Lastest rumor: Arlen Ness to make Ducati customizing parts

The more the merrier.  As long as they do their marketing research before they start producing stuff we should expect some cool stuff.

that'll be interesting if it turns out.

I have personally used a few select Ness parts in the past on custom jobs and found that they were a cut above most, good quality and perfect fit. A bit more expensive in some cases, but you get what you pay for.

Actually, I love the Ness stuff, at least in terms of fit and finish.

My only hope is it leans more towards "Rizoma" in terms of styling and less towards the "Tribal/Skull/EXTREME!" styling that seems to dominate a fair amount of the aftermarket.

Gotta say I just can't get my head around a "Ness" Ducati.

All that custom cruiser and show chopper stuff is just seems a bunch of expensive and more often than not, less than serviceable crap to me.

If it's good quality stuff, tastefully designed, why the hell not?

Let the marketplace decide...
