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)

Where she is as of today!

Yes, she runs, haha! 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.
By the way, "over here" is Guam, haha.
Awesome job! [thumbsup]
She looks amazing man. Congrats. Now did the SAPI plates come with the bike also haha?

Ah, the basket case. They can be so rewarding (when they turn out).

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?

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.
well done mate! [thumbsup]

You saved a Monster :)
