mikes 45..fender, plate mount

i added this rib over where i had previously cut and shut the fender......and i left plenty of meat so i can get it the right shape.....

...in the name of keeping the man happy...no more low mounted plates

mike made a mini led strip that will go under the section i made, to illuminate the plate......ill still mount the tail light/brakelight on the left side / low.....

get into it son....

spent the last couple of days on mikes wl....finally got the seating arrangements organised....

you cant really see from these shots...i cant get lower to take a shot cause of other shit in the way but the line came out exactly as i wanted....

im going to put a rib down that fender after the pad to connect it visually with the new number plate bracket..

no one kicks a big twin like max s

 beautiful suspension bridge in the kangaroo valley.

then today i rode home sort of a long way ive never ridden before...hard going cause the wind was totally extreme and i was freezing my nuts off...fuck it was cold....good times, but sometimes i ask myself the question.....(do i really need to be this cold?)

damos centre stand....

was cracked and shitty.....i asked steve (all things ducati)...he said its a common problem and the best repair jobs have a strengthening solid insert (interference fit)....so here it is....lets see how it road tests before powdercoating...

three weeks holiday.....

....so lets see if i can finish mikes wl, cut the lawns, fix broken fences, build some bit of the house, and ride a couple of good rides in the freezing cold.
