Thanks again for the comments guys. While it was a fun project, it's kind of strange in that it seems the finished product doesn't look "custom" enough to appeal to those guys, and it's not a stock anything so it doesn't really appeal to the resto crowd either. It was a bit overshadowed in it's first outing with all the factory prototypes and ex-racers around it at Ducstock! Oh well, I like it. I'm hoping to put some miles on it next season, we'll see how that goes.
As for how much I have into it... well, I lost track. Or more to the point stopped keeping track so I'm not really sure. I think it's about half what I put into my 750 GT rebuild. More than what I've seen any 160 Monza Jr sell for, anywhere, in any condition... :-[ More than what a new CBR250 would cost and less than what a 696 Monster sells for.
The project that may never see the light of day is being built up from leftover/cast off parts. I'm reluctant to put much money into it so it's slow going. The main reason it will likely never see the light of day though is I have one more single I'd really like to build, and some of the major parts I have on this (engine, forks, wheels) may go toward that instead.
Here's a sneak peak of what I'm dealing with. Like every other mock up I've shown, don't take it too literally, things are going to change before it's all said and done.
Yep, I'm building a hardtail Ducati. Maybe.
