Hello, my name is Keri. My S4* is my third Ducati('66 Diana) and second Monster ('94 M900).
She has just come back to life after a S4R engine transplant, and I cannot wait to get her back on the road!
Last summer the stock engine threw a rod bearing during a ride to Leavenworth. Thinking it would be less expensive and less of a project to just swap engines, my hubby found an S4R engine right away. However, it took all winter, and a highly skilled machinist friend to get the 996 engine to play nice with the 916 chassis.
[bang]
During that down time, the bodywork was repainted and the CF was recleared. We also traded out the ugly raised clipons for nice low and wide MX bars. All that's needed now is a master/slave cylinder rebuild for the clutch and a tune up, and we *should* be good to go.
I'm sure more small modifications will happen along the way. Until then, I look forward to benchracing with you all!
Cheers!
Keri
