L7 Ducati project

Finally! I'm actually almost done building this bike. It started of as a bare frame from one of the members of this. I think his name was juanitoboy or something. Anywho, I have a Lucky 7. The frame is painted red. White wheels are on it's way. I'm actually debating if I should go polished wheels or white. Maybe you guys could help me out with that. I have sams BB kit I think the stage 3 package that he offered, a jet pro pipe from ebay, x7 forks/trees, x7 wheel spacers, cat-eye handle bars, pro jet pipe and a walbro carb from randy @ ********parts4less. What else does this thing need? I also need your guy's help with chain tensioners in the rear. Right now I have cut washers but I don't think they'll do justice. Any ideas on what I could use. instead? Maybe something rectangular and thick? I'm also in a search for the brake bracket for the rear as well. It's pretty hard to find. :rolleyes::thumbsup:

    Thanks Nick. It's been fun so far. Gathering up all the parts for this model bike is a pain tho. I'm sure it'll all turn out well tho

    On my avatar L7 made a rear brake bracket and brace out of a Big Shed Hinge and shelf bracket for the frame brace. A four dollar Stanley Hinge, & $1 shelf brack, at the hardware store.

    JuanitoBoy93 ... wow, haven't heard that name in a couple of years. He lives across town from me.

    The ride's turning out really nice .. please keep this thread updated with more pictures as you continue the build.

    Yup that's the guy. I'll be sure to keep posting pictures.

    WOOT! Today I got the bike fired up and it turned out nice. Well to my ears it did. The Walbro carb is brand new and I didn't touch any of the screws besides the idle. I noticed that when I full throttle the bike it loses power and sometimes dies. Do I need to mess with the two high/low scews to tune it?

    Yes, tune the high-speed with the rear wheel off the ground (max rpms) and the low-speed just by feel! take a run, turn it, take a run, turn it, etc...

    Good job! I like how you raised the front up with the forks, it's really coming along nicely!

    Which one is the high and which one is the low? Is there another thread on this by the way?
