Nope, seat unit looks rubbish, what there is of it, exhaust looks wrong. I say set the slugs on it.

Ducati makes beautiful looking bikes, so why on earth would someone butcher them to look like that wreck! :roll:

No redeeming features for me. The Shit stickers say it all.

If you're going to stick a retro looking endurance fairing on it, then you should put a retro seat unit on it too, it looks silly with the typical cafe racer back end.

What's the negative for superlative? Because I'm running out of words to say how horrid these customs usually are - keep 'em coming Weeksy ;)

The hole in the fairing is presumably for an oil filter... the lights just look daft... and the hipster seat looks all wrong.

Why ruin a perfectly decent bike?

At least the spoof Shell sticker is accurate in its appraisal.
