.. just had a very satisfying hour putting new front brake lines, reservoir and bits and pieces on the 916. Still a lot to do including polishing the pipes, changing all the bolts to stainless, sorting out all the wiring and clutch plumbing, etc. Loving every minute

Anyone else fettling at the moment? If so, how yer getting on?

Yes...finally got round to repairing the damage from caddy in August.
Have taken all the stickers off. Sanded and repaired the fairing...replaced the velcro fastening from the number plate and bolted it on.
I was hoping that it would be done for the meet tomorrow but now he has his clothes off there's so much more that I want to do to the 750...bolts need replacing, bits need sanding...Sigh
He just looks so naked in the kitchen...bless him

Kitchen? Kitchen? I'm not allowed to have my garage within a mile of the house Complete Luxury ... I used to dream about fettling in a kitchen

yep doing quite a few things this winter as you can see.
frame and swingarm to be painted Black, suspension overhaul. well when i pick up the new ohlins front forks.
and a few other bits and peices i havent thought of yet.

Loving it though. these bikes are so well designed for taking apart.
Hope i can remember how to put it back together.

If I want to work on my bike, I have to get up before I go to bed, crawl over broken glass for FIFTEEN miles, eat a lump of coal for breakfast .....

Currently stripping and lining a tank I got cheap so I can then paint it black. Then comes the classy Ducati font in the same style as a '74 750SS. And finally finding a single seat that looks "right".

I changed the number plate for the MOT and then afterwards i put the old one back on. Oh and i hooked it up to the optimate. God i'm worn out now.
