Ducati is the pretty girl that can't walk in heels without stumbling. I still love her.

...and because I am impatient, I threw on the tank and seat.  I also got the new bars and throttle installed.  Waiting on my ebay high beam switch.

Sound clip of the cored pipes.  I like them as much or more than the TBR's on my other 620!  (Yes, I know my idle is low)

I thought you had asked me for wallpaper and that's what I sent ;D  Beleive it or not, I left that particular Post Office, without stamps that day . ..  all were used in you package, the package to koko64, a package for Guatemala, another one for Ecuador and one for Mexico . . . All OEM parts from my bike . .. still have a box that needs to be resent to Reseda, CA . . . I sent it to myself to my US address . . .

Enjoy them . . . The oil inside of them is Shell 10W, since the OEM shocks were a bit "mushy" for my 190lbs body, I sort of experimented.

BTW, never use that address . ..  I will never get anything there .., that's a general delivery POBox but never use it . ..

Well, the project is nearing completion!  Installed new bar end mirrors and levers.  Wrapped the forks in vinyl and painted the headlight and brackets.  Took it out for a 40 miles test run and everything felt great.  Now to buzz the suspension down so the wife can give it a spin  :)

Glad that those forks found a good bike to be on . . . And the seals will find their way too  . ..

Both bikes look great .  .  .
