A Lean, Mean,

rocket machine,


is the only way I can describe this fabulous Ducati, from the Netherlands‘ Wrench Kings, this their brand new Ducati Monster cafe bike they’ve named ‘Mobster’, here is the story, “A few months ago Robbie stepped into our shop and asked us to build his dream Ducati Monster,” says the Wrench King’s Take, “He had started the build himself, but he wasn’t able to complete it due to a lack of time, so we kicked things off with the bike’s design, We asked Robbie exactly how his dream bike was going to look, after a few meetings with the Kings, Robbie gave us the thumbs up and we started the build”,

 the new custom-made rear end was fitted to the frame and a whole host of fresh custom parts were added, including some tasty Motogadget bar-ends and a set of Italian G&G cans, “Once the fitment was perfect, we started to disassemble everything and made the frame, tank and any other soon-to-be-painted parts sandblast ready, after blasting they were cleaned, painted and topped off with a shiny new 2-pack clear coat”,

the front fork was sent to local shock shop HK suspension for a complete overhaul and the ECU went to Carmo Electronics in Helmond to be re-mapped, the leatherwork on the seat and grips was done by Miller Kustom Upholstery while the Kings started refurbishing the wiring loom for a cleaner, neater look,

 “The Mobster came out pretty well, we think, by cutting the frame and making the rear more compact, we made an original bike no one has ever seen before, the colour scheme of the bike is from the old school Duc’s and gives it an authentic look, the leather work looks great with the blue paint and the new parts are all top-shelf quality, making it a bike we’re happy to put our name on” 

and for Myself it looks so mean from any angle, butthere is a slight problem, no seat for Diana and no shopping basket for Me, but there it is, do I want one? Yes please!
