2 six packs will be enough considering that they have to be at least Bitburger, Sierra Nevada Glissade, or Guinness. Also any grunt work of adjusting rear spring tension will be the owner's labor although the proper tools will be provided. I make absolutely no guarantee that sag specs will be able to be brought into spec for the owner/rider using stock Ducati parts. The superbikes and Streetfighters have somewhat of a chance but as for the 750 I believe we might be able to adjust some rear sag, possibly some damping but little cheap hope for the front unless an adjustable front fork was installed. Different options can be discussed of course.

What, no Boddingtons on that list?
Yeah, the front forks are the stock non-adjustable units. Which, I'm sure after 17k miles are more than overdue for new oil...but at least the seals don't appear to be leaking. Just getting the rear set-up properly would be a big improvement, imho.

I'm not sure what they are from, but you can ask him. El Tristo has them.
And yes, the forks from an S?R will fit fine, so will the ones from a ST. Actually, what year is your 750? If it is one of the old old ones there might be an issue with caliper mounting points...

It's a 2000...single caliper/rotor up front.

Didn't we install those on his bike? Unless he had another set? Which come to think of it he might have. Wasn't there some issue with the two sets that led us to favor one over the other?
Plus, I have a stock rear shock from a Monster 900 that's still in good shape. It might be beefier than the stock 750. I dunno. I suppose we could always check part numbers between the two bikes to see if they use the same shock.

Yep, he had an extra set laying around. Trey was looking at buying them, but then decided to start spending all his money on flying lessons instead. Kids...

More something than anything else I suspect. Did you ever get your steering damper installed?

Nothing wrong with a good old fashioned something.
And I seem to recall someone giving Anne a bit of grief for not having installed said damper yet.

Well for goodness sake bring that thing down here and let's throw it on. BTW, I am super envious that you will be running the S1000RR around the track. So take notes, OK?

From somewhere around 10:30 am onward to about 1:30PM. Weather permitting. I was supposed to bring in a Hypermotard to get a safety check. It's raining right now on the windward side & there's been too much wine, beer, steaks and chicken and veggies and the stupid motard needs a battery charge cause it hasn't been seriously ridden in months. Don'cha know that I wait unitl midnight to fire the sucker up and it won't crank. My bike starts of course, and if all else fails, I'll bring it in. Got to find a charger for the HM in the AM before I get breakfast. If you'll knew how long it took to write this in decipherable english you would be still laughing. I will be there, no matter, so come on down.
