I can tell you have a very big kitchen !!!

[Crap Tartan]

A guy on TLZone forum called Rifleman in the US makes them from your original or he can supply in any colour combination you see fit.

Yes Snap, luckily I do have a big kitchen! Tomorrow it moves into the conservatory..................................really!!

Lucky sod,when we had our conservatory built my mrs insisted on a single door so i couldn`t get the bike in .

Can you tell i have a very understanding mrs!!!!

Of course you have, you're still on honeymoon

I bet you daren't do it in 5 years

Frame looks ace, is it powdercoat? What colour is the bodywork?

Looking good!!

... Yes Snap, luckily I do have a big kitchen! Tomorrow it moves into the conservatory..................................really!!

There is no room in the conservatory for my Raptor - that is where the trike is being built! ... and you cant get a bike into the kitchen the hall is too narrow and twisty (we have tried!)

And dont panic, after "several" years together Andy and I have bikes/ bits all over the house so the "honeymoon" can last

[Crap Tartan]

Actually going on honeymoon no.2 to the Algarve next month (told the first one was a "minimoon" coz it was less than 2 weeks so it doesnt count!

The frame and lots of other parts are powdercoated by a place in Glasgow and the paint job was VVVV expensive and done by Bike paints in Cupar, it mainly black but with a diff!!

[dizzyblonde]

ooooooooooooo shiny shiny stuff, I like
Hmmm you do seem to have an understanding Mrs. I'm glad nobody can get anything like it in through my doors, Carnivore was miffed when he lived here, as his old landlady allowed him to have three bikes in the garage, half a one in his bedroom as a clothes horse, one in the hall and another being rebuilt in his living room

The only bike bits in my house these days are well hidden, but you might open the oven to a set of brake calipers in it!

[Crap Tartan]

The mrs is ace but it has helped by getting her into biking and them buying her her very own rap!!

(she loves it) ; )

[dizzyblonde]

ahhhhhhh bribery at its finest...works a treat...lol

[Fausto]

That's going to look good. Look forward to seeing the finished article. Shame about the tax holder though.

What's the score with the clutch then? Is that a perspex window so you'll see loads of oil once it's running ?

[Crap Tartan]

wassup with the tax holder???


Its a perspex windowed clutch cover so you can see when you`ve no oil left!!!

[dizzyblonde]

A lot of Ducati owners add them to their bikes. I think its to distract the attention away from them sounding like the clutch is being dragged down the road behind them

[Fausto]

Don't Ducatis use dry clutches? No need for a window really. It will be interesting to see how yours looks when it's running. Certainly be a reminder to change the oil once it gets looking a bit black.

Personally I like to hide the tax disc holder as well as poss. They is ugly. And isn't it supposed to be on the left hand side?
I was trying to remember where mine was fixed but realised I don't have one. I just carry the disc in my wallet

Anyway - it wasn't meant as a criticism - I was just suprised that you'd want it spoiling the look of such a fine looking machine.
