Well you asked for another Ducati build

[Dickiebig]

Love your youtube, bike sounds proper.

Run out of a few wire connectors so moved onto the cam belt covers till they come… I made some of these a few years ago and they worked well… but this time I have made the holes oval and I think they look better. used a hole saw to cut the circles, and a saw in the dremel to cut the straight bits. just got to carbon dip them now and make the polycarbonate windows…

Also mounted the plate that holds the hall sensors

They look great

If it were me I'd feel happier that those belts will now have some protection from flying stones

for some parts of the loom I have used this braided sheathing... its a bit fiddly to do but the results are good. I notice a lot of cars use this now on the loom.

Another job I have been meaning to get around to... The FCR carbs need a one into two cable setup. I was going to use a junction box off an old British bike, but all the ones I could see were either too short on the pull distance, or terrible quality, so I decided to make one. I was going to make it out of aluminum but had difficulty getting nice threads, probably due to the grade of alloy bar I had. so brass it is. It also allowed me to put longer holes to retain the cables, all the ones I looked at only had short holes.

Lovely work again

Thanks for taking the time to share

Top quality work

Top quality work

Thanks for all the good comments guys...

here is the plate to hold the ignition switch. It didn't look right just flat, so I made a small press tool to add a raised ring where the switch goes.

Finished the wiring apart from the horn as it didn't seem to like being bead blasted!

It's the fine details that make all the difference
I like it,

Like the flexi cover rather than tape over the loom

I like this hydrographics, I may do my helmet soon, there are some nice films out there! here is a link to a 2 min video of how its done in the back garden with an Ikea box! if you don't like fake carbon... don't click the link!

Done a few jobs in preparation for the start… put the jets in the carbs, started with what I think will be rich to be on the safe side… made a stay for the oil cooler, and made the ignition leads. I have had that crimp tool since I was 20… so its 45 years old! it does make nice crimps on the leads though. I have used copper core leads, and resistor plugs to keep the neighbours happy! *The hydro dipping came out quite good...

Thank you for the video on Hydro Dipping at home, you make it look all too easy
You have had some good results there

Chris.

Try as I might I just couldn’t get the fuel pipes to run correctly with a standard flat “T” piece… the bends in the pipe were too tight. so I ended up making a custom one out of brass… took a few hours…
