I like it!
It also provides to protect the front cylinder, not only the oil cup!
By the way, i already ordered the official Ducati Engine Guard!
Thank you for sharing!

hey tc3. I'm not sure I like the look. The scrambler oem bash plate is pretty nice. only 100 dollars too.

Pete I am undecided myself but it covers more than the Ducati one and what with the front wheel throwing up stones thats not a bad thing

I found this. Evotech Performance Release Scrambler Ducati Product Range | Evotech Performance - Blog For Motorcycle Performance Enthusiasts
The engine guard looks better than the ducati item which I already ordered. Trying to find a US distributor want the other two guards and the axel sliders

They are also developing a head light guard...

that's true. I wonder if they'll develop a larger ducati one over time? The aluminum sure looks nice don't you agree?

No I no longer like the look of Ducati one. Looks like something I would use to drain lettuce leaf for a salad

It's pretty nice actually. There is something that makes it look horrible wrong, but horribly nice at the same time...

Probably the same reason i think flatfaced dogs are fugly great looking.

If we're just talking looks then I am with TC3 in liking it better than Ducati's 'lettuce drainer' or maybe more aptly called 'spaghetti drainer' looking offering.

I will go for the spaghetti with my Classic

I still dream of the plate of spaghetti vongole I ate in Bologna after visiting the Ducati factory/museum .....what a day that was!

Okay, you gents are starting to convert me! I spent quite a bit of time looking at the guard and am finding I am appreciating it more and more. Cool foresight!0

colander look

the colander look is to ensure as much airflow as possible, you will be amazed how the engine temperature will be effected by changing the airflow across it:nerd:

Not sure it will be enough of a change to cause issues as Evotech have plenty of experience making these things for all types of engines but I could be wrong...

hmmmm....it is agreed, I am sure, that whomever developed the scrambler has a true appreciation for asthetics. They know how to create a work of art don't you all think? in this case, WHY of WHY would they have the bash plate looking like it does. Surely there must be a reason. So, I wonder if it has to do whith airflow?? That is definitely a GREAT question? Umvubuafrica...where did you hear or read this? Here in California, and very soon, we will be getting temps in the 42 to 44 Celsius range. So this is a definite concern.
