Ducati Bevel Twins 1971 to 1986: Authenticity & restoration guide

Production of Ducati Bevel Twins spanned 15 years, and nowadays a restored bike with original parts will be worth about double the value of one with the wrong parts/detailing. There have been so many variations over the years that most people have no idea what is correct for a particular model. A would-be buyer's first  question is always "how authentic is the bike?", not whether it is beautifully restored. So Ducati Bevel Twins 1971 to 1986 is a comprehensive guide to authenticity. The content includes color codes, stripe widths, decal placement, etc. The practical chapters are by necessity broad. For instance, there were five fork types, more than five shock absorber types (many which cannot be rebuilt), more than five brake types and ten different frame types. These practical chapters cover little tricks in assembly and offer general advice rather than a detailed workshop manual-type description.
