Nice work!

I noticed that you even keep track of the cost, which seems lika a bargain! Isn't it a large (huge) risk that you spoil the fun😳

Thanks Henrik! I do my best.......
And yes, the financials is probably the reason why I'm doing all this work. The bike will definitively be more worth than the sum of the pieces I bought.

It's been half a year now since I started the work. Today I started the engine for the first time. Follow it here if you like:

And this is how it looks for the moment:

Thanks a lot to all for the huge amount of very useful information on this board.

Ok, now we have pics......

RH fairing still missing, (but there's one near here😄 ) got a fairing v-piece and turn signals today.

It's a little mixed together, was a 1990 but now has later style seat and homemade license plate holder with Guzzi rear light. Also USD Showa fork, Brembo oro brakes, carbon fibre here and there......

Had the roll out today, about 50 miles 😄 😄 😄
Never had or rode a Duc before, was definitively worth the work to get this bike on the road!

Cheers
