Wrench helmet rack via Silodrome. Want.

Nice. I too have a 2006 scrambler. Pictures somewhere in the thread. Exotic carbs, exhausts and shocks on yours?
.
yes its a zard exhaust ,cr carbs and hagon shocks allthough i may change the hagons as i have not had good experiances with them before -
When it comes to tools, my most recommended one is this:
What do you think @Haddtoo 555

I'd make room in my toolbox for that, looks highly effective, thanks for sharing. @Aetas

Ducati have unveiled the DraXter concept in Verona, which is a drag racing take on the XDiavel with a dubious name and a suitably pretentious video.
I like the XDiavel, but would swap out the forward controls with a set of mid or rearsets given half a chance. Yes, I know, I'm missing the point. But a production version of the DraXter (ideally with a more sensible name) would very much appeal.

There are more photos of the DraXter on Ducati's Facebook page.

Totally agree.

My Street Triple having a holiday in The South of France.

@Giles there's a first ride review of the Yamaha XSR900 at MCN. It's the big brother of the XSR600 you've got an eye on, and sounds promising.
-
Hello Kitty Scrambler, because there are too many black custom bikes.
-
And another not pink Ducati.
This is the Peace 62 Scrambler by Mr Martini, via Return of the Café Racers.
-
a work in progress allthough i have changed the the exhaust tips now ,and it has the spare tank on which still needs respraying .
-
More on the XSR900.

BikeEXIF has a lengthy review. This is unusual because they tend to cover the custom scene, and don't generally do test rides. But they grok what the bike's about, moreso than the traditional outlets.
-
MCN have pictures and a video to go with the first ride impression that I posted a day or two ago.
-
Visordown also posted a ride review.
Superbike also posted a video with lots of wheelies.
They reckon the XSR700 (review) is better for beginners.
Like Triumph, Yamaha are offering customisation packages for the bike. The Café Racer kit appeals.
I'm liking the direction that manufacturers are going these days in offering bikes that have a bit more personality than the lumps of plastic that have dominated the market in recent years. My BMW was great, but was a bit too efficient and boring.
Of course, I'll end up getting something pointy and plastic for my next ride instead, but it's the thought that counts, right?
@harley dave - nice Scrambler. But you'll have to change your monicker to Triumph Dave.

i still have the harley its in the garage

I had the pleasure of seeing this bike firsthand when it was in it was basically a rolling chassis. You have to respect the guys at Revival for building an actual race version that will see some serious use. I'm looking forward to seeing the finished product in person at the Handbuilt show in Austin!
