Hello,

I am new comer in this forum and in the Ducati's world too. I am French. I've just bought a Ducati 350 Scrambler to a Spanish guy, in Barcelone, 3 weeks ago. I've learnt many thinks thanks to your forums and Jon who knows very well the identification of Mototrans. The mine one is a Mototrans, engine and frame with the right numbers. A 1974 model. Here is a picture of my new acquisition, just before restoration, in this link :

Hello Rocia,

That's a good idea for making an accurate wooden shape, to help fix the bent mudguard.

Thanks!

Hello,

Thanks. the wooden shape is usefull but not sufficient in case of bent mudguard. You can see on my website an another tool: a reference curve (picture) in order to straighten the mudguard. The wooden shape an this curve, and everything is possible to renovate any mudguard before painting...

Hello,

I have almost achieved my Scrambler 350 restoration. You can have a glance here : http://strv.pagesperso-orange.fr/motode ... Ducati.htm at the bottom of the page.

As you can see, I've kept the genuine Mototrans deco except for the color (it was blue, I've chosen the ochre from the Ducati Scrambler catalog).

it works well but I have a problem of reduction radio : at 5000 t/mn, it seems I am around 95 km/h (59 Miles/h) and the reduction ratio is very short, more convenient for trial than for the road... I have a 15 teeth sprocket at the gear box exit, and a 57 teeth crown on the rear wheel !

Has somebody the same reduction ratio with his Ducati ? Can somebody tell me the exact speed at 1000 rpm in 5th speed with such ratio 15x57 or with any other ratio in order I recalculate to check if I am wrong or not ? I wouls like to make sure my calculation is OK before ordering a 16 teeth sprocket and a 40 teeth crown and I have neither speedometer nor rev control
