Hello!
As in the Subject line, a new member.
I'd been lurking for a few years, joined and got a password from Jim(thank you, by the way!) in 2013. However; Life got in the way, but I finally managed to officially log in.
Sadly, I don't have much knowledge to offer, but I am certain I will have some questions along the way.
Cheers!
Rhys

Hello. I'm in Japan. For Duke Singles, I have a Vento, AKA *The Endless Project*, a 250, and parts of a 200.

I think there are quite a few Ducati 450's in Japan, check out you tube, you may find some local contacts.
I am over there sometimes and always look out for special bikes.
Kind regards,
Alex

Thank you all for the welcome!
Duke Singles are coming back in vogue recently. The prices are unbelievable!
Alex; there are a few odd Dukes around. If you are in search of anything in particular, please let me know.
Craig, that is a very nice one you have there. Mine has been altered to the point of no return be pervious owners.
Cheers!

If rare bits are needed for your singles, there is an ebay seller in Japan who goes by the name of donpistone.
I recall his first name is Gerard and I believe he is originally from Italy. Here is an ebay ad for him that is current:
https://www.ebay.com/usr/donpistone?_tr ... 1543.l2754About 15 years ago I bought NOS headlight assembly and forks for a Silver Shotgun from him. He is a knowledgable,
good guy to know.

Eldert,
It must have been the Don Pistone that made me think Italy
