This bike was built specifically for a customer. We do not make copies of bikes, but if you would like us to create your very own custom build click HERE to find out how we can do that.
Woukd it be too much to ask what the budget on this bike was? I have an RD350 myself. Mine has torque engineering expansion chambers and boost bottles for a little more performance. Otherwise all original, even opted to have original paint restored. But…this has got to be the most beautiful blend of classic and modern I have ever seen.
Is it possible to know for how much this bike has been sold? And, in case, if there has been something to do to make it legal do run on streets? Usually, in Italy, once you do those mods on a bike you are not allowed anymore to run it on streets.
Thank you
It was built a long time ago for a customer. It was not built and sold for a specific price. It has been on the road and ridden with a license plate. The owner lives in a state that does not require inspections but it meets the required laws for his state with the exception of not having a speedometer but he can use a phone app for that.
I was wondering how you mounted the Ducati front end on the rd frame. Bushing, bearings etc. thanks for any help with this.
Sorry for delayed response. In that one we welded the Ducati neck to the RD frame. The RD frame is more than likely too small to fit the Ducati steering stem with a bearing as is. You could have a new steering stem made and pressed into lower triple and not have to swap neck like we did on this. We would have probably done that given the chance to do again.
