What to do with your old Ducati Monster
Too many Cagiva Elefants, Gran Canyons and Ducatis!
Azzalin SP and various others.

Re: What to do with your old Ducati Monster
Someone has done something very similar with an SV650, which I suppose is basically a Japanese Monster. V Twin, trellis frame etc.

He went all out putting in an underseat fuel tank and everything. Interesting build.

Re: What to do with your old Ducati Monster
I've seen the bike in the flesh......metal? Whatever.....I've seen it. (thumbs)
A great idea, a great build and the finish is up to the usual standards of CT Motorcycle Services, known as Tunneruk on here and the UKGSER forum. I think that there is a build thread over there, the title is il Bastardo.
He's the chap that did my Triumph Bobber for me. (thumbs) (thumbs) (thumbs)

Re: What to do with your old Ducati Monster
I like dcati monsters, but imho this is just a wannabe :sick:
with all that squashed front forks and quite cheaply looking mods (do not care what the guy actually did with it) that it is no more than a cheap yankie suv and we all know what kind of people drive those :dry:

Re: What to do with your old Ducati Monster
That's a bit harsh. How can you pass judgement on something if you're not interested in seeing what work went into it? Good of you to judge the owner without knowing him too :whistle:V_King wrote:I like dcati monsters, but imho this is just a wannabe :sick:

BTW Can you enlighten everyone as to what kind of person drives American SUV's and on what grounds that you come to such an intelligent conclusion?
