Nick,
Charlie and Al are men of few words but they know what the hell they are talking about and are very fair in their pricing. Should be picking up my 750 wheels they helped me out with on Monday.

Tews- Do you know if the ducati tail light has the electronics integrated in the unit itself? Or do we need to get some of the wiring from an actual ducati to make the sequential turn signals and flashing brake light work?

I wired up a ducati LEd tail light with no problems. I could see a little circuit board in there, but just crossed my fingers and plugged it in. It didnt have integrated turn signals, though.

The welding has begun thanks to Godffrey... I went last night with my 2 girls and youngest boy to his place... I will have to go back later to mount the rear sets and plug two holes. Overall love the look. . My vision is coming through!

Everyone thinks Chuck Norris is bad, but Chuck Norris has not meet Lucky either.  Lucky will round house kick Chuck back to 1969 and pop a wheel with the 1st sandcast while shotgunning a PBR!

Nice! I got the same pistons but for the 750=836.  Did you get bolts for the rotor yet?  lowes has high grade ones. I believe they are 5/16" x 18 x 1"

They are 5 ohms. I had another set on my other 550... They were green though.

They are 5 ohms.

Good.  Seems to be problems with the 3 ohm. During the Rally, Tommy's bike would get hot and 2 cyl cut out.  He limped back to camp, changed coils and was good to go.

I read that you could use 3 ohm but the battery would drain right away and that the coils would tend to burn out faster....I could be wrong though...

Many people had been running the 3 ohm on the 550 but experienced some electrical problems with the fuse block, coils or even Ignition switch overheating.
I recently spoke with a tech guy at DYNA and he recommended the 5 ohm to avoid these issues.

Family member did... I need to mock up the front end as the spacer for the axle will be made and the cover for the bearings on the neck.
