Wow a cracked frame is a major hit. I would post a question in the tech section for advice. Maybe you can find a clean frame cheap or a slightly damaged bike and make the best out of two. Good luck.

Thank you, will do.

And for sure, been sourcing replacement frames/triple trees, so it will certainly be a labor of love.  But it had a lot of great upgrades before, like MIVV exhaust, Sargent seat, etc.


And I suppose if the total price to redo comes under the price of a used Scrambler Icon, I'll still be in the black. (And winter's coming up so it will be a good time to work on it.)

So true! If you're riding 2-up, then both have to be comfortable or it's not a good time for anyone.

Half price is a sweet price for a dirt-friendly Ducati.

Damn it, I just found a replacement frame AND full front-end (forks, triple tree, and front axle set) on eBay for the right price and pulled the trigger for my 696 scrambler conversion.

Looks like my winter project is locked in now.  All thanks to you!  Cheers!

The only times I really hungered for more power was on high speed sweepers and when following superbikes.  Suspension still stock?

The GLW is pretty comfy on this bike.

Have some spare Rizoma tapered bar adapters which not only let me use a Pro Taper MX bar with more height and sweep, but give a little more height. May switch to single disc and use a spare braided clutch line that should reach with an appropriate M/C. Will use some more aggressive sintered pads for a little more bite to help stopping power. Any reason to have a single front disc on one side verses the other? I note the factory put it on the left side.

I think in the northern hemisphere the factory put them on the other side. :P

I finally committed to a single front disc. Looking for a PS13 master cylinder now. Waiting on an SS guard I picked up on ebay to give the forks a little more protection. I'll block the holes in the wheel with some bolts.

Barkbusters are on order. Must have lost a few kilos removing the RHS disc and caliper, gigantic battery, airbox, oem pipes, seat cowl and bikini fairing.

Any thoughts on running a single front disc? I have gone to a braided line from the oem rubber lines  (spare clutch line), and have some very aggressive sintered pads to try which were too aggressive for twin discs.  My guess is that these parts should help braking power with a single disc.
