  2. Don't know the exact origin of the discs as they are on my 'bitsa' Monster, I believe they originated from an SS1000 but not sure? they are a common style though and seen on many different Ducati models.

    As for cutting the bobbins off, I tried drilling at first but that was a bastid job so I ground them off with a 4 1/2 grinder and 'soft' pad.

    I got the STM bobbins from PDQ Your one stop performance shop
     
  3. Nice one mate will check em out for sure. probably be one of the last jobs I think as im skint!!!! and need to prioritise fairings/painting I think. Im ok with a grinder :rolleyes:

  8. You could always put Andre into your curry so he could pass through your arse one more time. :biggrin:

    NO NO ,sorry strike that only joking . My bad .

    Hope the paint doesn't come out dead flat .

    NO NO sorry again .
     
  9. That's in terrible taste peter.... he would have liked that.. bit weird yesterday sifting thru him with the painter but again, the cocksucker had a sense of humour... (for a French man)

  10. Lucky for me you've also got a sense of humour, I was going to delete that as even I thought it was a bit stiff. :wink:
     
  11. Oh fantastic build by the way , excellent use of black and polished parts.
     
  12. Thanks mate... Bit blinging for some maybe? but I've always like the black and polished idea, just looks clean and defined to me. Gunna introduce a bit more white in the paintwork (as well as Andre!) again because of the contrast

Missing the bloody spring now! its gotta come of to finish polishing as my dremmel packed up last night and the bracket got missed on the powder coating so I will paint it. Fitted throttle bodies and that's about it today I think.... Painter has finally started!!! and will be done n 2 weeks (ish) depending on my ideas!
