I agree and should have known better. I apologize and will start my own log tonight. I'm halfway thru the build and have a lot to show.

No problem at all, Mark. No apology necessary. See you in your own.

Late to the party on this but just started this amazing build and never done scratch build or modifications before so grateful for all the knowledge that has and is being shared via this thread, thanks Peter V…love your work on the exhaust so have started that and lots more to do…for now enjoy this pic of a pocher F40 I bought off eBay….quite old so some of the plastic pieces have become out of line due to storage

Unlike the first model in 2016, which had black mufflers with chrome covers, they are applied to this one of titanium with carbon: Akrapovic's.

I closed the screw holes in the exhaust pipes. The just don't quite have the right color. The pair you see now will soon be covered.
Paul Koo recommends that all holes and cracks be closed and then sanded, plastered and sprayed in its entirety. But that went too far for me now.

During the build of the Anniversario, Pocher came up with the 3rd version: the Final Edition. At that time, my opinion was not to buy this one. However, it kept floating around in the back of my mind. And a few months ago I went looking for action. But it was no longer available in stores. It was on various buying sites, but for very expensive prices. I saw them come up to $2499.00 and € 1599,00 ...... :oops: No way!

Until I was looking again about a month ago and came across one for less than the new price.:) Scam? With a buyer's guarantee I bid anyway and ....... received. As show in "Purchased shortly ago ...':
001 Start.jpg
A limited series was made and mine has number 26-362. But the limited number ......... on one site is mentioned 555, but nowhere officially to find.

Last week, when some deck planks for the Balder had to dry, I started building. Here too I bought the hardware from Paul Koo. I also came across the manual for the Transkit from Autograph who released a very extensive hardware kit for the Ducati for €1550.00 ......:oops: No way! But I'm going to take some things to detail from it to build on my Final Edition.

As an attentive reader could have seen, the title of this thread has been changed.;) I'm not going to open a whole new build log but will show the differences or extras of this Final Edition here.

The beginning and getting everything in order again and opening:
002 Start.jpg
My old manual with notes, the manuals for the extras on the screen, all the tools ........ another nice chaos that needs to find its place.:)

The first thing I came across was making hose spring clamps.
Autograph will not approve of me posting from their manual here. I also make them slightly differently: from the same 0.4 mm flower binding wire. That is dark grey iron wire:
003 Clamp.jpg
1: bend a piece of wire in half so that you get loop 'A' with the ends '1' and '2';
2: bend end '1' three-quarters of a way around to over loop 'A';
3: do the same for end '2', but the other way around;
4: grab it at loop 'A' and bend both loops 'B' and 'C' upwards towards each other. The ends of '1' and '2' will fall within the loop 'A';
5: slide loops 'B' and 'C' over the end of a drill bit of the desired thickness and pull both ends 'A' and '1'+'2' tightly around the drill bit;
6: squeeze loop 'A' and loops 'B'+'C' towards each other.
Then you get this result:
004 Clamp.jpg
And is functional as a spring clamp indeed ..... :)
Also seen here, together with the 'banjo plug' that I already described in post #4:
005 Clamp.jpg
Only now I used 0.85 mm solder wire and heat shrink tubing.
I think I allow myself one day part of building of the Duc. So, not often a up-date here. The Blader is priority. :)
PS: I now see that I have forgotten to flatten the ball a bit. It’s now out of scale. Will do ……..
Regards, Peter
