Talking Ducati project

So I posted this on another forum and didnt get a warm fuzzy reception. So I figured I'd try it here and see what happens

I bought a wrecked 2001 Ducati Monster 749cc dark. I really just wanted the motor, but ended up keeping the motor, swingarm, and wiring. There really wasnt anything left to keep.

I then made my own frame around the motor and swingarm. Its a chopper style frame because I am a chopper guy. Then I added front forks from a ATV so I could use a 17" rim with a 180 series tire. Out back - a matching rim with 180 series tire as well. The handlebars are 16" apehangers. Dual spotlight headlights, a rear tire hugger instead of an actual fender, solo seat, and a modified gas tank from a Johnny Pag Spyder (chinese chopper).

Its insane - but should be cool as hell when its finished.
