We have the "mods" picture thread, the "general" picture thread... but what about the VERY BEST OF THE BEST thread?

There are some truly amazing bikes on here, with so many custom and aftermarket parts that they are hardly Ducati-built anymore.

Can we nominare our favourites on here for a truly inspirational thread on what's possible when you have the skills, time and money to create the perfect Ducati Cafe Racer?

Show us your own, or nominate your favourite forum-member's bike (not the pro-builds from Roland Sands, etc). Those with more than just nice paint and forged wheels with Ohlins - show us those bikes that have it all...

good idea ...

but some, like mine are neverending stories so we'll have to redo the topic after a while.

So, no nominating your own bike I guess ?

All bikes are WIP, but you can definitely nominate your own bike, and yours deserves to be nominated...

Well, at least post pics of your bike Kayser...

And, how about:

GTRossis's stunning bike:

Stunning...

I'm sure Muzzmann and Rocket450 have some specials, IIRC?

Also...

MojoDuc, I've only seen pics of your bike in parts, and never the whole thing...

JC's Paul Smart looks pretty cool, but I've only seen pics on thier website.

This one from papwheelie is gorgeous

Here's some pics of mine. I don't have any good ones since the latest mod (the retro grips).
The list of mods is in my sig.
Next will normally be the NCR alu spider and oil cooler.

If we're voting...

This one gets my vote. It's super clean and has always been my favorite.

This picture shows clearly how inadequate the so called Imola aftermarket seat is designed… It was a good decision to stay with the original seat/cowl combination!

I agree. Robsy's bike is bar-none the nicest SC. It has everything just right.
