Good morning everyone.
Since I decided to respray my bike, I need to print the "DUCATI", "DESMO" and "907 IE" stickers. Does anybody have them in electronic form so I can have them printed at a print shop?
Thank you.

I have the 907ie and Ducati in EPS format if they are any good to you, haven't got Desmo though.

Didn't have time to do much since the last post but last week has been quite busy.
I removed as much stuff as I could and took the bike for professional cleaning. 24 years of dust and oil was gone. It needed some more manual work afterwards but the result is quite rewarding.
The frame section under the battery was corroded by battery fluid spillage so the plastic cover that holds the battery and goes all the way to the rear end was removed for gaining better access to the area.
This was a good opportunity to respray various black parts such as the corroded part of the frame, the rear grab bar, the brake calipers, upper fork plate, side and main stands etc
The front sub frame was damaged and was replaced by a good straight one from a 906 after cutting the voltage regulator plate mounts from the 907 sub frame and welding them to the 906 one. The result is quite satisfactory with the 906 sub frame looking exactly like an original 907.
The wiring harness had some really bad job done in the past on its plugs and connections so I repaired and secured everything. Also the thick wires from the battery to the starter relay and from this relay to the starter have been replaced by new and better ones.
All vibration dampers of the ECU and alternator mounting plate have also been replaced by new.
The coolant bottle has been replaced by a good used one and the coolant hose modification will come next, soon as I find a CBR filler neck.
New steel braided brake hoses have also been fitted all around.
Plastic parts are now ready for getting their new coat of paint.
After a failed attempt of having the decals made by a local shop, I managed to find original Ducati ones through the Italian ebay so problem solved.

Nice job on the cleaning.
The clutch plates can have a nasty habit of rusting together. This can actually happen quite quickly - I have a friend who washed his Duc Streetfighter after a Sunday ride, and then put the bike away still wet. When he got the bike out the following Sunday, the plates had rusted together (he has an open cover). The remedy was to take the cover off and give them a good bash, although yours are probably a lot more rusted together. If I were you I'd get one of those car aerial type things with a magnet on the end (a magnet small enough to go into the clutch plate pack) and pull the plates out one by one, separating any rusted together plates as you come across them. Lie them all face down on the floor as you take them out, so you can put them back in exactly as they were.
Two ways to fix the dented exhaust. 1. Find a way to block both ends and inflate to around 80psi and then take a blowtorch to the dented area, starting at the outside of the dent and work your way to the centre. 2. Find a way to block both ends and fill with water. Place in a chest freezer and check every hour (you don't want to leave it in there long enough to pop any welds).

Clutch plates are already rusted together since before I got the bike so taking them apart is inevitable.
Thank you for the excellent ideas for repairing the dented exhaust!
I was planning to remove them anyway and spray paint them with satin black high temp paint.
Does it worth doing the clutch mods I have read here in the forum and elsewhere?
