Rebuilding the track bike.

Thought I'd put up some pics of the process.

I was in the middle of an engine swap and TJR178 got me to go in on some powder coating.

So I caved and did it.

I had 3/4 of the bike apart anyway so I pulled the rest of it apart and sent everything out for color.

I got everything back today and got started.

My garage looks like a Ducati bomb went off in it. I hope to have it running by Sunday.






more pics to come.

A piston...

I quit worrying about the price once I saw the orange.

Okay, now you need to paint your KTM Ducati red.

It'll satisfy my sense of proportion.

That would be wrong of me to do that to a KTM

I think if we're talking color changes we should be in ACC&Mods
