Re: WIP: Ducati GP5

Hey Joel,

The suspension was a big relief. Subtle differences are hard to work with just looking at pictures, most of them you can get by with, but some of them make all the difference in the world. The suspension is a critical point, but if you can't see what you are dealing with, its pretty hard to replicate. A problem I encountered on the '04 Pro Link, but once I found a line drawing, it all made sense.

The calipers are quite different than the ones used on the other bikes, more of a machined block, but they have a small radius that the Brembo letters follow. The others have the letters straight across, though I can cut the Brembo decals apart to accomplish that. Getting the right look of the caliper will be hard, especially that small.

I forgot the list at home, so I will post that tomorrow night and then get some pictures up in the next couple of days.

Dave
