  1. I thought the best look was the penis drawn on the unfinished surface.

  2. Wednesday update... the one with tentacles

    Sticker bombed the stock plastic parts on the bike as I intend on replacing them during stage 2

    Shock guard

    Rear fender

    Front fender... the clear coat I sprayed over the top reacted with the red on the Ducati logo and ate it... not impressed
    [​IMG]

    This is what will actually take the place of the front fender... CNC brace and fork guard

    Made up a number plate bracket

    Uses the stock light

    New bracket for the brake reservoir to clear the relocated dash

  8. Yeah, I want to mount them to the headlight later
     
  9. I appreciate this has taken lots of time and effort and skill, but to me you seem to have made a panigale look like a cx500.

  11. Straight out of Mad Max....
     

  12. You typed within the post you quoted.
     
  13. I was just going to say it looks like what People do to CX500's who have beards and tats, then I read your post :Hilarious:
    Philippe Stark on Asprin? :)
     
  14. Says it.

  17. I have a beard and tats, it's a family tradition. You should see our Christmas Day photos ;)
     
  18. Yep - same as ET for me - appreciate the engineering but ruined a perfectly good panigale when the engineering could have been used to ruin a scrambler instead....you couldn't have lost if you did that.

  19. Agree with the above, not for me but damn clever with his hands. Have to admire the bravery (or is it madness) of the man to attack his brand new bike like that, which would not have been cheap.

    Does @evoarrow like it, not sure if he gives a thumbs up or down?
     
  20. Not feeling the vibe El Toro? I generally like to keep my bikes bog standard and
    Not feeling the vibe them El Toro! I like my bikes original and clean, but if I could justify having a stable of machines, I would like a special and something edgy and unique like the above. It would have to be a Duke of course. I like the post-apocalyptical look of this build and I just hope that those zorst's are as anti-social to the ear as they appear in the pic.
