Adjusted seat brackets and mounted seat. Nothing I can do about the gap on top. I remember it being gapped when it was delivered. No adjustments on cowl or seat since there are four latch down points.

I'll roll with it as is.

A nice Ducati full sport/race bike ! That one doesn't look like it would be happy 'just cruising around town'

Me thinks you're right!

Can anyone point me to a supplier that sells film that I could cut and apply to protect the seat from maring the fuel tank?

Would like to keep the fuel tank clean in this area.

TIA.

Had a ballast go out on a 8 foot fluorescent so I decided to do a redo. Hung 2 new lights, T8 times 4 each with 6500k tubes. Fixtures on sale at Lowes.

Let there be light!

Do you think it's really necessary, tt? I've seen the damage you are trying to avoid, but typically only be seen when the seat is open or off.
I wouldn't want to see the film. Reminds me of when gramma covered the couch with plastic!

I guess it's just the "new paint" syndrome Steve.

Thanks for the link.

OK, paint work done! Picked this up today before the Holiday weekend.

Should look killer.

Inside painted flat black, need to wipe it down a bit and get this mounted up.

Looks a bit pale compared to the tank tt,what color red is that ?

toytuff · « **Reply #483 on:** November 23, 2016, 05:27:05 PM »

Same, PR4.

Could be the lighting and time of day. I'll uncover the bike tomorrow and take a closer look.

I dug out a side cover, looks good to me.

Here is a picture uploaded to the site, not PB.

That's a match tt

looks nice.

Worked quite a bit on mounting the cowl. Brackets were bent involving quite a bit of tweaking. Used parts I suppose.

Still needs some fitment work.

Trying to figure out how in the heck you would wire the turn signals. Wires in the bucket are not long enough to reach outside.

-You have to mount the headlight before the cowl otherwise you have no room to tighten the headlight mounting screws.

-Can't wire the turns with the headlight mounted.

Might have to make up some leads, will see.

Who knows? I have been so busy with the other half's medical issues, follow up appointments, usual appointments, house work, shopping I haven't even put fresh fuel in the Ducati. Haven't taken a ride since last June or so. Don't foresee one anytime soon either.

Add to that, still waiting on carburetors.

Rumor has it that carburetors will be done this Saturday. Plan on helping as it's been way to long.

Will see.

RAFster122s · « **Reply #497 on:** April 19, 2017, 08:30:46 PM »

Hope the carbs are wrapped up soon so that you may enjoy riding it some before it becomes blazing hot out there.
It likely very hot already.
Tease your carb guy that he is suppose to do jobs like this for helping cover any taxes he might owe.

Who is doing the carburetors for this bike?

Stev-o · « **Reply #499 on:** April 19, 2017, 09:10:36 PM »

I thought you sold this bike long ago! Should have sent them to Nils...
