Just got some parts back from the ceramic coater. They turned out great. Now I'm waiting on some parts from the anodizer and the reassembly will begin.

I got some parts back from the anodizer. I plan to paint the triangular cutouts of the Zard endcaps black...i'll try to use some electrical tape and see if I like the look first.

After a long wait and much anticipation, new jewelry for the Duc finally arrived from Deutschland!



Accessories include air temp sensor, oil temp sensor, mounting cup, and Haribo miniature gummi bears (which made the wait well worth it  laughingdp)

Sure is! It's a Motgadget Chronoclassic with custom anodized bezel. The digital display is toggled thru various functions via pushbutton that can be mounted on the handlebar.

I agree that it's looking good. But be careful not to over do the gold accents. A little bling goes a long way.  waytogo

Couldn't agree with you more waytogo Definitely going to evaluate the whole look after adding each bling thing.

Should be able to get the exhaust installed this weekend. I decided to use stainless steel rivets (like the original rivets) to reassemble the cans...those SS rivets are tough! I couldn't get my rinky-dink rivet gun to pop a single rivet bang head However this arrived at my doorstep yesterday and it makes short work of those rivets. It pays to have the right tools for the job!
