Re: Well you asked for another Ducati build
A nice part of the build is when you start to pull it all together. All that preparation of parts for months before all comes together quite quickly.

Re: Well you asked for another Ducati build
One of the things that was missing on the bike when I bought it was a gear lever. No problem I though… until I saw the price! so I decided to make one, and while I was on, make it slightly longer to suit my big feet. I took the one off my other bike as a pattern. I milled it out of a solid piece of alloy plate, and then hand filed it all to shape, and gave it a polish, I was quite pleased with the result!
Re: Well you asked for another Ducati build
What a crackin' job
It looks beefier that your pattern lever too
Did you have to heat it up to make the bends in it
Chris.

Re: Well you asked for another Ducati build
Cracking photo's again
A lovely feeling I'm sure to have it back on it's wheels
That exhaust system looks really neat tucked in there like that with the two short exit pipes staring you in the face
It would be good to hear what it sounds like later on
Chris.

Re: Well you asked for another Ducati build
Looks a bit cold
Re: Well you asked for another Ducati build
One of the things I wanted on this build was a clean looking rear end. I struggled to find a rear light that was suitable, so in the end I have fitted three 10mm superbrite LED’s as a rear light, and used a resister and diode so its bright and then brighter to act as a stop light.
Re: Well you asked for another Ducati build
I like what you have done there Tony
Will the mot tester like it as much
Chris.

Re: Well you asked for another Ducati build
It should be ok for the Mot, my concern is visibility from the sides. A standard reflector is visible from a wide angle, not just from the rear
It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.
