    Beautiful piece of work. The bike looks amazing and very functionally put together. I especially liked how you moved all the electrics under the seat, brilliant! Definitely a labor of love. Thanks for presenting.

    Absolutely stunning. Love the details (down to the Wiggins clips) and the stories behind some of the parts, especially that exhaust! Viv is the man.

    Awesome build, really like the water pipes with wiggins clips. & how the wiring is attached to the frame, lots of thought very nice to have in a collection.

    What a fantastic build! I love Ducati and especially the sound of the old bikes with the dry clutch. I would love do to a build with an old 900 SS, but unfortunatly, in Norway we are not allowed to modify the frame, so you can't make the back part of the bike look nice.

    The looks is a win, boys! Love it when the proportions fit, like it does here. I really think the MV Augusta style wheels was a hit too. It sounds a bit loud for my personal taste, but I get it:) Well done!

    Making the ST4 into a cafe racer is a difficult job. These guys have identified the problems and solved them better than anyone else on the web IMHO. It can be done well on less of a budget than has been spent here. But starting with a 999 or an S4 makes life a lot easier.

  • @DustDevilFlyer
    @DustDevilFlyer 4 роки тому

    Great Bike! Especially the wiring and cooling system is always a challenge at the ST's and very well done here. I also like the integration of the motogadget in the headlamp and many other details. The exhaust is also well designed and sounds brutal. Just the transition between the fuel tank and seat pan looks better at the former Radical seat, but this is just a detail and the overall line looks great. I did a similar ST2 build and can imagine how many hours have been spent into this bike. Save rides and have fun with this great bike!

    What a fantastic looking bike! Obviously it is made for riding but also for just looking at. It is not a tourer, so who cares about the seat? All parts look great, manufactured, adjusted, upgraded or just bought. If such a beautiful bike was mine, after every ride (dry) I would clean the dust of and put it in my living room. Great job guys.

    Very trick indeed, love those fabricated water pipes and the aircraft clips. Viv certainly knows his stuff and is a true engineer. Love the look and stance of the bike. Nothing on there that looks wrong. Could do with hearing more of the engine on idol to pick up that lovely dry clutch, but she sure has a loud bark. Great stuff?
    Can you say or do you want to say, how much you had in mind to spend initially , and as so often happens to get a project “right”, how much did you end up spending?🏍🏍👍🏻👍🏻

    Just FYI. Single-sided swingarm pivot bearing loads are identical to normal double-sided swingarm loads. Only the stress in the swingarm is different as it has to carry torque as well. Nice bike though!
