Trying to modify tricycle

Tampa,  - Let's try to modify this tricycle and we can find solution as follows.

Alain Bernard is one builder who could never guess his way of thinking in the United States. Innovation retainer Santiago Choppers, in Tampa, Florida, it was always different despite claiming the model modification specialist trike bike (tricycle). At work on this one, two major brands, Buell and Ducati mated.



Bernard was named "Bucati". Its base (the main frame and engine) used 1998 Buell X1 Lightning alerts. 1203cc V-Twin engine felt to represent the desired character, the street fighter model "perched" with a high seating position.

Together mechanic Mike Lima, a machine that already fierce for being modified which is claimed are  capable of racing up to 200 kph. The trick, replacing the old carburetor with 28mm Keihin CR, as well as replacing the cylinder head with owned HD Dyna 2000i. Exhaust pipes laid under.

Battery storage box was removed, and then placed in containers of oil left. Hasilknya, this bike is getting cungkring with the middle open. To support it, the original swing arm replaced with a custom curved shape. From the right side of the motorcycle was memorable fierce.

Higher and higher
Part of what makes the higher tongkrongan is set legs from Beringer, combined with the hind legs belong Chainsickle. Gambot impression Buell is gone, especially Bernard install two small lamps as a light main.

Bodi custom contrived, with the futuristic design of the tank, which also flows into the rear has sharp lines. Specifically the back, like the tail Aprilia RSV-4 Factory. Small LED lights embedded in the back, without a fender. All in black so that the more fierce and sexy.

So, where the Ducati? It was just there in the sub-frame, taken from the 1098 Ducati models, extended from the middle to the back. That's it! So, the minimal Ducati components, many modifiers changed its name suggests, is not "Bucati", but "Duell", because it is more instrumental parts Buell.
