ducatilover's squidtastic pile of crap

[Fast Eddie]

it does look mint bro.

back wheel looks like it needs a polish..

get a better camera

[ducatilover]

I'm working on getting a camera, but I'm hopeless at spending money on anything except bikes and smokes.

That rear wheel will be coming off once I finish the mighty GN, it needs polish and paint. I'll be re-painting the calipers too.
And the whole bike.
Not sure what colour this time, I reckon red will look cool.
I have some uber-super-duper high temp paint for the headers too.
I really want my new temp gauge to get here


I haven't ridden it in over a month!

[Fast Eddie]

rrrride it everyday

yea nice simple temp gauge. we need a few items for the sidecar. could go overboard tho. exhaust temp, head temp, water temp, oil temp, oil pressure.. be a f*ckn aircraft cockpit in short time

[ducatilover]

Was going to go for a ride today, but it's wet and it'll get dirty I should grab some alloy sheet and make an undertail.

Enough gauges to tell you your sphincter temp?

yea im washing the blade twice a week thru winter, dust mud shit flying everywhere. I like to keep it shiny. damn commuter duties..

hehe you are right.. maybe toward end of the year. right now it has a temp gauge that doesnt work and a rev gauge that is retarded (bit slow) gotta think ahead and shift at like 9 or 10 cause the engine is actually up to about 12k rpm lol..

when the valves bounce its time to change gear in'nit?

No idea how a turn and slip indicator would go on a sidecar...

This bike seems to pick up dirt and dust everywhere and it doesn't help that the undertail is exposed, so I'm gambling nothing important gets too wet lol

dont you have a missus? add it to her daily cleaning checklist . . .

[ducatilover]

I love this bike.
Threw the battery in it, hasn't been started for over a month I think, hit the prime button for a few secs and she fired straight up.

Took it for a quick blat, no temp gauge yet so didn't go very far.
Still seeping a wee bit of oil (fuck all)
It's a wee bit on the lean side, so sounds grouse at high revs off the throttle.
It was damp, so everything is fucking filthy, I really have to make an undertail for it...

Or just HTFU?



When you start getting your CF production into swing do it then?

Will be a while before I can afford to make random carbon bits for my own bikes, everything I have is going in to savings to start this shit up

HTFU won't work when all my electrics are getting wet

Silicone spray them to the teeth mate.

[ducatilover]

I actually thought about that lol
But the little things are starting to fuck me off on this bike, I really am keen to rip it back down to bare bones when the Dougcati beast is done and re-loom it.
The wiring is fucking all over the place, Kawasaki are idiots.
When I make an undertail, I'll mount all the 'leccy bits and bobs to it (except the R/R, that stays where it is)
I'll also make a new battery tray, the one in it is for a lead acid standing upright, but the nom nom AGM one in it can be laid down.

Bets on how long it takes for me to see it every day, lose the plot and start the build again?

God, finish it first then re crash it then re-re-build it
