Those are nice looking aluminum parts there, Steve. The electrical box is especially neat if you look real close. I am getting confused about "the yellow bike" though. MikeV

Thanks for the compliments, guys.. Hey, Dick - Palmer gets the credit for the seat - I agree; really nice design.. Mike - The stand (box) is made from 2x4s cut to 11 1/2" lengths and screwed together so the inner dimension are 8 1/2 x 12" and is really handy for stabilizing the motor.. MikeV - That's OK - I'm confused too. Seriously, the Yellow Bike III is being built for a customer in Australia (Basil) who contacted me back in the fall. He's flying over in July to take delivery and ride it at the Ducati Owners' Club event at Mosport - and then we'll ship it to OZ. My friend Bar Hodgson has Yellow Bike I and will have it at Mosport too and Palmer has YBII (and might join us as well in July). Remarkably, I don't have a Yellow Bike of my own; a problem I hope to address in 2014. I'm really curious to see how this one comes out and what the motor Palmer's putting together gives us. Yellow Bike I & II at Grattan.. http://loudbike.blogs.com/loud_bike/2011/08/1988_ducati_750_f1.html

Spent yesterday at the dyno with the DB1 racer and the Yellow Bike III - and Palmer knocked the ball out of the park with a best pull of 103 (that's right, 103) RWHP and 67ftlbs torque. And it's a really happy motor that sounds outrageously nice. Air/fuel was just about perfect at top revs with a 270 main... This thing will be a blast to ride - Yellow Bike I was seriously quick with 92RWHP and 62ftlbs torque, so this one will be even more fun. Congratulations, Palmer! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i8sDPC5bvg8&feature=youtu.beNow I can strip the bike and send the fork lowers, caliper adapters, clip-ons, triples, rear sets, rear caliper mount and fairing brackets out for polishing and paint the battery and breather boxes while I wait for the bodywork. The fasteners should start arriving next week. The Bimota DB1 made 93RWHP (790 kit & converted heads with Monty cams), but that's another story..
