I find it disturbing that you're imagining me in a sauna, never mind the teletubbie aspect of it

Back to work, cutting off some tabs and other carp before sanding and priming.





it wasn't cold yesterday, so I am guessing you were wearing the Skelington beanie to keep from burning that shiny nugget of yours from sparks of flying burning metal?!?!?!

Cleaning up the frame with some putty: apply, sand, and repeat.







And here's the first layer of paint





First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out-- Because I was not a Socialist.
Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out-- Because I was not a Trade Unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out-- Because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me--and there was no one left to speak for me.

Nice.  Where are you doing this work at? 
And the sugar fountain fairy swore so hard when she came to super-size that stale hope soybean; liiiike a homeless German woman. Who is this super-sizing spirit-crushing femme? And tell her I'll break a tree root up in her shrimp.

Being faster than you thought possible…it feels good. No, screw thatâ€"it feels like shotgunning a gallon of adrenaline and chasing it with an all-night orgy aboard a burning Viking boat.

Looking good!
Don't argue with idiots. They'll drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.

Done painting (still needs a bit of clear coat in some spots) and starting to assemble.

Been having fun with the wiring for Bianca. Since I'm using a Trailtech Vapor I need to figure out where to put the idiot lights. Here's what I came up with...  8)





Don't know if anyone has done this before, but I think it's a pretty nice fix. LEDs probably wont do much in direct sunlight, but they should be good enough.

I'm placing Neutral on the right side, and Turn, Oil and Charge warning on the left. I might be able to put high beam and low fuel on the left as well.

Looking at the Trail Tech since you mentioned it, was the wiring fairly straightforward?  Did it come with all the necessary sensors?

Very nice.  Stealthy.

FYI, there are some very bright LEDs out there that would definitely be visible in daylight, although I doubt that they'd actually catch your eye when turning on.

Good Mr. Artful posted a writeup in tutorials: http://www.ducatimonsterforum.org/index.php?topic=44219.0

The short answer is yes, with a few caveats:
  1. pick the right model since they have different wiring and sensors (I think mine was from a Raptor 600)
  2. either you buy their mount for idiot lights or you find your own way to mount them (like me  8))
  3. you might have to do some soldering for the RPM signal and the temp.

Thanks! I tried a few different LEDs when I installed a Vapor on my M750 and eventually discovered that the only way for them to really be visible was by covering them with a cowl...
