Title: Newest Mod, just have to brag Post by: Drunken Monkey on September 19, 2008, 12:20:34 PM For a long time I've wanted this sort of set-up, but only recently was I able to find a machinist skilled enough to put a hole into the headlight I wanted
(http://photos-g.ak.facebook.com/photos-ak-sf2p/v330/242/25/747898682/n747898682_962574_9726.jpg)(http://photos-g.ak.facebook.com/photos-ak-sf2p/v330/242/25/747898682/n747898682_962558_4731.jpg) It's a Headwinds headlight (normally for coughHarleyscough) and a Motogadget Classic. Photos to follow once I have this, the clip-ons and the Sport Classic triple mounted. Title: Re: Newest Mod, just have to brag Post by: supertjeduc on September 19, 2008, 12:48:56 PM Wow [thumbsup]

Can't wait to see the finished product. And I think its okay to use *cough*cruiser*cough* parts if the end product is well-done and original. [thumbsup] I've got a pair of turn signals from a Victory Vegas in mind to clean up the back end of my Sport 1K.

Doesn't the Vegas use the same stock signals as most Ducs? Trying to recall the last time I was in the Victory shop. Very nice indeed. Cruiser shit on a sportbike is great. Does the lighting assy still fit inside ok? How deep is that tach.

Trying to recall the last time I was in the Victory shop. For the stock turn signals, yes. ;) I've already said too much...

Title: Re: Newest Mod, just have to brag Post by: Drunken Monkey on September 19, 2008, 01:44:45 PM Does the lighting assy still fit inside ok? How deep is that tach. The tach is a stepper motor tach, so it's only about one inch deep. And the headlight is about 6 inches long, so there's no issue fitting the headlight in there. And the bike already has some other cruiser parts "repurposed" to work in ways they were never intended... Full dresser turn signals as a dual tailight, bullet turn signals. Unfortunately all the pics are up on TOB :( Title: Re: Newest Mod, just have to brag Post by: Fresh Pants on September 19, 2008, 01:57:56 PM Sexcellent. [thumbsup]

Title: Re: Newest Mod, just have to brag Post by: mojo on September 19, 2008, 06:23:47 PM It's cool to see people with the vision to put parts on something other than what it was designed for. Can't wait for pics. [popcorn]
Title: Re: Newest Mod, just have to brag Post by: Duck-Stew on September 20, 2008, 07:37:36 AM That's it. I *officially* hate you now.
Ok, nicely done DM... ya bastid. Title: Re: Newest Mod, just have to brag Post by: Drunken Monkey on September 20, 2008, 09:11:58 AM That's it. I *officially* hate you now. Well, I still may need your help wiring up the MotoGadget :-\ Title: Re: Newest Mod, just have to brag Post by: Duck-Stew on September 20, 2008, 03:09:11 PM Well, I still may need your help wiring up the MotoGadget :-\ People I hate have a *special* labor rate. Muwhahahaha!!!!!! [evil] Title: Re: Newest Mod, just have to brag Post by: teddy037.2 on September 20, 2008, 07:16:13 PM People I hate have a *special* labor rate. Muwhahahaha!!!!!!

Title: Re: Newest Mod, just have to brag Post by: Drunken Monkey on October 08, 2008, 11:08:57 AM Well, it's wired in and working!
Mods also included a sport classic top triple (bored for SBK forks and with a steering tube spacer) and a set of Thomaselli clip-ons (http://photos-g.ak.facebook.com/photos-ak-sf2p/v355/242/25/747898682/n747898682_1020094_9473.jpg) (http://photos-a.ak.facebook.com/photos-ak-sf2p/v355/242/25/747898682/n747898682_1020088_7724.jpg) (http://photos-h.ak.facebook.com/photos-ak-sf2p/v355/242/25/747898682/n747898682_1020095_4229.jpg) Now I just have to... Tap the rear brake mount for the speedo sensor. Hook up the Oil temp sensor. Wire in the turn signal indicator (diodes needed) And since I had to cut off the key mount so the new triple would fit (I mounted the key down on the lower right side of the frame) now I have to figure out how to keep the gas tank on ;D Title: Re: Newest Mod, just have to brag Post by: Drunken Monkey on October 08, 2008, 11:11:30 AM Oh yeah, and re route the wiring & cables. It's pretty messy at the moment
Title: Re: Newest Mod, just have to brag Post by: Spidey on October 08, 2008, 11:14:34 AM Suuuhwwweeeet! [thumbsup] You got a cockpit shot? And no, that's a not a request for dirty pics. Hmmm . . . . on second thought, mebbe it is. [evil]).
When you get the oil temp sensor working, gimme a holler. I still can't get mine to operate properly.

Alternatively, you should take a look at what Stu did with mine. There's a bolt underneath the tank that keeps it attached. Title: Re: Newest Mod, just have to brag Post by: m9hundo on October 08, 2008, 11:19:14 AM very nice sir [thumbsup]
Title: Re: Newest Mod, just have to brag Post by: Buckethead on October 08, 2008, 11:26:57 AM You've seriously cleaned up the front end quite a bit. The whole thing looks great! [thumbsup]
Side note: That first picture kinda reminds me of the ebay auction where the guy was selling a teapot.

I went ahead and ordered a new one from MotoGadget just to make sure it'd read correctly... Side note: That first picture kinda reminds me of the ebay auction where the guy was selling a teapot. Thanks for the reminder [puke] Title: Re: Newest Mod, just have to brag Post by: He Man on October 08, 2008, 11:30:43 AM SHINY!!!! oOOOOOoo! i like. [thumbsup]

I went ahead and ordered a new one from MotoGadget just to make sure it'd read correctly... I'm using a stock one. I didn't realize the Motogadget had their own (I'm gonna look into that). The problem is trying to program the gauge for min/max temps for the sensor. I can't get the gauge to go down as low as the min or up as high as the max. I'd have to show it to you to explain. It only goes up in increments of 2 and then only certain combinations of numbers work for the tens and hundreds digits. I haven't sat down with it for an afternoon and really figured it out. If I give you beer, will you show me how you did it? (No, that's not meant to be dirty either). BTW, motogadget, tomasellis, stock but modded Ducati triple, and modded key/tank placement? Sounds like a winning combo. [laugh] Title: Re: Newest Mod, just have to brag Post by: Fresh Pants on October 08, 2008, 12:46:49 PM There's something shiny in the valley, let's check it out.
Nice work. [thumbsup] Title: Re: Newest Mod, just have to brag Post by: Drunken Monkey on October 08, 2008, 01:56:37 PM If I give you beer, will you show me how you did it?
