I think it's been hard for you to source because they sold a lot of bikes w/o them.

Iconic Auctions in the US just sold an SB6R. No right side heel plate. Looking back at the 6 SB6/SB6Rs they've ...

I wanted to take a quick spin yesterday. Pro tip: don't be thinking about the ride when you should be thinking about the work you're doing. I had been running it with an external fuel tank and forgot ...

Mostly buttoned back up. It's a little challenging to set the cables up with the FCRs so that they don't drag. Coincidentally, a friend had just bought a set for a very early Monster and we spent a ...

Hi Mike,

This is a great post. Nice info regarding the headlight. I’m in the process of looking for a headlight for my 2nd DB4 that I bought a few years ago with a lot of parts missing.

Phew. That was a PITA. Now at present day. Put about 650 miles on the db4 this season, just banging about. Never got the carbs right. Always felt like I had a lean condition on tip-in. Assumed I ...

Raised EMR needles to 2nd slot from bottom. Opened slow fuel to 1.5 turns out. Still with the stumbles/backfires as I gradually rolled on.

Turned the slow speed needle in all the way to 1/4 turn (f ...

Double-sided chain slider from Bimota Classic Parts installed. I'm surprised that I can get bits like this.
