That really looks fantastic! Beautiful shade of blue. Love the silver wheels here too. My only suggestion is to remove the factory silver stickers. It would look much cleaner. 
The forks are not stock. The forks have a SB/GP 25mm Cartridge that was design by my company SB Suspension in conjunction with GP Suspension. GP is producing the cartridge for my company. The performance of the fork is silky smooth with precision handling. Also, I designed the shock which is built by JRi. Truly the best handling Scrambler imaginable.
The tires are Michelin Pilot Power Road III's. The stock tires didn't have enough feel at speed and nor the rain.
This bike is no trailer queen. It is ridden daily and in the rain.
Glad you like it.- Thanks Ken
I tried a few aftermarket bars but they were not wide enough for my comfort. The Full throttle bar isn't swept back enough but it's a great compromise. Originally, I looked at ordering a Full Throttle handle bar from the dealer but with the correct brackets needed the price was around $350. Then I figured out that Ducati sells it as a complete accessory with brackets for $140. Go figure.
If I find time to take them off I will. I don't even notice them. The frame will be Powdered Candy blue over the silver metallic color of the wheels whenever racing winds down for the season.That really looks fantastic! Beautiful shade of blue.

Between working the MotoAmerica racing circuit for Ohlins and suspension service in the shop. It has been a non-stop year with little time left for playing with the Scrambler.

It looks great and we'll definitely need a picture of it after the frame has been colored. Are you going to leave the silver part of the tank as is?

What is that American obsession with no fenders? Other than that I like the colour.

The blue and silver color combo looks amazing! Maybe the fender was removed so that there's one less part to clean after riding through the dirt.
You have me laughing on the inside. I've ordered two different fenders for the front. The stock fender doesn't fit well after changing the tires.
I think it's the flat track look that Americans like!
For the back, it was just to big and I haven't had time to make a cool hugger.
I did borrow the fender of my 916/955

Count me in as one of the guys who doesn't understand why people keep taking off their fenders. But I get that it doesn't fit your new back tire.
I love the color scheme. Very classic looking. Are you going to put anything else on the side panels? They look a little naked.

Ken - like the look of your bike with the Blue and Silver.
Could you help with a couple of queries please.
What do you mean "the front fender doesn't fit with the new tyres". Did you fit a wider tyre or different profile.
I believe the OEM mags are powder coated. Did you get it removed before applying the silver powder coating.
Is it easy for Powder Coaters to do this or is it a specialist job.
Was the OEM mag rough after the removal of the powder coating - did you have to do a lot of preparation before applying the new.
What are the pit falls when getting powder coating removed/replaced.
Thanks and Kind Regards - Ray.

I'm another one who doesn't understand removing fenders. Really like the 916/955 fender. Changes the look a lot. What size tires did you go to? I'm thinking of going to some Pilot Powers when the stock skins wear out. TIA for any info.
