duc in the park.....
Hey fellow up-tonners I have been busy of late with several projects. Did a sporty mild custom and an SV650 the first part of the summer. Bought a Ducati Paso and have been getting goodies for it along with a bunch of Ducati hot-rod parts out of my parts stash. While the Paso body work was at my painter I got bored and bought a Duc Monster and completely redid it. My painter has been busy so I am still waiting to jump into the Paso. A customer came down to the shop with a Sportster Evo for sale last week. Being a little short on funds I was not interested at first. We talked a little longer and I could see he really wanted some cash so I made him a low ball ($1000) offer for his running sporty. I could not believe that he took it. At first I was just going to flip it but saw a cool BMW liner on the net. I thought...... Hell, I want one of those. So the sporty is going to be turned into a streamliner..... complete with a 3/4 Dustbin fairing. Yep, I am getting one of those huge pointy dustbins after I said that I hated them several months ago. In the next few weeks I will be using my Sportster stash for the fuel tank, rear fender, and exhaust header. I have been going nuts the last several days getting more goodies from ebay and will call Dutch at Air-tech this week to see about ordering an MV Agusta dustbin fairing from the 1950's. I have the build pretty much finalized in my mind and am even going to try to paint it myself. I will try and get some pics up this week..... ;D ;D ;D Until them...... here is my inspiration.
