  1. Looks fantastic, job very well done and would be very proud if it was mine :upyeah:
     
  2. Thanks everyone.

    I am chuffed to bits with the result.

    However, she’s not yet perfect. What was a working temperature gauge last week is now finito. The sensor/sender has just died on me. I don’t think I’ll find one soon with everything closed for Christmas.

    Just trying to find an alternate, not Ducati stamped, part. Looks like it could be a VDO oil temperature sensor, with M12 x 1.5 thread, I guess around 120 degree range.

    Any experts out there know what will work?
     
  3. If you don't mind a little, gratuitous, "showing-off my toys like a proper twat". But I had a camera with me on her first real run - venturing far from fuel bowsers and tool boxes - in the hills of Umbria, Italy.

    Fuelling isn't quite right and suspension settings are coming together slowly - confidence in the bike and local roads increases, so does the speed. But it's all a progression.

    Meanwhile I think she looks a pretty for an old girl.

  5. i forgot to ask but did you clean/wire wheel the fasteners up before you sent away:thinkingface:
     
  6. Short answer "no". Longer answer. I bought a used rear hub assembly off ebay as it was in much better condition than mine, and included a rear rotor which I needed. I then had every bolt and bit re-plated.

  7. Unusual "quiet clutch mod"in that video.

  8. Ha, I don't think it was meant to be a quiet clutch mod. I've now put about 300-400 miles on the bike the clutch has bedded in and makes a little more noise, or music if you prefer, but not obnoxious at all.
