bought tyres today, Heidenau thingies, German make so should be good. fitted them tonight and the front was a bitch to fit and my fingers were knackered, the rear was dead easy and it just popped on! Now I can weld on the front mudguard brackets and work out how to fab a tie bracket for the TLS brake.

lets be careful out there...

could be a duff battery too, check connections as DDT says

no way man, that's cool

it became tedious setting it up. the engine is like a hair-dryer, useful but not interesting. cycle parts are just panels that you screw together on a tiddly frame. everything's plastic

have fun. Are you tuning the variator on it?

The "old stuff in colour" works because of our delusion that the past was more different than we think. Yet if you could speak to someone in 1940, their feet would have the same aches and their noses the same itches. click on picture for more

If you have a leaf blower, use that to dry the bike. I have a two stroke beast and have fun blasting the wet away

I did a scoot and enjoyed getting to grips with the CVT and its foibles. wouldn't do one again though been there done that sort of thing.Having said that, they are quite handy for nipping to the shops. Mike and I tried to blag the Tyco paddock bikes for a tootal along but got knocked back.

very old thread topic closed

TBH I think the way the ducati diavel mount the rear No plate is quite cool for this bike
