We start with a perfectly good Ducati 800ss and begin disassembly to modify and customize for the race track.


Beginning of the hand made custom exhaust; the original was too heavy and not optimally configured; it had to go…..


Installation of the custom made sub-frame.


Ensuring proper fit of sub-frame & tail section.  Form follows function design; notice how beautifully the exhaust lines up with the sub-frame.  Gorgeous fit.


This is the compilation of custom exhaust, sub-frame, frame & body work.


Lining up the sharkskins bodywork to fit the frame of the 800ss


Modified Carbon Fiber tank; (underside) shortened and adapted to fit custom 800ss frame.


Custom plate for front end after unnecessary headlights and wiring were removed.


Some of the frame modification required to lighten the machine and improve its fit, feel & performance.    


Frame and Sub-Frame.


Bike in Primer with Carbon Fiber tank modified and installed.


Finished product in action!
