Building a Ducati today.

So, anyone in the Hudson area wanna build a Monster with me this afternoon? Experience not needed, except for your ability to open a beer. Frame is on the eagle lift and my goal is to have it rolling off tomorrow ready for gas.

Let's see how it turned out!

I'm still goin! But I can't find the dang wheel spacers for the front wheel. Fahq!!

**Kurlon** · 02-12-12, 09:46 PM

Is it just me or is one of the upper frame tubes bent on one side?

**jbmass** · 02-12-12, 10:19 PM

Where?

**Chippertheripper** · 02-13-12, 05:17 AM

The right side of the shock mount? I can only see it in the frame pic.

same here. looks be slightly bent just in front of it on the upper bar. probably just an optical illusion.

Both frame rails bend in toward the middle right there. It is normal.

I tip my hat to you, it must be nice to have that type of talent to strip down a bike and rebuild it....I have to pay people like you to do all my work short of basic maintence.

**jbmass** · 02-13-12, 09:39 AM

Just buy a manual and dive in! I wasn't born mechanically inclined, just learned it over the years!

**jbmass** · 02-13-12, 09:40 AM

And yes, both frame rails bend in like that, it's normal.

**SRTie4k** · 02-13-12, 09:43 AM

Wow, nice. I lose all sorts of stuff just taking my wheels off, I can't imagine rebuilding a bike from the ground up.

**mace** · 02-13-12, 09:57 AM

any progress justin? find those wheel spacers?

**jbmass** · 02-13-12, 10:10 AM

I think they're in the basement with 916 parts, might have somehow made migration there. I'll check when I get hone. Wiring is almost done, hopefully I'll have time this afternoon.

**jbmass** · 02-13-12, 08:28 PM

Done for now, need to order a battery, find a headlight ,and those fugitive front wheel spacers!

**Rambunctous** · 02-13-12, 09:06 PM

All done except for a battery, headlight(don't have one!) ,and those fugitive front wheel spacers
I always zip tie them to the spoke/wheel

**jbmass** · 02-13-12, 09:20 PM

I'll remember to do that from now on.
