i have no left over parts
i couldn't figure out how some of the wires were routed so i made up my own path and just made sure nothing was pinched anywhere.
i realized that i need some stuff thanks to my lay down in oct

• right rear-set with brake pedal
• lower header pipe (the bracket that holds it in place got bent
• left side control unit

anyone have any of these? i'm willing to plan your next party or pay if needed. ;D

"put the duc back together" as in, put all the parts back together in a pile in the corner?
Or, kick the tires, light the fires back together?

HOORAY! [thumbsup]


But like Mdriver said....is it back together and running?

 

[KnightofNew]

i don't want to jinx myself, so i'll just say the battery is being charged while i'm at work today.

when i get the replacement parts it will be rideable again.

well, technically it's rideable now. everything works, it jsut doesn't all fit together correctly and the brake light stays on because of the rearset and brake pedal getting bent a bit.

 

[dukeoddy]

Good to hear. I will keep my ears out for any spare parts.

 

[DesmosDromos]

Travis, that's great news! [clap]

Sorry, but I don't have any of the parts you're looking for, though. Good luck!

I feel better knowing it will be back on the street soon.

Travis, can any of the bent parts be salvaged (i.e. straightened up)? I've got a pretty comprehensive tool array and some big f'n hammers.....

yeah Trav, you should try that first, it may work just fine and cost....a couple of six-packs or something ;D

f'n parts are costly, the bent gear lever I replaced on my old duc cost me like ....$ 60.00 and rear set will prolly run ya maybe

$ 200.00

good luck, happy to hear duc is brought to life again [thumbsup]

idk if they can be salvaged. honestly i'm not entirely sure where to bend the exhaust back to, and if the rearset is bent thent hat will be a PITA to try to put back in place...plus that is an area that i don't want to weaken the metal.
the brake pedal can prob be bent back if i can get the dam thing off. :

i will welcom any help i can get with beer or food. sometimes both. [thumbsup]

Don't worry too much about the exhaust, I fully expect to be able to donate mine shorty enough.

I kinda knew it,

 

[Mdriver]

NICE [clap] [clap]

So what was the culprit?

I don't have any of the parts you many need, but I wish I did.
Cause then I could taunt you with them. >

apparently the barrel has a bit of a lip on it. the fresh o-rings push it up a bit further.

i was told that the gap is normal for a bit esp since you cna't see through the actual cylinder.
