Sorry my auto correct has injected "assemble" in place of "assembly". And RD16 its nice to see you back. When I saw you post and the verbiage "pull the pin on a grenade" I had hopes but alas, it was in reference to something motorcycle related. Carry on.

...must admit...thats funny

..i trust you're not feeling neglected, but when you missed the mark on our topic i dismissed your posts as being a continual "build" idea that i find more entertaining than much else...

Completely understand. You perhaps need to come out to Newport and get some sun. We could build some bikes. My guest of course. The cold and sub Vitamin D levels can leave on a bit cranky. I do like and have flown quite a bit in the Adirondack area. Summer only.

..lol...i may take you up on it....but i'd rather ride than build, so as long as you're near a dealership i'll be happy :)
 
As said on other means I'm not trying to knock either your building skills or any of the other people involved. My angle was more the wider dev capabilities that Ducati has as a factory; test riders and the experience on the race track rather than the construction skills. I'm quite certain your engineering skills are sky high (pun intended :) ) above anyone working at the factory and after hearing details of your history no doubt the majority of people in the company full stop. All that said any bike has to be developed to the particular rider regardless of where it's come from to get the best out of it so perhaps your's is just better full stop? But will you give me a warranty if I buy one?? ;)

Anyhow looking forward to seeing and hearing it running.
 
Ducati will happily give you a warranty...but if you use the bike as advertised in every photo (track)...the engine may blow...and they may deny said warranty.
 
I did didn't I. Ok well folks RD16RR is coming to visit. We're going to go to Califfornia Speedway and he is going to teach me how to ride the bike and I'm going to show him how to build one. We'll take pics.

Here is the little gem. If your f'd in the head like me, get one. They are pretty damn cool. I did need to nod it slightly to work with the LT rear sets. Also made the plunger pin assembly from magnesium and Ti with a 7075 rod end. I know, Not as nice as nice as the stock SL but sometimes you just have to slum it.

Been eyeing that little beauty off for awhile now, there were also a couple of others by Brembo, but i gather this is the latest and only one now.....bet there was a huge amount of difference in rear braking capabilities :)
