Fitted the the engine I quite liked the look of the clutch case:



With all the welding finished it was time for a total strip down:



I shortened the standard front mud guard as well and it looks much better and I removed all the seams to give it a cleaner look:



I sent all the bits off to paint and powder to freshen them up:







The engine covers were treated to a bit of gold:

I made another clutch case with a spare I had, this one was also done by hand files and a drill:



It was down to getting the engine together over a few weeks with some other custom parts. Allow cam wheels, lightened primary gears and flywheel:









The flywheel now weighs 1.3kg instead of 5kg.

I managed to get some Ducati Performance hi-comp pistons for a good price:





It all started to come together quite nicely:







With a bit of modification the alloy intake fitted:

Stainless steel headers:







The electrics were fitted under the seat mounted on a carbon sheet:

Loving the build thread, giving me some inspiration for the winter months!

Keep the thread updated with more pics

Love a good picture heavy build thread like this. Will look great once done. I would go the whole hog though and clean up some of the ally parts, bolts/nuts and other fasteners seeing as you've done such a nice job on the engine and frame.

All getting done very slowly. It will all be top draw by the time it is finished (hopefully).

It has been a while since I have fettled the project Monster. MADASL moved to Wales and took my bikes with him, so today I finally went over to work on one of them.

The rear brake hose was replaced with a stealth braided version.

I finally fitted the radiator, without the fan. Once the work was done it was back into the conservatory as a talking piece.

Just the final electrics, fluids and some other bits to finish it off. It might be done for next year!!
