Why did you go away from the mono shock?

very nice, wood scaffolding can be very effective

Why would you title a video "Do not build a sound insulated enclosure for your noisy air compressor!" while teach people to build an enclosure? I really don't get you people you have to lie to get people to watch your videos.

Herlig serie du har her. Jeg kjører også med softbags, og mitt tips til deg er siden du kjører en fet klassiker så hadde jeg lagt på et lag med tape eller en form for 3m film der veskene dine ligger mot sidedekslene dine. Det kommer sand og støv mellom baggene og dekslene og det fungerer fint som sandpapir når veskene vibrerer og rister under kjøring. Da slipper du at dekaler ol blir ødelagt.

Great idea, but could you have added an L-bracket to the side of the house on each side to attach the scaffolding to? It's a more permanent solution that could be used as often as you need to get back up there again.

From my experience, there is not many problems with ethanol in gasoline on old carburator bikes if you adjust them, here in Brazil you can't buy any gasoline under 20% of ethanol mixture with the max being 32% now.

The toy (Airbrush type) Compressor IS quieter (mine is) but also basically useless. As it generates insufficient Flows for most ALL airtools. All it really does is waste Shop space, A large part of Compressor noise is from their Air intakes. Fit a decent muffler for Significant noise reduction.

Great video, beautiful country, thanks for sharing 👍

I can't believe it's been 2 years😮

Always have with you zip ties they save the day

You clearly gave the bike a great shakedown test. It will soon be better prepared than when it was new.

Looked up hard bags and couldn't find anything specific to Cagiva. The generic ones were a bit pricey, though. Sidenote: I wasn't aware CircleK had stations outside of North America. Hauled fuel 25 years and CircleK was our biggest customer.

Excellent design and nice lines. Pardon me if you mentioned it already in the video, but what model Honda fuel tank did you use? I love that one.

Lovely journey! The task lists, the little working table, the clean garage. Sure you are not a surgeon? 😊 Quietly hoping your task list never run out, because I'm enjoying your videos🤩 I've spent many years driving this area, fixing my own bike, the same bike for 16 years now. Witch means I've had my own task lists along the way. Very relatable except the clean garage😁

Every video is better and better Great content dude

25 tasks to do 😂. Stop torturing yourself and ride with Thomas

Enda en fin video. Mer av disse 👍👍 Fyller du 95 E10 bensin, merker du evt noe forskjell på sykkelen din? Hører folk klager på at syklene sine går dårlig men jeg merker lite/ikke noe på min gamle xl600 men den har forgasser så mulig det er være om man har innsprøytning.

Anyway Ki what I can tell u and I heard from my fellows italian elefant owners....this bikes had the same problems (for example big vibrations) even when they were new. Also bing carburators are not so good. They works but I know a lot of owner replaced em with "dall'orto". But mostly ducati is famous to have some oil exudation. Me I fixed problem in ducati opening the engine and putting new Ducati silicone gasket, the black one. I spent a lot of money 😢😢 but now everything is dry. Anyway our elefant are most beautiful ❤❤

Uh i replaced 2 times rev counter, first was broken the second was good but I broke the cable after 40 km. Now I found one but that instruments are a little old plus the light system of speedometer and rev counter are vintage they looks like christmas tree lights.. Some light doesnt works anymore. So I found new one kit but......i have not so much hope in it. So am curious about the solution u will find 😊

Hi Ki yes also mine with 1 liter she runs 15 km.

Great video. Love the honesty of your trip and of your repair 'journey' - as usual! Extra thumbs-up for Sivert! <3

Great job! With a “project bike” like this, there is always something to be mended, improved or sorted out. I have indicators similar to the ones you used. They are very weak, as the rubber ‘mounting’ of the indicator is just glued on to the threaded tube. Mine came adrift like yours did. They really need a nut on each side but on mine the thread was one I couldn’t easily get nuts for, and I didn’t have the right sized tap to make a nut. I ended up making a spacer/washer from Acetal (“Delrin”?) and bonded it onto the threaded tube with 2-part epoxy metal glue to take the pressure of the nut on the inside (of the fairing in your case). They now work fine. Keep the old ones as spares - you may well need them one day! Enjoying your videos, thank you. Les in UK 🇬🇧

I do hope it was your aunts 90th's, not you ants... 😉

Breakdowns are just a motorcycles way of telling you to stop and enjoy the scenery 😁

Great man! Tons of satisfaction riding the bike fixed by yourself!

I strongly advise you wire your USB sockets to a switched power supply. The things are never waterproof and will certainly drain your battery overnight if left out in the rain.

I bet that all your gps, tablett, warm jacket were too much for what your regulator could generate and regulator could handle. This generation of fant was not designed for so much voltage output. Hope I am wrong this said and that you had fun during your trip

Close to the passenger flip-up foot rests you can loop the straps (of the bags) through the aloy grid... of the same foot rests.😉

Temporary, the best kind of permanent, i once saw an "temporary" fix made in the 19th century in a house here in my city.

Hi. Great video. Have to see video from your trip. That spoiler alert did make me very very curious😂 What type and brand did you choose on times? I have a Honda XL600 I am looking for a good allround tire on. Great wishes from Innlandet Norway

When you fit bags the sitting clearance doesn't matter, it's when you are standing and have to move right back and most important when you have to quickly put yout foot on the ground in say a rut at speed, unless of course you are just road riding.

Look forward to hearing more about the trip!!

The accent 😆 Too bears right hair, "ordering two beers to the table" 🤓 No offense meant!

I remember this bike it was the 1st multistrada efford Ducati motor on an on off bike, thing is that these problem dont have to do with each age...bike was letting you down since day 1

The manual looks really sweet! Well done ! Maybe put some of the Service/Workshop manual stuff in there as well. I have a full color digital copy of the parts manual in the libretto format as well. It is for the monofaro ('86) but perhaps some of it can make it into your copy. Let me know if you need it. I also have some specs/measurements for the original Hepco & Becker luggage racks but you can look on their website as well. There are protection bars for the front-sides/engine as well.

Gonna be great trip dude

Having the repair manual on the trip. Put extra chapters ... !?

That luggage rack u will see.....if u drive fast it will become very very hot due to the exhaust. Atleast with mine is like that. So I drive slowly, better 👌🏿😉

If you ever decide to upgrade the tablet mount, try Ram Mount products. They have mounts for just about any electronic device on handle bars.

I'm glad you survived 😂 hope the problems won't be that bad 🙏🏼 but I can imagine at least 3 things that could go wrong with the elephant 😅

Great job 👍

The only reason Im saying this is because I know you hold yourself to a high standard when it comes to the quality of your repairs and I hate to tell you what to do, but.. you should put a ring terminal on the wire going from the positive terminal to the coil relay. In my experience working with old bikes and cars, not using terminals and just twisting wires together (which should be a crime) or bolting down the naked wire works then and there, but never works out in the long run and might lead to intermittent problems (the worst kind..). If the ring terminal is not big enough for the battery bolt, you can make a cut in the ring terminal and widen it. With that said, smart to power the coil directly from the battery! Love your series btw, you really put a lot of effort in it and it shows in the final product!

Are they comfortable? Comapred to forma adventure

Har de samme veskene, blir første turen med de i sommer. Er du fornøyd så langt? Ellers kan jeg anbefale Quad Lock mount med vibrasjonsdemper og lading, har det på min F650GS, montert i vindskjermen. Google maps for navigasjon, koblet opp mot intercom i hjelmen, fungerer helt nydelig!

Hahaha, not exactly a body builder 😂 The heated jacket is a must have in Norway. There are two kind of riders up here... those who have yet to try a heated jacket, and those who have one 😂 Great episode Hestad. Just let me say that the heated jacket was a must have in Lofoten. Can't wait to hear how the trip was. 🤌🏻

If all that wiring works the temptation is to “just leave it”, but if there are problems down the line you have to sort it from a spider’s web of wiring. (I have a similar mess on one of my bikes). Better to do it right a.s.a.p, especially with a big trip coming up, and that means 1. It’s more reliable and 2. It’s easier to trace problems if there are any. I enjoy all your stuff, it’s very “Real World”! Thanks. Les in UK 🇬🇧

vær forsiktig med å vise skilt nummer. det er enkelt å få adressen. god tur :)

Temporary permanent install 😂. I have done just like you in the past and I never ended fixing it. Excellent series, Thanks

The most expected videos for me! Keep it going!

Nice video. Also have a revitt sneaker like riding shoes and a revitt wp riding boots but its a mid cut and a bit sporty im eyeing this stradhu or thex team... Whats the diff between stradhu and x team acerbis? Anyone?
