Update Jan 2013.Headlight
Earlier in the project I designed and made my own headlight bracket:

However it needs some adjustments, which takes time
So in the meantime I have purchased some ready made brackets
I can get on with other things to make the bike roadworthy, then make a new bracket later

Not the right look though

Re: Ducati 750ss First time project

I prefer the Black brackets you've fitted but that's just me. You obviously have an overall look that your envisioning.

Update Jan 2013.Various
Stripped down the front calipers
![Image](http://img21.imageshack.us/img21/4743/p1263212.jpg)
Spraying the footrest hangers in the paint booth
![Image](http://img809.imageshack.us/img809/2568/p1263213.jpg)
Cut the frame at the end
Shaped some frame parts to make the "V"
![Image](http://img252.imageshack.us/img252/8577/p1283217.jpg)
You may remember I bought some indicators to fit in the end of the frame: Voila!
![Image](http://img831.imageshack.us/img831/1244/p1283219.jpg)
Will check what it looks like with the frame joined to the end rather than as a "V"

Re: Ducati 750ss First time project
Loving the paint booth. You just need a couple of hairdryers poking through the sides. Don't worry about extraction as fumes are good

25mm Steel tubing needed for cafe racer project
I need some tubing for the cafe racer project
The frame is 25mm which I am finding it hard to source
Anyone know where I can get a metre of the stuff?
