Blimey, it's nearly a year since Her Holyness blew up on a Pan Euro!! Nice!
Hello everyone in UKMOC land!!! I'm still alive, just some issues have overtaken the project. Fingers crossed after the 10th I can start getting the old beast back into a bike shaped piece of art...... A sneak preview of the work done before my dad passed away last month; Engine has been rebuilt, everything rebuilt, adjusted and put back in one case. It only took 4 months of quiet work time to get the 8 engine studs out.... Why oh why did Ducati choose to use something not cheese on the bits that break! New belts, new piston rings, valves all adjusted. Forks now have nice shiney new fork legs! They just need fitting. New air box fitted, carbs cleaned out and are now shiney. New Pirelli boots fitted and brakes sorted. Petrol leak being sorted at the moment. Just a shame there is a ZRX in the way of Her Holyness, otherwise should would've been ready for the Monster weekender. Last edited by banditloon; 05-05-2010 at 09:40 PM.. |

Well, 14 months now since the rear cylinder head studs snapped, and still the end is not yet in sight.
But I have bought some shiny carbon things.... And as I was on my way home, I decided to use some of my visiting rights at the workshop..... So I may as well look forward to next summer, seeing as summer 2010 was last week |

From boxes to Box Hill...
Finally, after nearly 14 months of the Monster sitting around in a warehouse in assorted A4 paperboxes and then being moved to a 'proper' work shop, the Monster is alive and kicking.
So far she has had; a full service, new tyres, front brake overhaul, new fork tubes, petrol leak fixed, and not forgetting replacing all the cylinder head studs. The old beast passed the MOT at the second attempt. First attempt was aborted due to two missing bolts from the suspension hoop (opps)...... It's nice to have her back working, and after getting her back to the warehouse, she was pulled apart, rear light was swapped for an LED unit, new tea tray fitted and carbon clutch cover fitted. I've just ordered some new frame plugs, Oberon indicators and now just looking at trying to get a new screen... Finally, back at Box Hill in the sunshine!! Just need to get the wheels sorted, polished or powder coated black again... hmmmmmm |
