Finally got my hands on an eccentric steering head hub waytogo

And started to put up the M900 donor up for sale: http://www.ducatimonsterforum.org/index.php?topic=47978.0 She's going to help my finance my addiction laughingdp

I'll update that page as parts come off the bike, let me know if there's something you're interested in.

F. I know what that's like - I am about to put up a bunch of parts for sale that I don't "need" in order to do the same: Fund my addictions.

Cool project. I'd like to see you use one of the cheaper, less powerful engines. To me it seems more in keeping with the stated goals/philosophy of the project.

Really looking forward to seeing this one come together.

I already have a Monster 750, so the 900 engine is about as low as I'm willing to go. I had thought about the 800, but they're actually more expensive and harder to find. I've found 900s on fleaBay as low as 600 + shipping.

Hmm now that you mention it, I think you're totally right! You're so cool, you can have the wheels for free! Just pay shipping.

My paypal email is im_an_honest_guy@no_scam.ng $150 should cover shipping from Nigeria to anywhere in the world, be sure to send the money as a gift! cheeky

Been thinking about the 2v SBK problems with the frame braces and the TB issues...

how hard would it be to switch to a SBK TB setup on a 2v motor?

really hard?

the SBK's / 4v heads have the intake port in the middle.

the 2v heads have the offset intake ports - vertical is closer to "shift lever" side, horizontal is closer to "brake lever" side

These photos show the issues with the exhaust headers: from the Strickland SBK Hybrid over at www.duccutters.com/PaulStrickland.tpl

In this phase custom headers were made to adapt to the stock SBK exhaust (he later changed to megaphones).

I'd like to do something similar but with a S2r/S4r style exhaust, possibly without the udder. I would love an ExBox or even an open udder (nice and low and keeping the bike slender), but I hate noisy exhausts. Loud pipes don't save lives, they just annoy neighbors. boo

As for the Throttle Bodies here a quote form the Strickland Special:

"Making the throttle bodies fit: this was easier, but I have a couple of friends who are expert tig-welders. the symmetrical cross brace in the SBK frame has to be made asymmetrical (like the x-brace in a 749/999 frame if you've ever seen one and know the difference) this done using a dremel and some 3/8" mild steel tubing from home-depot, and my friend Doug's ace welding skillzzzz..."

What I'm curious about is what he did there:

Looks like he drilled (?!?) the stock top triple to bolt on stock monster risers. It leaves me wondering how reliable that can be...

What I'm wondering now is: will an '02+ complete monster triple fit a SBK frame? I know that offset and forks are different, but the bearings are the same so it should be only a height issue... Huh?

Does anyone know for sure? 'Cause it sure feels like a better solution than drilling the top triple! Undecided

I own that Strickland bike (most of it) now if you have any specific questions or pic requests, I don't have the triple he was running in that pic though.

I wouldn't worry about drilling a SBK triple for risers. as long as you dont drill supporting pieces it should hold up just fine.

well I guess what I meant was use the TB but change the intake plenum below that. a little CNC work to get the TB and intake ports to line up with custom plenums that take care of the difference.
