DuCafe update

Now making the first attempt to rebuild the bike

Started by putting engine on blocks and getting frame on



Once secured I have strapped it up to the scaffold pole that is fitted to the walls in my office

Then its a case of adding bits



And more bits









Found that one of the fork legs is longer than the other so a strip and rebuild is on the cards

There is a guy on ebay selling skf front wheel bearings for £6 posted

The steering head bearings cost £31 each from Ducati

Learnt my lesson there

The tank is back at the powdercoaters to be stripped and re-coated

Whilst it has the coat stripped off I will be getting a few areas leaded as its not quite perfect

One thing I have learnt is that even when things are bagged and labelled
things still don't fit
