Great project. But about that spring, doesn't it have to many coils??? Compared to the real Ducati I mean.

Sweet! cool that that fork works!:)

Bas, I must check that again but this one is Sport Production version.

yeah... nice bike!!

and yeah bikes don't get enough attention from the crowd here. :-/

is the chain original?
cause i am also planning on building a duc 916 but don't really know if i should take the tiny tamiya or the huge protar/revell

Yes, but not metal. It's all made from small parts and there need lots of time to make it.

but it seems to be worth all the time ;)

Nice wants to se that one finsihed;) great progress!

yeah... nice bike!!

and yeah bikes don't get enough attention from the crowd here. :-/

Lokk at that tube frame, that is the way every bike should look like. Very nice, can't wait to see it finalized.

Awesome work!!

I love that bike! and it looks so big...(because of it is big:P)
love that frame. what body color have you planed for it?

Gveman, it will be red of course. :smile:

Exhaust is finaly finished.
http://files.automotiveforums.com/gallery/watermark.php?file=/500/32140P6170002.JPG

Nice work, but if i can suggest something, scrap that ugly licence plate holder please!

wow...

If you could only find Termignoni sticker for that exhausts they would be more then perfect, this way they are only perfect ;-)

Looks very nice so far. Keep it up.

Nice!:) i thought so;)
Looks like a real bike;) except from one thing.... no oil spills :P

I decided to back color to normal red and here is result. :smile:

No no, carefully :evillol: the spills are bikes tears for not driveing it the way it should be droven. Zeljko I think this red is killer, nice and shiny

Wait to see it now when I painted it all in red. :-)

Man...I really want one of these the model and the real thing, but in Jet Black. The bike looks awesome, it's mind numbing how cool it is.

Looking more cool evry time you post it, specialy in this high tech looking enviormente (probably spelt it wrong). Anyhow very nice.

Another one with cowling on bike.

Allmost there, nice and shinny red, gold + red, perfect combination. I would only put a bit of wash on those exhaust pipes, but just a bit, but hey only my opinion.

Final touches will be added on the end. :-)
