Bros, given that you like vee twins. Or the NVT, which uses the same engine?
It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.
Re: Well you asked for another Ducati build
I think Tony.Mon could be on the money here with the Vee twin theme, but I will go for the XR650? seeing as they haven't been suggested yet

Re: Well you asked for another Ducati build
That's going to be an interesting build. I look forward to following it once you have finished your home upgrades that is if you bought the bike of course 
Chris.
Re: Well you asked for another Ducati build
yep, its been purchased and is due to be delivered on Tuesday
Re: Well you asked for another Ducati build
Ah, one of those.
Motorcycle News in the UK said:
"The Honda SLR650 is a fairly joyless machine that barely redeems itself as a reasonably efficient commuter. Essentially it’s a more heavily road-biased Dominator built at Honda’s plant in Spain, back in the days when the Continental factory’s quality control occasionally went adios. A Honda CB500 is simply miles better".
They did say it had a good turning circle, so it's not all bad!
As you can work wonders with all things mechanical, I expect to see a miraculous transformation in a little while. Enjoy the journey

Ah you bought it
It looks good in the photo.
I can see this build to be really interesting.
No doubt you have some ideas in mind for this bike already

Re: Well you asked for another Ducati build
Il grab a coffee and watch this one.. i never had one of those tho i did own a domie which had 80k on it when i sold it, ten years later i bumped into it and it was still going and the engine hadnt been opened other than clutch plates
the other cousin of it i had was the fmx version, the supermoto version but it was lame compared to the dom, strange as they use the same motor

Re: Well you asked for another Ducati build

the tank is new and of a Honda CG 125, and fits well, just a bit of adjustment needed. it's nice quality, can with a locking cap and a petrol tap... £38 delivered! how do they do it!

Re: Well you asked for another Ducati build

Yes, how do they do a petrol tank and fittings at that price indeed
