Just popped in on this one, a very nice kit by the looks of it, and your doing a great job so far.

Ducati engines are a bit different all round I think, what with their desmodromic valve system that hardly anyone else bothers with.

A who what where system

Just popped in on this one, a very nice kit by the looks of it, and you’re doing a great job so far.

Welcome along Ian, its certainly going together nicely

[Mickc1440]

Just had time to screw the engine into the frame. Last update for two weeks as I’m off on holiday.

Mick cracking work so far, can you squeeze me in your suit case I won't take up a lot of room, promise.

[Mickc1440]

Enjoy mate :smiling3:

Thanks Brian

What kind of nonsense is this, Mick!!! It's getting real interesting now and you want to just jet off on holiday for 2 weeks??? Is there no justice in the world???......Oh sorry, I forgot old people need a holiday every so often!!!......

Have fun, Enjoy them and relax my friend. Oh, and like I said to Geoff, only order the Pina Coladas with the umbrellas in them. You don't need sunburnt fingers when you get back home and continue with this great build........

Back at it Bob, had a great time

[Mickc1440]

More progress made but this really is a steep learning curve. I’ve fitted more pipes to the engine, radiator on, built a swing arm apparently and got the exhaust together. This has some decals which look like carbon fibre to go on.

[Mickc1440]

More progress but back on nights tonight. Had some real problems with the exhaust decals laying down but then creasing, I think i might end up just painting. Got the swing arm screwed in place now for the front forks.
