We Have Not Made A Post About Motorcycles For Some Time,

so here is one,


 featuring a Ducati like no other, 

 it is a Ducati 750SS by Cevennes Retro Motors,

 having said a Ducati,

 other than the engine almost nothing of the original bike remains and the first task of the builder was to create a jig to hold the classic L-Twin, and begin to bend tube around it. Using only the best Chromoly, the frame uses the engine as a stressed member and although using some trellis sections, it’s like nothing to ever leave the Bologna factory of Ducati HQ,

 the rear section almost seems to defy reality, suspending the subframe with a minimum of fuss,

 the swinging arm from a Ducati S4R takes a similar nature-inspired approach and being single-sided only helps to amplify the distinctive left and right side profiles,

 the structural supports for the footpegs are just so, well nice, 

 the riders eye view,

 the Ducati engine couldn’t be left untouched and the first step was to polish and paint it up to perfection,

the induction is a work of art, sitting on a custom made alloy intake is a thumping Dellorto DHLA 40 Carb originally designed for a car, that works a treat on the 750 engine with all the linkages hand made by Cedric, of Cédric Cevennes Retro Motors, for more of his works past, present and in the future, you can follow the master bike builder on Facebook, what an amazing machine, when you think of all of the work that has gone into this custom build, well just about everything!
