Nonnie's Monster

[Mr Gazza]

Nice...Glad that you kept Nonnie's Termi stickers....Can you show a close up for the benefit of those who have not seen them....

Thanks one and all. I'm hopeful to have it all wrapped up in a week. FYI the "Cruscotto Forte" clocks are only available from Ducati Salzburg and when I last checked they only had one set left in silver, so if you are after a kit, then you best hurry. The company that produced them is no more sadly, so I got lucky with this set. If anyone wants me to post up pictures on here of the entire build then let me know, though most people are on FB and TBH, it's a lot easier for me to manage one platform than post on several forums.

[Mr Gazza]

Ow..!.. Waiting on the wrong platform...

Here's a video of the Cruscotto Forte unit in action. If enough people badger me I will post up a thread of the entire build with pictures.

Well the build is now complete! 88 days start to finish! From initially tearing the bike and engine down to every last nut and bolt, to this.

Was never completely sure it would be finished in time but now that it is, it's turned out so much better than I had originally envisaged and is genuinely better than new. Not a single steel fastener remains on the bike, save for those awkward to replace/replicate bolts, which were either changed for new ones or bright zinc plated. Lots of work went into this project and doubtless would never had been completed were it not for the infinite patience of my wife (Nonnie) and Carl Harrison Motorcycle Services in Harleston Norfolk (www.carlharrisonmotorcycles.co.uk), without whom things would have ground to a halt long ago.

Modifications included lots of paintwork, powder coating, epoxy primed and painted parts, new lights, tyres, pads, discs, filters, alarm, connectors, sound deadening, filler cap, indicators, instrument cluster, master cylinders, billet aluminium parts, chain, sprockets, seat upholstered, battery, key antenna, engine totally stripped, media blasted, painted - with news shells, bearings, seals, shims, gaskets, HEL brake lines, clutch and brake levers, grips, bar ends, exhaust clamps, system polished, all carbon re-lacquered...the list goes on. Anyhow I will let you be the judge as to the end result. Bike passed it's MOT on Friday and these images were taken last weekend just before it's inaugural ride. All ready for WDW2016 in three weeks time. Bring it on! If you want to see more detail on the project, please refer to the Facebook page, where you'll find many more photos and information OR click on any of these images to view the entire photo album

Time to resurrect this old thread, this is what Nonnie's bike looks like now after the post crash rebuild.

Very nice! You can post some more pics if you like!

Are those the Rizoma belt covers?

I really want some clear belt covers!

[Darren69]

Very nice! They could be Rizoma covers, they look nice too but jeez that exhaust clamp is big and fugly.
