Parts, Winter Plans, and Local Help

Some new parts are on their way, mostly funded through the sales of old parts that I no longer used, or found alternatives for. Among these are DP/DPM Billet Cam End Covers and Valve Covers with Oil Cooler Mount (which should go nicely with the a)VeeTwo Cams yet to be put on and b)Rizoma Billet Oil Cooler). Things will look nice, machined, and tidy on the motor. Only thing left is some actual motor work in the indefinite future (putting in the cams and high compression pistons, maybe 944 kit).

Some paint work will be undertaken this winter as well. A new 'cafe' style rear cowl is being made by a former DFW Ducati rider, Jesus, which will be bolted up for evaluation and later sent, along with my carbon fiber front fender, off to paint. New to the DFW area is Brad Miller, of Motion Ducati, who will perform some paint, powdercoating, and engine work (when that time comes around).

Also here to help is a friend who enjoys doing the mechanical, and an extra set of hands will be quite handy during the IMA triple set install. This requires removing front wheel, forks, controls, gauges, the triples, and the bearing races that will be in the steering head, as well as installing new tapered bearings (original equipment on pre-02 Monsters) and races, and butting it all back up.

So far behind...

But fear not. New pictures and post are soon to be added.

Wiring has been moved. Powdercoating things will be done. Here's a few pictures to keep you going until I can post up some substance:
