Been riding a few years now. Started on a Yamaha RD back in college, Didnt really consider another bike untill my youngest turned 18. While in Italy, around Florence, I saw motorcycle clubs carving up the roads. Reawakened the desire to ride for me. Got a M695 to start with, then a 996. Currently I am reworking a S4RS. Not alot of ducati's in my part of Mississippi, but lots of small 2 lane highways with beautiful rolling hills. The 996 is too pretty to do much to, so the S4RS is letting me work out my fabricating frustrations. I have already found some information and ideas to aid these modifications and thought I should join the forum to participate in the discussion.
Welcome!
Oh you'll find plenty here. Not too long ago a fellow welded up an (almost) all Titanium version of the classic trellis for his S4R. Got a couple other projects of various invasion going on presently and some pretty serious word documented in the past.
Take some photos and share, you'll have an appreciative audience for fab work here
notice I linked fabrication with frustration. My eyes are bigger than my stomach but looking at others work motivates me to try and up my skills. Ill try and post a picture tonight.
