I cannot believe this day has arrived!!! Bike's been in the shop since the week before Thanksgiving. Started off simply as a black subframe but the project kept growing and growing and...

So here she is!

And more photos here; sorry the pics kinda suck. No flash and I took them quick as my ass has to get up early for work:

Special thanks to Marco (DaBull) for helping me with my sanity, a bunch of you guys here (08Hyper, DaBull, Bromike666, CTarna, Dallara, Shift-tech, Desmoworks, PJFZ1 and I'm sure more but I can't remember right now, sorry!) for answering my 'sometimes stupid' questions and helping me make some decisions. Also, Shift tech, Motowheels, Desmoworks and PJ's Parts for helping me outfit her.

And also; big thanks and props to the guys & gals at So Cal Ducati; Art, Trevor and TJ (Service) along with Danny (mechanic), Rob and Val (managers) and Adam (parts) for helping make this project (and other things) possible.

So that's it for now; just a few more pieces to put on in the next few weeks but for now; this thing KICKS ASS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

PS; SmugMug's having issues so you may or may not be able to view the remaining photos...so here's a few more.

Looks awesome! I almost went with that same clutch cover. Can you post a list of all the mods you made to it?

Thanks dood! You know; that Scudo cover looks better in person, especially when the pressure plate's black too.

Uhhh, let's see if I can remember:

Rizoma reservoirs and brackets (both frt/rear brakes & clutch), Rizoma Tomak mirrors, Rizoma grips and bar ends/sliders. Rizoma fender elim kit. Rizoma brake & clutch levers.

Scotts steering damper, Lindemann adjusted front and rear suspension along with anodized fork tubes. S&P triple clamps.

Sato rearsets, Speedy Moto 'Scudo' clutch cover, EVR slipper clutch. STM oil cap. Motovation sliders (front/rear/frame).

Ducati/Termi 2-1-2 full exhaust kit, ceramic coated. Powder coat rear subframe, front fender supports and skid plate.

DP front/rear turn signals with Rizoma front mounts.

And the cherries on top? Suede seat and Nicky Hayden's sig on the tail!

Just need to throw on the black rear spring (same spring, just coated black), Ducshop intake system, NCR black anodize gas cap, Ducshop shaved flywheel, 520 conversion (15/44) and DID chain, and Zeta SX3 bars.
