Thanks.  They were hard-anozided by Ducati Omaha.  I sent them the forks, and they did the rest.

Pompetta, your bike looks awesome. Nice to see the swingarm in another color besides silver or black. We're your fork bottoms anodized too? Also, what sprocket carrier setup do you have?

Yeah, the bottoms were anodized at the same time as the fork tubes.  The carrier is OEM powdercoated black.  The sprocket is a Stealth Trimetal (steel teeth and aluminium center).  Red sprocket nuts from ProBolt.

   It's a bronzish/champagne custom mixed by the previous owner. I believe he said it's got 8 or 9 different colors in it. Could be more, i'd have to ask him again to be sure.
The after pic looks a lot lighter because of the intense sunlight.

Howley, that is one bad motha shut yo mouth!  Big bore kit?.....looks like the ohlins w/ reservoir just barely fits, any issues?

Mean!!!
M-ROCin' it!!!

Howley

Haha nah mate, no big bore, not even an ohlins shock. You might be seeing the crankcase breather filter which sticks out of the left side of the frame.

BastrdHK

Ahh...that would be bad ass if the Ohlins would work there.  I forgot the hoop suspension would make that difficult.

Aren't those after market oil lines going into the heads?  Thats why I thought you had some work done to the motor.

Clean ride regardless 8)

The oil lines into the heads are stock on the old 900 engines. Part of the reason I love the old engines, the lines look hot. Glad you like the bike man, thanks.
