apologies for the lack of updates, in something of a holding position until engine built

found a pressure banjo that fits the rear MC, save a couple of bob

lockstops turned / milled, friend put a nice concave rad on the front for me

left one is much longer, can see the damper brace bar being modified to increase right hand lock

got a few bits n bobs to clean up while waiting but no point me posting random ramblings until I get something proper to do

Seems a damn shame to cover up that nice logo you engraved in the triples with that headlight mount. Kind of hard to avoid though. Keep em comin!

crankcases button up again, with a fully functioning gearbox , clutch springs ordered

pressure switch #2 , for the clutch this time, i think the TL needs this the same as my gsxr or it goes into a zero map thing

who says I never do the washing up.....

nail the stuff back onto my covers time , new bearing, cam position sensor etc

It's a handsome looking engine - what's it like to work on?

 

[yantosh]

horizontal split cases are easier, but seems ok, i,m just the sorcerers apprentice tho,

 

[yantosh]

still much hurry up and wait

but in a blatantly attention seeking post

my engine in a bucket had o sump plug, does now tho, wee bit of Ti goodness, plated ones weren,t much cheaper, but looked shit

front brake pressure banjo arrived too, but we all know what they look like

safest place for my bodywork is hanging off the bike , popped on a couple of stickers, bolted the headlights back in too, need to keep something moving

 

[yantosh]

thats the first side of the bottom end kinda together

 

[yantosh]

I been shopping, I am poor again....... but I have things

we have ourselves a PC V

520 chain and sprockets

then onto the fuel pump, the stock Ducati fuel line fittings are by all accounts shit and its not if they,ll break, its when, so I will formulate a plan to fit better ones

and I need to take off the regulator as the TL bodies have their own, I figure its the one thats made for the job
