I have a new pony in the stable........long drive to KC and back in one day. Does driving over 1,000 in a day count as an Iron Butt event? Let me tell you I have NO desire to do it on a bike under 24 hours after yesterday.
The bike is now in it's rightful home and I need your help. The previous owner put some clip-on handle bars and removed the stockers which I'd like to change BUT I have never wrenched on a Duc. If you have the heart and time would you be willing to help? I will buy beer, food or any type of cigar/cigs you need to bribe you.....any takers? [moto]
The bike will be for the girlfriend and me too of course and maybe, just maybe a track bike.
Your help is greatly appreciated.

Congrats on the new to you bike! [thumbsup]
I can help with some wrenching, but I'm pretty booked up this weekend
Cool, man congrat's on the bike...and with chopped cans. [thumbsup] [moto] [thumbsup]
I'm sure someone here has wrenching experience with clip-ons.

Thanks. I'm in no rush to do it today or this weekend. Want to ride it a bit and maybe bring it to Hard 8 Sunday for some "critique."
Let me know when you have some time.

The only mob warning you shall receive will be the glowing of torches and the rhythm of marching feet ;D [beer]
I'm in. My skills are:
Drinking diet Pepsi
Eating beef jerky
holding tools
pointing out people's mistakes
laughing
looking good (well, actually I'm still working on that so...)
BTW, if you want the option of tracking the bike, clip ons are a good thing to have. Mine make the bike feel much better and are not uncomfortable. See you at the Hard 8. The bike looks great as it is.

Hey Dax, nice one! PM me your address, I might can make it tonight. You may have to remove or raise the upper triple to get off the fork clamps. Clip ons rule though, I'm not going back either Thelma.
nice ride; i remember looking at that for sale ad a little while back. look forward to seeing it in person.

PM or call me the 411
If you have the stock bars, or at least the the mounts that bolt to the upper triple, then it's not too much work. Looks like the clipons are the kind you can remove without sliding out the fork tubes, so that makes it much easier. I'll give you a hand, short drive for both of us probably. You are welcome to bring it by some time, I should have all the tools needed.

Thanks Jim but that doesn't make up for you not giving me a ride in the old Corvette. Now I'm really expecting an invite in the new ride. ;D

Very nice Dax!! Love the white and the double line "Ducati" [thumbsup]
I have the brushed bar and would prefer clipons.
Nice running into you and your girlfriend last night, man. Wow, are you in over your head. Do you have a lot of money or something? What DOES she see in you?
I KEED! Sorry I almost didn't stop, but I am so used to being whistled at by guys on Harleys that I barely notice it anymore...
Was this muscovyduc's bike?
I gotta say it is one clean machine, and it's gonna take a lot of work to keep it that way [laugh] [laugh] [laugh]
as for the chrome bars>
