More custom Ducati Scramblers

In addition to the SC Rumble by Vibrazioni Art Design and the Radikal Chopper custom Ducati Scrambler, Ducati has collected together four more custom examples of the new bike to display at various shows.

First up is the work of UK bike builders IDP Custom Moto who used a Ducati Scrambler Full Throttle to create a motorcycle inspired by World Superbike legend and ‘I’m a Celebrity’ star Carl Fogarty. The ‘Urban Jungle Scrambler was created for Fogarty with a lighter feel, removing some panels and covers, as well as front and rear mudguards and the wrap-round number plate bracket. The exhaust guard was modified, as was the front of the bike, including replacing the headlight with a more traditional unit.

The black vinyl seat was reworked with ribbed detailing on top, new side panels covered the gaps left after removing the original, and red camo hydrographics were applied. The polished tank panels were taken from the original 1962 model, and at the back, a full-adjustable Ohlins rear shock was fitted.

Next up were Northampton-based Britaliamoto, who took just four weeks to transform a Ducati Scrambler Classic into the flat track inspired ‘Blue Moon’. Various Ducati parts have been appropriated, including a GT1000 swing arm, and a Termignoni race-line full steel exhaust system which was modified from 2-into-1 to a 2-into-2 stacked system.

The seat unit and tail unit were reshaped, the ignition was relocated behind the headstock and the speedo was remounted in the centre of the dash. And the original LED headlight was replaced by a 5-inch version, all done by builder Alastair Wager and friends Steve Collins and John Keogh.

Sheffield Motorcycle centre is one of a number of Ducati Scrambler dealers, and they started by using the famous Gulf Oil livery on their bike. The trellis frame and even the shock spring have been painted and re-coated, along with the tank, front mudguard and front fork bottoms.

The rear foot pegs and mounts were removed, and the light tan seat has been re-shaped. The exhaust was built in-house, and the fat bars feature internal cables to give a clean look, along with bar end mirrors for a bit of safety. It’s still a work in progress for Kev French at Sheffield Motorcycle Centre, with a new exhaust system and number board amongst the plans.

Last but definitely not least is the DMC Eccythump Scrambler, built by Ducati Manchester in partnership with Paul Eccleshare. The bike was inspired by 1960’s Italian supercars and Superleggera coach building.

That means a straight-through hand-made exhaust, a hand crafted leather seat, stone guards and heat shields hand-made from sheet aluminium, vintage motocross headlights and handlebars, and new paint. 24 carat gold leaf was painted over the white and brown pearlescent base coats. Meanwhile the wheels were stripped, polished and painted, with nickel plating also used before being re-shod with a low profile Enduro road tyre.

So, the question is which one you’d prefer to have in your garage or admire in your living room?
