This bike either has people wanting to kill me or praise me. I came across a wrecked Ducati ST2 and it started from there. If you look closely at the bike you will see I kept and added many Ducati & race inspired parts. Like Olins R&T forks, Penske Rear Shock, Speedymoto Pressure Plate & slave cylinder, milled clutch engine side cover, billet oil filter, Billet Belt cover, Moto Master front rotors and a Gaffer rear rotor, Motocyco Grenade reservoir, Beringer billet Brake and Clutch master cylinders, MadDuc Rear Caliper Mount, Wheels are from a MH900E, I kept the Ducati rear single sided swing arm. I didn’t put a huge tire on the back, it's a 190. It's got Discacciati six piston front calipers and the stock Brembo caliper in the rear. The seat is leather with a crocodile center insert by Hot Rod Interiors. This is not a Monster frame. The frame is a one off custom. It’s not a stock frame that was bent or stretched. It’s made from 1.25” diameter chromoly tube. The only thing stock on the frame is the neck. The fuel tank was split and widened to fit all the electronics under it. The Exhaust is a double shot gun design. The frame, fuel tank, Triple trees, handle bars, rear sets and exhaust were done by Mark Savory at Motocreations. I took the stock 916 tail and modified it and integrated the brake lights and blinkers in the tail. I also fabricated the lower fairing. It is made from round tube with a .040 Steel skin. It has a Gemo top gun front fender. It has a Motogadget Speedo and Tach. There are a lot of Billet add-on’s to this bike that I made like the spike bolts, frame plugs, gas cap and exhaust tips. The kick stand has a duck foot base that I got from Bill Johnston at Duccutters. The bike only weights 305lbs and moves out pretty good. The Paint was done by Peter Weber custom. The guys at  www.racecitypowersports.com in Mooresville NC helped me with final assembly. There are so many more mods I could go on forever.
