except he still has the motor for the exhaust valve in there  [thumbsup]

and he could have just reflashed the ecu to get rid of the immobilizer to eliminate the dash...

yeah i'm thinking the guy knows bikes, but not Ducs

and I'm not sold on the swingarm shock mount.. 90 deg force on that arm bar  [bang]

I would like it if the swingarm weren't so long, and the rear tire so big.

Hasn't someone else done skulls and dice on a bike before?  I'm thinking it may not be an original idea!

Which just proves that "original" is not the same thing as "well chosen."

On the other hand, "hackneyed" in the pursuit of cool is just FAIL.

Shorten the swingarm, narrow the rear tire, and lose the skulls, and it would be an infinitely better machine (even if it had some "My Little Pony" stickers on the tank skins).

It doesn't look so bad with the black skins. I personally wouldn't have chosen the skull theme, wide tire, or extended swinger.

but

it is original and if you're going to have that paint job, at least it has a tattooed look to it. Exhaust is badass with the offset undertail

it's not that being original is always bad. but attention to details is important.
he found workarounds for issues that didn't need workarounds as they are already solved. the exhaust valve, the immobilizer... both shouldn't be an issue on this bike, but he skipped it and well... rigged it instead of fixing it cleanly.

HAHA, he got the plate wrong :)

Should be MY - T - DUC.

What's a mity duc?

I think that would read "Mighty Duc"...
That was just my interpretation though.
