Glad to see some progress in this thread but...

On the 916 it's up from the master, between the fender and the shock (or in front of the shock if you don't have a fender), on top of the chain cover, then down to the caliper right before the sprocket.

What did you do for the motor/frame/swingarm setup? I see your "oops" photo showing them not line up, but no more photos to elaborate.

Did you remove bosses from the cases? What about the alignment issue?

I think this is the photo you're talking about.

Found a good welder thanks to Artful and had him do a bit of cut & paste on the frame.

This photo should illustrate the problem better (this is before doing any work).


I took care of the engine cases with a cutter wheel and narrowed them down to the necessary width for the SBK swingarm to fit.


EDIT: Found where I went over these issues on my build thread: http://www.ducatimonsterforum.org/index.php?topic=46971.45

Thanks for the speedy reply!

My plan is to leave the frame as is, and try to deal with the hole through some sort of boss or filler bore.

Ideally I'd like to get the motor setup similarly to a 4V motor so it wouldn't need the one frame. I like your idea, though.

Decisions, decisions!
