Title: Aftermarket Frame - Gusseted by rear motor mount - pics? Post by: junior varsity on April 04, 2010, 09:31:18 AM I'm looking for some information/pictures of a superbike-esque Ducati frame. Its a custom builder's, has a triangular gusset with holes heading towards the swingarm pivot area. The trellis has a curved tube in the middle (lower bar) as well. Tube steel, not titanium. (No arcfab, sorry).
The rake is non-existant on this frame, too, but that's getting changed. A friend has just picked up one of these frames and we were talking about it as I looked it over - it looks very familiar, but I can't remember where I've seen it. The headstem had the name of the frame shop (can't remember today) and a serial # of 1003, so apparently this was bike frame #3 of this line. I didn't grab a pic, because I thought the description was pretty unique. Shout out if you know anything about it, I have a question or two, which might be solved if we find some pictures of them fully assembled.

Not quite as swoopy through the middle. The gusseted section looks the same, but there's not smaller holes to mount rearsets.

Post by: junior varsity on April 05, 2010, 03:24:49 AM Ah, I've seen El Mat's frame there before, this one is different. Red, cherry bomb (dual) high mount exhaust, 748 swinger, '94 900 2v motor in it, 748 tank, and a really sweet monster cowl blended with superbike seat. The gusseting on the frame area has big holes (that reduce in size as you move vertically), but none of them are for rearsets... (That's what I'm here for - to figure out how this was accomplished before. i see now, that many of those bikes HAD some small holes for rearset attachment. Not so on this bike).

The gusseted section looks the same, but there's not smaller holes to mount rearsets. I'll bet that's frame #1004 ;) The style of the frame is the same -it's just a little different.

Title: Re: Aftermarket Frame - Gusseted by rear motor mount - pics? Post by: junior varsity on April 06, 2010, 07:11:32 AM See how that one's gussetted section has big holes that decrease in size, and then a set of little holes for the rearsets? the one i'm staring at does not have those. i'll grab pics by week's end.

How is Norm doing anyway? Last I remember (probably a few years ago now) he was having some health problems. sac Title: Re: Aftermarket Frame - Gusseted by rear motor mount - pics? Post by: ducrider45 on April 07, 2010, 03:23:02 PM He has stoped working for the most part. I was down his way a few months back, but he was headed out of town for the weekend. I did not get away from work in time to see him(Ill be back down in his area in July). He wanted to go for a ride and asked me to bring my gear. I guess that was good news.
