Noise Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 Yer i took the draggy out yesterday to a Karate Seminar and all was great till i started riding home, then the bolts holding the rear fender struts came off so it was a quick bodge job with sparky tape and a careful ride home. Just wish i could have brought her to work today Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator DirtyDT Posted February 18, 2013 Moderator Share Posted February 18, 2013 It's still nippy out. I couldn't feel my knees until lunchtime on Friday. I am on leave this week so I should get a little TS tinkering in. Ordered a couple of bits for it and will try and sort the electrics out (finally). Too cold for the engine rebuild but this came in the post last week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderator DirtyDT Posted February 18, 2013 Moderator Share Posted February 18, 2013 Only one thing I would like at the moment. I brought a new battery for it but, in my excitement, brought the one for your model! never mind, I will use it to test the electrics. I have a feeling that it is overcharging so I have ordered a DT regulator and abandoned the idea of converting it to 12v. Then paint and rebuild the old engine. This looked like a good project though LINKY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ooo a Ducati multi strada very posh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
