ducatilover's squidtastic pile of crap

[ducatilover]

FANTASTIC!!!!! There are 1870 of them available too

[ducatilover]

I've spotted a well priced set of flatslides, but they're 34mm. I'm pretty sure they'll work on this fucker though, seeing as the GSX-R750 from way back ran them.

Missed out on the FCRs, had to take one of the kids to hospital.

Pic slutting, new tank
Started polishing the fork bottoms too. Mmmmm blingtastic

That faux billet doesn't look to bad! The subframe looks a bit rusty though, or is it just a bit of dirt?

I thought it was sort of, slightly clever of me

'Tis surface rust, I smoothed it up a while ago and it'll be painted black, with the undertail once I weld in a new seat mount

Decisions.

To keep it when it's done?
I simply cannot hop on it and have a leisurely cruise and enjoy myself like I do/did on the GN, or my Spada, CB400, Bros etc, or before I decided to build it like this.
It's beautiful when you're moving at a fast pace (fast for me, probably not very impressive, but getting close to my testicular displacement), it's not fun at a beige pace.
I went for a zoom today on a real grouse road or two and found myself doing some stupid speeds, whilst the bike was perfectly stable, I don't like being so mad on the road (front guard didn't rub on the private road doing 200+ either)
It's incredible how it becomes such a great feeling thing when you're doing spastic speeds and leaning like the pilot powers tell me to, yet at a normal pace it feels heavy.

It still needs a seat mount, finish the undertail, paint and to be rego/wof'd and I have no idea what it'd be worth.

I really don't know.

Bugger that's a tough one.....

I'm sure its more sentimental value then $ value.

[banditrider]

It's starting to look really good - one day you may even finish it...

Keep it and look after it and ya licence!

I really wouldn't mind a nice loud Vtwin (VTR or TL) again

That's certainly the case, which is probably why it'll stay in my garage

One of these days eh? I'm liking the OEM blue on the tank, once I blend the tail to the tank unit I might follow the blue through on the tail, I have a plan and I think it'll look choice

Still have to turbo it

Me too...miss the VTR. At least the DL makes the right noise and encourages hooligan behaviour...

I love VTRs, always wanted one. But whether or not I'd get enough money for this to buy myself a VTR, let alone TL, is another story
Something about twins that does it for me (hehe) not the 15krpm limiter on this which = "Doug's being a dick, again" every time

That looks like a standard ZZR600 speedo and surround

Well done with the camera in the throttle hand...
