[Zooks]

Just the fact it's a Duc gives me a woody! :)

[kev@vcm]

we have to create one set of clamps out of two as the forks have grown from 50mm to 56mm...
did i mention i love my job

[Gitzy]

We demand mooooar... moooooar I say..

[rock hard]

to quote from the demolition man "Enhance your calm john spartan or Gitzy" im about a third of the way with this build.i cant take any credit for the welding so ive taken it to Lee who is most awesome. the hyper forks are away at dynotime as russ does all the drag bike forks by putting a travel limiter inside the cartridge to lower the ride height 70mm.i spoke to Ben about the triple clamps but i can get the work here at protwin which is alot easier than always having stuff flying across the country if we have to make any small adjustments or changes which happens with one off stuff.it should be done in three weeks so thats when your next installment..see ya

[Gitzy]

then 3 weeks we shall wait.. :D

Mr Cantarella, you are fined one-half credit for a sotto voce violation of the Verbal Morality Statute.

[hyofighter]

Lookin good moz , top work as usual

[Gitzy]

Heya Moz.. top work I love this thing.. I was just wondering you being around bike services and such what are these 900/750 SS Ducatis like.. engine wise.. are they reliable, easy to work on etc etc..

[rock hard]

The simple answer Gitzy is IF you get a clean low mileage one they are pretty good.my preference is the 91-97 carb model.just need a pair of flatslides and they are fun,not fast but fun.they are fairly simple and as long as you set them up properly and service it regularly they are o.k.i absolutly love my monster but it will never win a drag race but it rarely wears out a front tyre.
.and make friends with Ron Young up in the hunter valley he is an awesome ducati mechanic.

http://i488.photobucket.com/albums/rr249/rockhard_photos/melsoff8aug10001.jpg

you could start with a 600ss and fit a 900 motor my monster started life as a 600 monster dark its now 944..be REALLY nice to Kelly she will probably let you!;)[}:)][:I]

[hypo ss]

lookin good moz like that gard, dash lookin shit hot hole thing lookin shit hot like ya work! rearsets and sproks should be there next week i hope, is well worth the wait.gitzy go the 1100 you will love it!

[Gitzy]

Hmmm... food for thought there Moz.. Kelly said yes to a nice yellow and black XJR1300SP this morning but I'm not sure I want 2 x 4 cylinder Yammies.. I'm thinking maybe twin next.. oh the decisions..

[rock hard]

just get someone to have a fucking good look at it,cause if you get a dud it WILL make you cry! Generally you cant kill a jap bike..just look at what the stunt boys do to them..italian stuff is like me. highly strung!

[LKC73]

Wow that huge, Im sure it will allow the engine to spin up a bit faster with that now.

[rock hard]

the flywheels are great and all the usual gears and pinions are already drilled and lightened on the motard engine.it used to only be vee2 performance stuff..i do like the 2valve engines they dont make big horsepower but they are very usable and stay together better than the 4valves..

[rock hard]

After all this time got to ride steves bike Today.feels good steers quicker than before.the rising rate rear suspention is a vast improvement..so wednesday its off to the Patterson boys at Bunbury Dyno
for a remap to suit the pipe/airfilter combo and also to reflash the ecu
turns it to race mode gets rid of the exhaust valve and dial your own startup on the dash display should be interesting the results horsepower wise..iv'e tried to make this bike look like it came out of the factory..pity they never built them like this to start with

[hypo ss]

like the look of that can see another project coming on moz

[rock hard]

Well just got the bike back from patto at BUNBURY DYNO..the bike is running sweet and is making 95 rear wheel horse power which is 22 more than it originaly made as a 900..just a few little finishing touches and around 10k of testing(just kidding steve) and its off to its very patient happy owner..

[hypo ss]

yay! bring it on might need some training wheels

[rock hard]

Well its finaly finished! and i must say after all the Delays and shit..im very proud ...
