Very true, Nick, most particularly the electric screwdriver which gets screws started and run in much easier than an L-shaped hex key. I'd add that it's worth taking the time to realign the holes where otherwise they only fit by force. OK, it isn't a quick job but removing/replacing the bodywork never raises my blood pressure.

Neked Duke engines should all be fitted with the Pantah-type belt covers in my opinion. Yes, they may weigh a bit more and look somewhat phallic, but those covers off a lawn-mower are gruesome, and really spoil a neat bike. There was a guy in Europe who was making Pantah covers to fit the bigger motors, some while ago.

Colin, here's what to do with that '98 sitting in the barn.
Monster frame and ST were the same for some years.

I have volunteers to get gifts for the children but I like to also have small gifts for the caregivers through drawings. I have some gifts but I need Christmas bags to put them in( not a good wrapper) lol. If you have some that you are willing to part with I will be glad to pick them up within the nearby areas

I also am looking for some artificial poinsettias plants for table decorations.

Thank you .

I find the juxtaposition of the photo, the phrase "slightly soiled" and a quote about "mated surfaces" and where fluids belong slightly disturbing...

RE: [DucatiST] fuel pump er sumtin

 

Swap the relays under the seat check battery ground and negative by oil sending switch, I think.

Subject: [DucatiST] fuel pump er sumtin

 

 

The bike has a new quirk, started like a miss and I replaced a plug and she ran sort of fine the last 70 miles or so of the trip over fathers day weekend. Not real sure the plug fouled but she would run on 1 cylinder a bit then 2 then back to 1 then 2 then back....you get the drift.
Got home and a couple of days later I replaced both plugs and started to crank it up and it wouldn't crank up. Thought I had a fuel problem so I pulled the tank and changed the filter, the old one wasn't clogged however, put it back together and she ran great that day to make a 40 mile or so paint run. Next day she started running a bit rough after I'd run her a while.
Then yesterday, could get it to crank, put my ear to the tank as I turned the key and didn't hear the pump at first then heard the pump and she fired up and ran great over to a friends garage, then got to running rough on the way home and in my garage it wouldn't hold 4k revs smoothly.

Does this sound like a pump to y'all, I wish I had a remote fuel pressure gauge cause I checked it the night before all this and it held a steady 47lbs. But, it could go funky once it's ridden and warmed good.

[MotorCityFreecycle] Railroad ties

 

I need about 10 or 12 railroad ties to finish off my landscaping. We're on a fixed income, so we're looking for creative (read free) ways to do this. Prefer something in 8ft lengths, ready to be picked-up. I can get a trailer and pick-up when it's convenient for you.
