Plans
KING Coilovers 2.5 * 12 and Engince Cage



After looking over the engine Bay. its seems the previous owner did some interesting connections with the
Smog Pump
Vacuum Lines
and some general concerns, but i am looking going through everything slowly

This is a slow build which means its not as fast as some of the others
Bump Stops
Solo Radius Arms and Cut/Turns
Limit Straps

Deaver F53
KING 10" Shocks
New rear Shock Mount

-------------------------------------------BODY--------------------
Repaint.. Stock green/tank
Maybe.... Fiberglass Front Fenders Once suspension is completed
Prerunner Bumpers

6 Alcoas on 35's

Changed Out My Serpentine Belt.. and Tensioner
It started to Shread.. so i cut a small piece off that was shredding

When i drove it around the block it actually became worse::
The shred had wrapped itself around the alternator
O reailly gave me the wrong Belt because it was too loose
Replaced it with a Gates

Was I finish..... No
The tensioner needed replacing as it was very warn..

Now it runs fairy well

$83.00 :|

My 95 Bronco power steering pulley cracked and when I replaced the pulley the belt was just like that picture. I could not get the pulley to press any farther up the shaft and the pump had excessive fore and aft play in the shaft. The pump needed to be changed out on mine to get the belt aligned.

Funny it looks different in person that it does on the internet, "brother".

What kind of bike do you tow? Dirt bike?

That's very true.. I hope that's a good thing.

I used to tow my track bike 1198.. But sold it and I'm
Considering the purchase of a buggy or dirt bike this season.

A Duc huh? I wanted a 848 badly when they came out but after checking the maintenance costs I had to pass. I put 47K on my last bike.

The dealer said I needed some 10K computer to set the valves and 80% of the maintenance couldn't be done anywhere but the dealer.

It is a sexy bike though....

dealers always say that..
The newer ducs from 2010 + the maintenance intervals are about 15k miles.

Nothing rides like a DUCATI.

Meh, cages are only useful if you plan on rolling. Other than that they just slow you down due to their extra weight.

My thoughts exactly!! For me, I spent that weight addition in rock sliders since that's where I was more likely to do the damage.
