This specific Ducati 750GT custom has 21,150 miles and received extensive work to make it look like this. Work includes a rebuilt engine with lighter valves, short skirt sport pistons, Carillo rods, 36mm cards, and more. Outside of the engine, this bike has a Grimeca 4LS front brake, Borrani rims, Bitubo adjustable shocks, rechromed Conti exhaust, custom side covers and decals to look like the prototype, and period Aprilia switch gear. The one flaw seems to be that the rear brake switch does not work.
