The 999 is starting its transformation.

We'll the 999 is starting its transformation from a yellow hornet to a Breil replica.
I'll post pictures as soon as something fun starts happening!

I do have to say, I am a little dissapointed at Ducati for the lack of tool-less fairing removal on this bike. And what kind of Race Derrived Company makes you remove the front wheel to get the fender off??

Is this the look you are going after? If so, that will be one fly bike. good luck.

It is an awesome look, but someone beat you to it. Who cares though. I say go for it. Better looking than any Fila rep.

Like this one???

Exactly. The sticker kit is in route. The bodywork goes to the painters on Monday. The wheels, subframe, and various other parts go out for powder on Wednesday. The full exhaust will be here on Monday. Shouldn't be to long untill she's ready to roll. Unfortunately the only thing I am not doing is the Red frame. I do not have the drive to take her down that far, plus I like the look without the red frame.
Now if I could only find the exhaust shield/heel guard thats on that Breil bike!

No one has any comments about the fender? haha

The bodywork gets to the painter on Tuesday. The wheels, subframe and various other bits go to the powder coater on Thursday. The exhaust goes on Wednesday. Starting to make progress!
This is fun!
Thats my wonderful "Garage Helper/wife" posin for a smile.

shes hot. i want that ass...

oh, bike's cool too.

lmao
be nice now....

Your wife looks thrilled to be in the garage helping.

She likes to keep me company. Makes a great gopher! The only reason she is thrilled though is because she is spending my money buying herself stuff on Ebay!

intersting how the Marchesini sticker is pointing to to the wrong direction on this ebay bike

He obviously had to buy new stickers to install after the wheels were powder coated. He must have put them on opposite sides.

she is cute seems very nice

are you newly married????? cause you must be saying that she is spending YOUR money that is not the talk of married folk

It was just a spin on words. Were a few years into it. Thats still new though.

Lucky Bastard!

Made a little more progress.....
Subframe is off and at powder coater (Satin black).
Rearsets, linkages, kickstand off to powder coaters (Satin black).
Powercommander installed.
Cycle Cat pressure plate, spring cups and stainless springs installed.
Emissions removed.
The hard part of the exhaust is on.
Rear sprocket installed (38T Vortex ALU)
Evoluzione frame plugs installed

I got a very large free bag of stainless fasteners for everything from work!

Slow progress.
Exhaust is wrapped. Rearsets and kickstand are now powder coated. Waiting for the new pegs to show up though. I also made a custom heal guard/exhaust shield for the right side. I think it turned out OK.
The old solid clutch cover got abused by the dremel and a can of clearcoat!

Holy sh!t man ...did you win the lottery !!!! Looking good.
