well today i have been polishing the exhaust and relacquered the silencers and heat shields .i dont know what grade of stainless steel ducati use for their exhausts but it takes some polishing to get a shine on it .

Hi, well time for another update from the workshop today . I have been mostly rebuilding the forks and a bit of painting .so forks rebuilt with new bushes and seals and new oil and the springs fitted the right way up as the last person to rebuild them had put them in upside down and not put enough oil in them as well

no wonder the poor thing dived like a crash diving u boat when I touched the brakes .I also spruced up the belt covers as they where a bit tatty .

Are you planning on making it seaworthy or is the propeller for decoration only?

Well I might fit the prop and the porthole to the next project a orange county chopper themed bike !!
