O.K. so how much for the rug?

I am sorry the rug is priceless to me, but if you want to bring the 999 over and have it on the rug to take a pic, its free.

well my tax person told me to hold off on anything for awhile it looks like I OWE THE MAN. so instead of shipping the bike over stuart right now I've decided to get upclose and personal with it. a major cleaning will also be done, but a 100% going over. Plus I can paint the belt covers while in there. so I have also ordered my dual socket for the rear axle, so the wheels will be off also.

here is what it looks like as of now. bad pics(late night bad light.)

Now for some good news:
I recently sold mindy's bike to tyler. his 1st payment he ordered a set of arrows for the 748. well they arrived, so I unwrapped them and went to put them on, well there not 45mm they are 50mm cans. but i needed a new midpipe, so i called them back and they have a 45/50 mid pipe. which they are sending me pics to see if thats what I need. more to come

Well the new midpipe should be here by friday!!!

Hope that takes care of the fitment issue with the slip ons.

So did you order the SpeedyMoto dual sided rear axle socket? Like I said, a chunk of change but damn well made and it will last several lifetimes!

Meh, plenty of time to get it to Stuart. It can wait... although maybe you can't!!

The US Gov't. always wants their share over Ducati and Stuart. You know the program.

No i ordered one off fleebay, so we'll see how long it works. as for the midpipe, it should fix the fit issue (fingers crossed).

Stuart called this morning. He said the 748 was good to go. No rocker flaking! He had to change 12 of the 16 shims. Will probally go get it Sat. Need to talk to richd, to get some minor welding done on the new exhaust.
