Randy did you get my email about the exhaust?

Hey Raux,

I sure did, and it looks awesome, I'll be meeting with virtually every exhaust manufacturer a week from now at the EICMA show in Milan and will see who is up for building us something unique.

yeah i wish i could make it to Italy, timing is bad for me. I'll be there next year for sure.

I decided to go full monty and deconstruct it, here it is as of today (tomorrow should just be frame and motor after we test fit a couple parts)...



I've got some solid ideas for it now though and when I get back from the EICMA show in Italy I will be ready to start the real fun!

It's actually pretty kick ass, our shop occupies 2000 sq ft of space right in the heart of Knoxville's old city in a building that is about 200 years old and just has some really classy and cool character (or did until we got there).  [drink]

BellissiMoto,
That is a GENIUS idea of using a ladder as a lift/jack!
I have that identical ladder at home... I think I'll be using it to do some spring tension adjustments later today.
(I know that was in no way what you were showcasing, but thanks!)

Peace!

Just glad to help  [thumbsup]

Our last shop had massive steel I-beams that held up the 2nd floor, and we had some awesome steel cable ratchet lifts I would use to lift my bikes and it worked very well, so when we got to our new location and there were no I-beams to lift from I had to improvise.

KTM already does that. When you sell your yellow bike, give it a shot.

Just waiting on a check for the yellow bike ........its going to Washington DC where the new buyer resides.

We finished the disassembly around 11pm last night, here she is now:

whatever color combo you make, make the swingarm and frame the same color

+1   this always looks the best, in my opinion ducati should have spent the extra effort to do this.
Of course on mine they did  ;D

Copy cats...

Just 2 weeks after I posted my idea of using the Laser Dual Tip GP Extreme mufflers on our S4RS, the guys at Radical Ducati released their 9 & 1/2 custom build with - how coincidentally, the same exact exhaust set up.
