Today is a landmark day, All of the needed parts for my "build" are either on hand or have shipped! The moment of truth is quickly approaching and I am psych'ed!
Progress to date.....
- Frame is sandblasted
- Frame "cut-down" & welded
- Wheels sandblasted & painted
- New wheel bearings installed
- Engine rebuild "completed" *Does the process of engine modification ever ends
- Swingarm bushings (bronze) replaced
- Frame painted Ducati Red
- 33mm Carbs rebuilt & mounted
- Forks rebuilt (all new seals) and lowers painted
- New Venom tires mounted and balanced
Now to build-up the chassis. This weekend my "pile" will become a "roller".
The pile of new parts and bits has accumulated in direct ratio to the balance on my credit card. Good news, this is a "debt free" project. In other words, I pay the account balance off every month and let finances dictate the completion date of by build. Now that everything needed for the build is "on-hand", time will become the limiting factor. Let the build begin!
