50 YEARS OF RIDING JUST ABOUT EVERY SMALL BORE ITALIAN BIKE MADE IT IS MY FAVORITE. I DECIDED TO BUILD A CLONE AS FAST OR FASTER SO AS NOT TO PUT MILEAGE ON MY DIANA.JUST THE PARTS ALONE SOLD SEPARATELY WOULD COST OVER 6KMISSING CHAIN, HORN, COIL, WIRE LOOM, REAR BRAKE CABLE CHOKE CABLE, ONE OF THE POINTS COVER POSTS AND AFOREMENTIONED BITSI AM SELLING OFF MY BIKES AND PROJECTS AS I HAVE RETIRED AND CLOSED MY SHOP IN NY AND MOVED SOUTH.
