Winter is almost over!

[Buckethead]

Some parts are here, some I'm still waiting on.

Have:
Forks
wheels
master cylinders
clipons
taillights
frame sliders

Waiting on:
BoomTubes
brake rotors
brake calipers
gauges
paint
clutch cover

Waiting on the BoomTubes to show up before I start the rest of it. They should be here in a couple of weeks.

Target completion date is the 23rd of April. Hoping to have it all done 1 year after I bought it.

Removed airbox, added pods, cleaned up wiring, new clutch slave and reservoir, screen stabilizer, replaced belts, checked valves, removed idle stepper motor, relocated coolant overflow tank, hmmm  it seems like I did some other stuff.  I just finished the reservoirs a few days ago.

[He Man]

removed idle stepper? why? did you add in a fast idle lever?

[Bill in OKC]

Ha Ha.  Yes, I did.  I knew there was some other stuff I'd done.  I don't really need it (the 996 idle button).  The bike starts right up and idles fine without the stepper or the fast idle button.  I didn't even have to adjust the factory idle stops - just balanced the TBs, backed out the idle bypass screws 2.5 turns and leaned out the mixture some.  No check engine light either - at least with the dp ecu.  I wanted a cleaner look through the cylinders so the stepper motor and most of the bracket had to go - along with the airbox and coolant tank.

I've been a bit of a slacker this winter
Monster:
1. install front ABM wave rotors - done
2. install carbon rear brake support - not started yet
3. finish Thruxton fairing install - 1/2 done
4. trouble-shoot why the damn thing doesn't always start when it's supposted to - ongoing

ST3:
1. front peg lowering plates - done
2. Oxford heated grips - done
3. Sargent sport skinz seat cover conversion - not started yet

Work has a way of interfering with mod season.

As promised.





I know I am a horrible photographer but you get the idea.

The never-ending hardtail project is slowly but surely coming together. 

But I digress, as it's not a Duck.....

Here is the area where I removed a lot of stuff.  I posted the full pic in the 'official bikes of the DMF' thread.

Sun was shining today and most of the roads were clean so I took my Duc for a ride after a long break. No mods for now, first winter, but happy to ride it stock today

Boy that last pic looks risky lol.  One good gust of wind and your in the slushy crap.

These were the first 500 meters to get on the highway, I was riding real slow there, but looks nice though
