	It is always funny to see a bike with no headlight and no fairing, everything looks wrong.		It is always funny to see a bike with no headlight and no fairing, everything looks wrong.

	Next up I have to figure out the wheel situation. Running a 999 rear in the ST / S4 swingarm is going to be challenging and at the the same time running a wire wheel in the ~~1098~~ fork has brake clearance challenges. More to come there in the coming weeks. My pref is wire but they are heavier. I don't know..		Next up I have to figure out the wheel situation.

			The second you bolt the frame back onto a Ducati motor, you are hyped for the second you get to ride the bike. At this point you know you are headed toward that day, a turning point if you will in the process of a rebuild. This is when parts start going back on. It took weeks, months and years to get to this point.

			The downside is that every day you work on the bike is another day you ugly it up with all the required shit the bikes needs to run. Intake, airbox, radiator, wiring harness. It all adds up but these things are needed!

			During the worst winter in 50 years in Rhode Island, it took weeks to get a window of time where I could paint where the temp was warm enough for the paint. Primer is laid down first, followed by color.

Remember I had to replace the side cover from the previous chain loss, this motor was all silver (as all were in this year) but the cover I used was from an earlier motor which still used the green color.
