It all started when I bought a yellow 2003 749 (mint condition) way back in '04. I can never leave anything stock, and one thing led to another. I wanted to do something differant with the bike, something that would make Ducati purists cringe.

The bike was lowered, and I made some custom exhaust for it. Designed some custom night rider tailights for it, and then it snowballed. I tore it all the way down for a full black frame color change and a nice semi-gloss black cherry paintjob.

Well neadless to say this wasn't enough. I wanted something CRAZY! So we decided to repaint it. I wanted to go for an old school look, so we sprayed it hot rod black with solid red flake scallops. equipped with red and white pin stripes all around. I also designed a nice air ride kit for it. Along with some carbon pieces and custom sidemount exhaust.

For some this would be enough... but no no no, when things snowball around here, it never stops! I ended up making a one-off, 14 over, aluminum tubular swingarm to house a custom fat spoked rim. We went with "Ride Wright Fat 50" 18 inch wheels, with a 300 in the back, chrome spokes with black rims.

The air ride was redisigned to slam the bike even more and have an assortment of settings like firmness and automatic level sensing. I cut 6" off the bottom of the fairing and made a skidplate/kickstand that mounted on the bottom of the motor. this allowed the bike to be dropped straight on the ground.
