It's happening, I am building a Monster!

[SuperMike]

I'm down to make some cool custom decals for it if you want.

 

[horsepower]

I wish I had your mad skillz, Gwynne.

Inspiration?
M900 build #3 is rolling off my operating table this weekend.
Full Frankenstien rebuild of a crashed salvaged 1996 frame bike, swapped in a clean title straight 1994 frame and built with the best parts from my parts piles to good as new.
I like building monsters. I forgot to take the fully disassembled "engine alone" picture because I was having too much fun building, by the time I remembered to take a pic it was a couple of hours later and I had half a bike already...

I miss my M900. Great bike, easy to wrench on, and sexy as hell.

You don't have to miss it, that one I just built will be for sale shortly... wink wink. (Edit: nvm, I just saw your Pakistan sales, have a great time)

I still have a pile of parts if you need them. Moike may be coming by this weekend to get a bunch of stuff for his bike but I will have a lot of what you need. As I said, PM me with a list or to come rummage.

 

[rebekahlynn]

I'll help too! Awesome project. I love the tail chop, Adam.

 

[Hoho]

I'll bring the ice cream (and probably eat it all too)...

 

[carries an axe]

whats the first project G?

 

[ThumperX]

We've had a setback at home but next week the bike gets broken down then we repair the wiring harnes and see if it runs.

 

[ThumperX]

After much silence, amazing chaos at the home fort, and the passing of my best furry companion it's time to tackle teh monster again.

We sat in a chair just looking at it for several hours today, it's hurt a little worse than I originally thought so there is a change of plans.

This Monster is going to see the sawzall, a welder, a tubing bender, anddepending of another wreck I spotted a few weeks ago is still around I'm going to turn it into a Scrambler.

Stay tuned.

Shouldnthave, PM inbound.

 

[Lunch Box]

Scrambler. PERFECT! I can't wait to see how this thing progresses. I would also love to help out if you need an extra pair of semi-skilled hands along the way.

 

[ThumperX]

Yes Aaron, and you were there for the epiphany!

Document it well, and I bet that we can get it featured on Ducati.net. I know the editor-in-chief pretty well and she would probably love to do a write-up of this saga.

Dear Ms. ThumperX,

I think you meant "tore" versus "tour".
...the right side bore the brunt. The slider tour the frame at the engine mount...

[ThumperX]

Ahhh, yes tore not tour
2014, the year of proof reading.

No side car for this beauty. Big question, will it be ready for the Spring Rally? Who can lace a pair of Excel wheels up to a set of hubs that work? What hubs and how do I accommodate the existing brakes? Can I just change out the form tubes to add a bit of travel or do I need to replace the entire fork?

This is going to be huge fun!

[Kornholio]

Not what I expected.

 

[ThumperX]

Something along these lines

 

[Kornholio]

Now that's nice!

 

[Cabrito]

I'm just going to hang around and watch this one evolve..
