not got much done due to stupid shifts at work

but been drilling out the brake discs.....nearly done!....i actually find this quite theraputic lol

going to be facing a problem soon............my airbrush has gone u/s and i cant afford a replacement at the moment..........and i dont think i have any rattle cans the right colours.......so this might grind to a stop for a short while quite soon

Sorry all these psychedelic 900ss are just not working for me... Black. Deep shiny sinful black is the only way to go If you ask me.And you can get black in a rattle can :tongue-out:

now im at a point where i can start putting bits together!

spent the last week painting and applying decals............i think red is going to work with the gold decals

the decals have been a bugger, not gone down as nice as i would have liked dispite copious amounts of microsol

the motor is going together

and i got it in the frame tonight

I think the red looks brilliant Paul , whenever I think of Ducati thats the colour that always springs to mind , like Ferrari always conjures up scarlet , lambo -yellow , Alfa Romeo -rosso corse (darker red) , jaguar- BRG etc. Excuse me for being a bit thick but why are there 3 brake discs , hasnt the bike only got 2? cheers tony
