[Ducati] 900SS - Wits End

[Bruce Bellm]

Only in  the very marginal sense of lighter weight. But, the combination of 
all those changes to the bike gave it an estimated 85-90 hp at the rear 
wheel. That estimate was given to me by Bruce Myers at BCM. That was just 
his seat of the pants guess based on his experience with previous modified 
SS's. It was never dynoed. As I recall, there was a significant increase in 
performance gained by putting the carbs on the short stacks.
