How do I attach photos so you guys can see the bike. I have a couple close ups of the rear end to maybe give you guys a better idea of how clean this bike is and why it's so difficult to forget about...  Grin

You have to host them at photobucket, flikr, or the like and link to them.

I got the links up to view the pics. I couldnt figure out the other way...  Undecided  Let me know if you can view them and what you think of the conversion and the bike from what you can see. Thanks!

Some help



Looks nice!  waytogo

One item of concern that is apparent to me is the exhaust.
You may not find it an issue now, but changing out the exhaust may prove somewhat of a challenge. Short of the QuatD there isn't much out there for your custom SSS monster that is an easy bolton.
Any other exhaust configuration may need some "tinkering."

Nah, I just can't see that well anymore. 
Sheer necessity.   Tongue


BTW, OP, I would be interested to see what the pivot site looks like on the frame. The part of the frame the shock bolts onto.

Wow thanks for putting them up. And ya, I figured I could make my own exhaust. I do a lot of fab work and was mainly concerned about the noise and compression loss I would have with the straight pipes. Yes I am wanting to see the fab work in person and the shock mount as well. I'm going to try to find time to drive and look at it this week.

Well... I bought it. I couldnt turn it down. Its a solid bike. But i did notice some things when i got it home and in my garage.  Cons: Leaks oil just a little when running, notice some oil that has been sitting on the motor as well, Rear sprocket is a little loose( everything else is tight but the sprocket wiggles back and forth), rear wheel was a hair loose and had some play between it and the axle(I tightened axle nut and it went away), Needs some electrical work to get all the custom blinkers and intigrated tail light to work perfect, and shes really cold blooded, hard starter when cold. Other than that stuff, which i think is not too big of a deal??, its a great first ducati in my opinion.
