My old Ducati Bobber, and my new Ducati Chopper project...

This is bike building. Fascinating and eager to see the build. Love the look of that leaf spring front end.

Thanks! Plates for a rigid rear mock-up should be done @ the water jet on Friday. Still no rear wheel, so it may be a bit before more photos.

Picked up the hard tail plates today. These are for mock up & wheel fitment. I’ll end up using something different. But, they’re an inexpensive way for me to fit it all together first. This whole thing may not work...

Mocked up on a spare 695 engine I have. I’ll get the engine onto a stand this weekend. Rear axle is due soon. Wheel is being ordered today. 16x3 HD to fit an FXST/XL. Did some digging and those have hubs with ~6 5/16” width. That’ll for sure go behind the motor...
