    Cause of the angle its on.

    I looked at it trying to work out how you rode it without burning the leg then I saw the other angles.

    Not for me I don't think but not a bad effort

    Because if you look at the second photo you'll see the aluminium has flared angle at the top and bottom of the intercooler which covers the stickers in the first photo making it look like a photoshop placement.

    The lighting still looks wrong when you compare the shadow under the bike with the shadow on the clitter clatter clutch cover and the fairing under the intercooler?

    well they put a lot of effort into getting the concrete seam into the reflection and the curvatue of the belly pan if that's the case.

    That's what I was referring to when I mentioned the angle it was taken from. It looked to me like it stood out off the bike about 6-12inches when i looked at it initially.
    Then I saw the side view and it all sorted itself out...

    Just when I thought you couldnt make a ducati any uglier im am proven wrong, what a heap of shit, turbo or not, its still an over priced wog prop. You may as well pull off the speedo and put in a calender..
