Finally some make the beast with two backsing progress.

finished the motor mounts





got everything lined up just right and tacked em into place





I think they will look pretty cool when all welded up. What do YOU think?

Then they came for me--and there was no one left to speak for me.

I hate wasting good titanium



and made some new flanges for my different style exhaust

anyone know what pressure the oil cooler is put through.  Im exploring my options with slightly larger coolers.

Mine maxes out at around 115 cold. Mind you it reads 10 PSI when the bike's off  ???
I own several motorcycles. I have owned lots of motorcycles. And have bolted and/or modified lots of crap to said motorcycles...

How big of an oil cooler are you looking at?  We have ran a 16 row 115mm wide oil cooler on a 696 with no problem.  That is roughly a 6"x5"x2" of actual cooler core.  The standard S2R ducati oil cooler core is roughly half the effective cooling area of the cooler we tried.

Those exhaust flanges are beautiful. They are so well made compared to the stockers. You could make a batch that would fit the stock headers and sell them, no worries.

Except how do you put them on an existing exhaust? You couldn't get them on.

I take it those header pipes have a flair of some sort @ the head for that flange to push on. But with these the header pipes are seperate before the collector are they not? Take the collector off then you could slide the old flange off and the new one one?

Count me in for a set of those too.  They look sweet.

truckinduc

Yes those are a special design that get made on to the actual tubes.   

I was thinking about making a few sets that work just like the stockers, but look much better. Possibly with fins to look more old school also.
