Tony Hannagan of Bevel Tech wanted an everyday ride but it needed to be consistent with his bevel passion so no Pantah or Superquadro based nonsense!
The solution was to create his version of a “modern” 860GT. The challenge was to use as many parts that he had on hand. While the frame is a standard 1975 item the swingarm is a new chrome moly unit that pivots on needle roller bearings and built to house 851 rims fitted with modern rubber. A modified Brembo disc is used in place of a drum.
The Brembo front callipers are from a 916. The front forks were originally fitted to a MH900e and their shorter length both reduces the wheelbase and quickens the steering. Öhlins shocks are used at the rear. A rebuilt but standard spec 900SS motor provides the power.
As usual this beauty was brought to us by famed Ducati photographer Phil Aynsley. Phil has many more photos of this stunning modern 860GT over on his site.
