Pocher 1/4 ducati panigale

[kpnuts]

Hi all I've done one of the handles (the decals are tiny even with my magnifying lights they were difficult to place) 


I've added the cable and wiring that's missing.

Awesome work. Very realistic and detailed.

[kpnuts]

Hi all I've finished one handle.

Hi all well this has been on and off half a dozen times as I couldn't find a way for the clutch reservoir horizontal then I checked some ref pics to find it's at an angle on the real bike. I was getting so stressed trying to get it level and horizontal, I'd have been pulling my hair out if I had some.

Just can't beat research at times. Looking real good.

Hi all it’s been a while but here is the next update (what a pita this was) I snapped the screw in the steering head clamp so had to drill it out then re tap and guess what I cross threaded it and snapped it off again (don’t know how it’s still in one piece) on another forum a member called silver 911 has some PE radiator grill made to upgrade the radiator he kindly gave me the email of the company that produced them for him and gave me permission to use his fins so I’ve ordered them (I feel a bit guilty as they cost him50 quid )( costs for creating the pattern I suppose) only costing me 21.60, anyway it’s a vast improvement over the kit supplied part.

Looks like she is almost ready to ride.

Hi all I was thinking this is getting very heavy and the exhaust is getting loose from the weight of it so I’ve temporarily added the forks to get the weight off the exhaust. I’ve finally finished the handle bars (well apart from the wiring)

[fordrodnkustom]

Looking good KP. I like the stand you have there for it. Kit part?

[kpnuts]

Thanks yes mate it came with the kit.

[kpnuts]

Hi all this is how Pocher would have you build the rad


Of course I could just fill the holes and weather it and it would be a whole lot better
But with Ron Clark’s PE it will be a whole league better I just can’t wait for them to get here.

[kpnuts]

Hi all well it arrived, I’m so excited


thanks to Ron

sooo much better


added the missing wiring for the exhaust valve


and added the missing wiring for the radiator fan

[fordrodnkustom]

Exceptional improvements there KP! The rad upgrade really made a big difference to realism of the part. Looking like a 1:1!

[kpnuts]

Hi all well I’ve added a few more missing wires and added the cable for the exhaust valve (fuse wire)weathered the rad a bit I’d like to say nearing the end now but no still a long way to go

[kpnuts]

Hi all here is the next update I made a bit of an oops in duplicating the wiring of the rad fan which I had done the other end further back in the build will have to watch that in the future (especially as this build is using all my built up stocks of wire)




Got the front wheel on (man this thing is enormous)
