2004 DUCATI 1098 CUSTOM CAFE' RACER
This 2007 Ducati 1098 is unlike any other thanks to the 250+ hours of custom modifications and refinishing. Some motorcycle enthusiasts prefer great visual appearance while others prefer great performance. It is rare that such a motorcycle combines both aspects of greatness. What began as a 2007 Ducati 1098, has been reworked and modified with countless hours of work. Every nut and bolt is new, the engine has been re-sealed, and the suspension has been refurbished. The frame, swingarm, and front forks have been powder coated. The fuel tank from a Ducati Sport Classic, custom front fairing, and custom rear tail are finished in a beautiful black paint with Italian 23K gold leaf livery. This black and gold theme pays homage to the 1979 Ducati 900SS. The custom rear subframe is easily removable via four bolts. A modern LED headlamp with integrated turn signals sits tastefully inside of the custom front fairing. This Ducati’s rear tail is also custom, including a rear storage compartment that is detachable by the push of a button. The wiring harness is relocated along with the lithium ion battery, ECU, and electronics albeit easily accessible. The engine covers, fenders, and CRG levers are all created with carbon fiber. This bike is controlled via keyless entry. The engine wears an aftermarket intake, a custom exhaust and an ECU remap by Ducati of New York. Engine cooling is well taken care of by a replaced radiator and oil cooler both covered with CNC Racing covers. The black Cerakoted front and rear shocks have been rebuilt with OEM Ducati parts. Recently replaced brake calipers have been Cerakote finished in a grey color and clamp down on new front and rear brake discs. The brake lines have recently been replaced along with the slave and master cylinders. Transmitting the power to the rear wheel, the clutch plates, pressure plates and springs have also been recently replaced. These clutch components are housed by a Speedymoto clutch cover and hardware. Satin gold carbon fiber wheels made by BST are wrapped in Dunlop Q4 tires and spin on ceramic bearings.
