Ducati Multistrada 1000DS Project
Purchased 2021 as basis for project. Bike was running but had a few issues meaning it was an MOT failure.
Not got round to doing anything with it yet and not sure to just fix the minor issues and return to standard or create a special.
Don't like the bars so they have to go. The tyres are shot and will replace the bearings as well. Rear suspension doesn't feel great from as basic static test as I've not ridden the bike yet. Also not a fan of the extra red painted stuff. So a few jobs to start with.
