another Ducati 1000 build....

[buzzer]

Top work as always.

Any plans for a spin on the Dyno, engine sound really peppy w Ignitech?

to be honest it runs so well I don't think i will bother...  more to the point...  they scare me!

Question for you guys...  My Ducati builds have come to an end for now as I have gone to the dark side and bought a Guzzi, which I will be doing a custom build on.

The question is, do I continue to post in this thread the progress on the Guzzi if you guys are interested in its progress, or say goodbye until the next Ducati?  happy to do either...

I have to say I find some of the Guzzi guys a bit "strange" !!!

Here is the Guzzi on the hoist!

Do post the build!  New thread might be a good idea, but either way I will be looking.

New thread is more appropriate.

well its a while since I posted on this thread...  I did quite a few miles on this build this year as its now the only bike I own with a dual seat after I sold my Harley V-ROD...  My wife likes to ride pillion but the Harley just became too heavy for me to move around 

However, I never liked the way the exhaust looked...  so out came the welder and I made another...  I am not keen on lobster cut bends so I have used some stainless mandrel bends, which are quite cheap and come in many angles.  A tip when making exhausts is to temporarily hold things together with Jubilee clips, and if you slot a couple, you can tack through the slot which keeps things nicely aligned 

No full bike build for me this year    house renovations instead, but they are now almost complete...)  Happy wife, happy life  :lol:
