Hi all,
Been on here some time posting and learning. Bought this Duc M600 needing a lot of TLC. Here it is nearly complete. Thanks for all the tech help so far

Damn that tank looks nice!
I'm guessing flat black with a gold decal? Any closeups?
Very nice. [clap]
Thanks. Yes matte black with gold

Very nice indeed ,how do you find the new front mud guard goes with the old monster,I ask because I have a 97 m600 and was looking at the same unit.

I like the looks of it so much better. If you're asking about fit it bolts right on
in your third row of photos there's one with the tank up and leaning back on the rubber. that's not advisable due to the strain it can put on the hinge pad spot welds, which do pull and weep.
Great job...looks like a new bike.
How'd you go about removing the dent out of the tank?
That looks dope! I like the matte back against the gloss black frame.
Great job. I did the same thing with an old M600. I won't post pictures out of respect for your thread.
Have you considered polishing those headers? All you need is some sandpaper, WD-40, a few hours and few beers...
Thanks. What grit sandpaper your recommend?
Nice work Rad [thumbsup]

Coming out good . . . I must do it to . . .
VERY nice ,I think I might have to break out the wet and dry sandpaper too [clap] I have ordered the front mud guard too,I fitted the new headlight,clocks,cowl and turn signals as well as a few other odds and sods.
How do I post pics ? I am very much an analog man in a digital world [bang]

I use photobucket, they have an app for iphone/ipad etc as well as just their website. Upload your pics there and each will have a direct link which you can copy in between the tags that appear when you click image add button in the tool bar when posting

Easier way, if you're using the Photobucket app just click on the IMG tag, which copies the code for you...saves a step, no need to use the image button here.
