Yes early Duc Monster. Here's one from my saved search. I've purchased several a LOT cheaper and nicer, being patient. They appear to be the very same as the MG oem's with the addition of a rubber covering. That thickness is how much higher your foot will ride. (2-3mm?) Reduces vibes on the feet. New from Duc is like $80 iirc. https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw=464.1.018.1a&_svsrch=1

I'll bet @Lucky Philhas

That looks Great! Is that in your bedroom? can't blame ya mate. Any explanation you're up for re installation I'll be watching.

That looks the real deal Swoosh. The orig valve covers were that "other" red, the Rosso Mandello red, and it tended to fade. PO probably didn't like it. I have a 'parted' RC and it had LM labeled side covers. The bubbles under the decal are from the inside and are common. good luck to friend!

obligatory Norton, Duc Lotsa nice builds, brews and food.

this was the nicest

Great to see you Tim @nobleswood Today. Great show, as all moto shows in winter are not many gootsie but here they are Cadre was there with one for sale, below. The one above was Enzo's too I think I know this guy's bike, from Indy

Yeah I was wrong about Extreme. I have 3 545's and they all say that, even the one that came in the metal jacket. Going by the pictures, mine all have a black case and have structural ribs, like on the website. Al's looks like the metal case in the pic. @al_roethlisbergeris your case plastic or metal?

IIRC the Extreme series comes in a steel case. It's the same battery inside the case and can be removed. It's held in with a silicone type goo. I bought one once thinking it might be "better" and like yours, was too big. I just popped it out.

ok one more of my faves. The voices, the harmonies.

^^^ Soul Train was my late night go to in the 70's. Loved it. no video but ... heard this on the radio today. Good days

I took mine (front and rear) to my local Ducati shop. Their chief tech was Ohlins schooled, as you might imagine with so many Duc models running the kit. My rear was 225 iirc. For suspension assurances, it was worth it to me to let a pro do it.

it's a great event and perfect venue. See you there!

Got my room last week. 202. I think that fills bldg 2

Indiana goes by the frame for vin. I know Wisconsin used to use engine numbers for awhile at least. I had to get an affidavit for an outa state purchase. When the bike was titled here they went with the frame #

Ok, I have been on the receiving end of criticism on this forum, many years ago, for the price I was asking for a V11 on CL. I haven't seen that member post for a very long time, but I've since tried to avoid "scrutinizing" someone else's sale. Even on ebay, cl, etc as they might be a current or future forum member. So I tend to keep my mouth shut even when obvious misrepresentations occur. But, when another currently active member shows interest in an "unknown" advertised bike, I think it behooves us to point out "curiosities" in a tactful way. Tact is not a strong point of mine but I do try. It might be a great buy. Hopefully whomever ends up as the owner will add it, and themselves, to "we few, we happy few."

first.. FRONT FORKS HAVE BEEN REBUILT WITH NEW SEALS AND MEASURED FORK OIL! then... THE BIKE HAS 3 BREMBO GOLD DISC BRAKES, OHLINS 41mm UPSIDE DOWN FORKS AND OHLINS MONOSHOCK WITH SEPERATE GAS RESERVOIR AND IS COMPLETLY ADJUSTABLE AS ARE THE FRONT FORKS. I don't see any Ohlins equipment. Added later? why no photo? If it has them that's half the value and would be a great deal. Metal parts have the 'stored outside' patina idk... Get current photos.

if you can't say anything good then don't say anything ... so I'm saying nothing I wish him the best

first I've heard of this. Please reference the thread. Was there a recall?

there is a failure prone run?? (other than that early recall business) CSP's is a 2002 yes?

mine is art till I pass, then it's jetsam

it is a nice bike. rewrite the ad no girl. no "how you'll feel" commentary never use the word 'mint' in any ad for a used motorcycle then post in our classifieds

now we're getting somewhere... I have spoken to people who contend riding a motorcycle is crazy owning a motorcycle is impractical what are you going to do with two? Why and what we ride is fascinating to me and@Icenian is lucky to have narrowed it down as far as he has.
