Title: Thank you DMF! Here's a treat! Post by: 671M900 on November 25, 2010, 09:31:54 PM Well, it's 3 pm Friday over here, but I'd still like to thank the DMF for all the help with my bike, big and small questions.
I know it's not much, but this is where she started, and this is where the DMF helped me get it to: (If you can believe it, I picked her up in the back of a truck, and frame off the engine) (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v345/aaronferrer/REin1.jpg) Where she is as of today!

Awesome! Knowing how it began and seeing it up and running now must make you even more proud to ride it and look at it! [clap] [beer] Cool stuff. [moto] Title: Re: Thank you DMF! Here's a treat! Post by: Drunken Monkey on November 26, 2010, 10:02:35 AM Huzzah!

All that's left is the small details: buffing tank scratches, engine case paint, cleaning up brake rotors, etc. Thinking of relocating electronics to the rear to give it a real naked look.

Ah, the basket case. They can be so rewarding (when they turn out). Title: Re: Thank you DMF! Here's a treat! Post by: Hutch on November 29, 2010, 04:51:15 AM Nope. I have a set of my own though, haha! I really wish I didn't have my own set, or the side SAPIs for that matter haha. But she does look great. How long did it take you to get her from pic A to pic B?

How long did it take you to get her from pic A to pic B? Well, pic A was long before I picked it up, keep in mind, I had even the frame off the engine, haha! It took about 3 days to assemble the bike, 2-4 hours after work. The part that took the longest was the ignition wiring and waiting for little bits and pieces to come in the mail (master cylinder clamps, swingarm plates and adjusters, exhaust half bushes) but pretty much everything was there. Goodies: Cyclecat triple Cyclecat Clipons Keihin FCR41 Billet Gas Cap Progrip italian grips CF bar end mirrors (eBay special) CF front signals (Dennis Kirk) Ducati CF dry clutch cover (planning to open it up) Some sort of CF highmount exhaust (Goldline brakes, but not sure if those are stock on the 98 or 99 900's) Yoyodyne exhaust flanges Some sort of CF euro gauges (km/h) 39/14 gearing DID X ring gold chain Desmotimes case guard Cycleworks cam belts I had Cyclecat rearsets, but sold those infavor of the stockers, I like my passenger pegs. That and I'm fooked if I need to replace a peg or shifter. Title: Re: Thank you DMF! Here's a treat! Post by: monsta on November 29, 2010, 02:07:38 PM well done mate! [thumbsup]
