  1. oh god you dont want paying in kind do you lol :Mooning:
     
  2. Kind of what?

    Knob's made.........all I need now is the length of broken inner from a speedo or tacho cable.

    About 300mm long......

    Unless of course your trip meter reset knob is different to the carb models..........I suspect it is.

    If it isn't the same, then it will become another remote throttle idle adjuster.......;)

  3. hold fire there al i have found one on a set of fz 600 clocks in the old shed
    looks like it will fit with a little modification
    had a check seems the item in question is no longer available new

    so on with the modding lol
     
  4. well another +1 to terry at italia moto lincoln got me out of a situation
    with a wiring plug for the tps as mine was corroded and damaged
    hope fully that will sort another problem :D
     
  5. I'm impressed with the dedication :upyeah:
     
  6. Time and money spent, he could have been the owner of a brand new 899 by now!
     
  7. money spent ................think i might ......might be just under two grand still ;)
    if i had the money ..........white frame 900 ss
    you can keep the new breed :Yuck:
     
  8. so onward and upward finally got round to replacing the connector for the tps
    well nice weather out after work out with the soldering iron and away we go
    cleaned the pins on the tps and a quick job done
    upshot engine starts up nice and easy runs lovely and the throttle response seems nice and smooth
    still have to ride it yet out on the road with the new engine yet
    but want to get the belts done for peace of mind been checking them when running engine
    they look like new but not sure how long they have been on engine

    so after a catalogue of disasters from crap wiring bodges and damaged wires
    knackered main bearings and damn ngk R sparkplugs failing even when new
    oh and dont forget leaking fuel level sensors and a bitch of a job to change fuel filter

    but at the end of the day it sounds damn great and it aint a yamashitaski
    and i wont see another one like it round here :Smuggrin:
    so when anybody says why a ducati ..........i have no idea
    but it looks good dunnit lol

    think i need to get some sleep ha ha ha
    nah where did i put that bottle of newcastle brown :Wacky:

  11. Mine is at the going for an MOT stage now, still need to buy the front fairing and fit the bellypan and need some new mirrors as the brake levers keep hitting mine since I changed the yoke and fitted the risers. Not ridden it yet with all the changes so hope I like it...... it will be mot'd, taxed and insured by Saturday so might gets some miles in myself.
     
  12. just treated the bike to a new set of ht leads
    and would you now it they are exactly the same as fiat siecento ones whoo

    15 quid all in and i get 4 although 2 might be a bit short
    think i was quoted £28 from ducati just for 2
     
  13. I just bought 2.0m of red copper core HT lead at something like 80 pence a metre.......

    ........£1.60, thanks very much, just about enough for four leads........

    Money to burn........;)

  14. ah but i think you have different ht coils al
    mine dont screw in similar to a cars distributor cap fitment

    anyway if it was a choice of colour think i would get yellow leads
    just to match the rear shock lol

    used to buy silicone leads that were yellow years ago when you could get them in singles
    looked nice on my old red benelli :D
     
  15. At the same time buying the copper core lead, I also bought red silicon HT lead (2.0m) for £1.59 / metre and the terminal connectors thingys for 25pence each...........four more leads done......

    :D
     
  16. allright allright ............smug ........wotsit :p
     
  17. I don't know.........There's you spending your money like no tomorrow and it hasn't got on the road yet.................and there's me running mine until it breaks down and I pack up riding and sell it......

    Come on, I'm running out of time here....hurry up, otherwise we will be on this thread in 2015, still waiting for the first test day......;)
