For a few months now I've been working on another restoration, this time a v-twin. I've been taking pictures throughout the process so I figured I'd put them all together with a little write up. I haven't posted it anywhere yet, I was hoping you folks could take a look and let me know what you think. Is it too heavy on technical details? Or does it need more?

I'm not quite finished. I need about $300 worth of parts, on their way now. (a coolant hose, a reg/rec and a brake pedal)
Any feedback is appreciated.

Re: Ducati 996SPS resto blog
For people who have a solid good idea of how an engine works and the parts this is about on point. Nothing too complicated and explained in simple terms and pictures when it's different that what most are use to...the Ducati valve system. Good write up! Can't wait for the next section
Funny enough to this is why I have a love and hate for Ducati. They have great ideas and aren't afraid to try them out. Then again when those ideas mess up they mess up bad and cost you dearly

Re: Ducati 996SPS resto blog
Good read Shaun. I honestly wouldn't change a thing. Its technical enough without being overly technical. It flows well and is interesting.
