Title: A true ducati cafe racer (in my eyes anyway) Post by: memper on January 24, 2013, 04:24:21 PM http://www.waltsiegl.com/portfolio/light-2012/ (http://www.waltsiegl.com/portfolio/light-2012/)
Might be a derby but his Monster cafe is new to me. So glad to see a builder make a Monster cafe that actually looked like a cafe racer, instead of attempting to do it within the confines of the 'W' shaped stock frame. If I get this job I'm vying for I am so making my monster with a flat top frame. Question is: what the heck is going on with the left side of the motor?

Calling Pedro is equivalent to what a "Derby" would be sans proof. 'Cause I'm a lazy mesican. [drink] Title: Re: A true ducati cafe racer (in my eyes anyway) Post by: memper on January 24, 2013, 04:31:00 PM Das wassis!

Title: Re: A true ducati cafe racer (in my eyes anyway) Post by: brad black on January 24, 2013, 04:48:32 PM it's not a monster frame. he builds his own frames.
lh side of the motor is std 90 - 97 900, but is polished. page 171 or so of the italian bike thread (?) has a photo of the fame. johann at moto motivo has built a few monster frame based cafes. http://www.motomotivo.com/ (http://www.motomotivo.com/) on a side note: anyone think a ducati motor would fit in a gsxr j - l model frame? Title: Re: A true ducati cafe racer (in my eyes anyway) Post by: memper on January 24, 2013, 05:35:03 PM Yes I like what Johann is doing. His work gives the impression of flat lines while maintaining most of the stock frame. I just emailed him asking if he sells those subframe sections.
But Walt I feel achieved that classic look with a Duc which I have never seen until now. Never knew/noticed that about the early 900 motors. Super sexy. Wish my 750 looked like that, but then again, I wish many things for my old 750. But "if wishes were fishes we'd all cast nets".

[shrug]

Why not just break off the most-likely-already cracked housing and just use the spacer that's already in there? Meh. Don't mind me. I'm just cranky. I'm sure it's a nice bike in person. |
