Ducati Multistrada 1200
The dark warrior
We originally bought the sporty Italian in the colour white. This made it look graceful, but also very plain and unobtrusive, almost a little boring. Just like a white VW Golf. It appeals to the masses and is easy to resell. But of course we didn't want standard and so we made the standard Ducati our Ducati.
Only the tank gives an idea of what it looked like before the restyling. The rest of the fairing was replaced. White became carbon fibre. No more boredom, let's go for a snappier look. In other words: the lovely white lady became a dark warrior in shimmering armour.
The red, shiny decorative parts such as the control cover, hand lever guard, frame protectors and many other parts from DBK Special Parts, formerly Ducabike, provide an appealing contrast to the now dark look.
While the radiator guard was hardly noticeable before, the red grille now fitted is a real eye-catcher.
The red expansion tank covers also feature carbon elements, making them perfect for this special styling.
Instead of the inconspicuous original cover, we have fitted an open clutch cover from DBK Special Parts. Milled from a single piece of aluminium and anodised in colour, the cover is a visual highlight and ensures an unobstructed view of the rotating clutch thanks to the clear Plexiglas pane. You can choose between the colours black, silver, red and gold for the housing and outer ring. This results in 14 different and appealing colour combinations.
An attractive pressure plate and a spring plate, here also from DBK, in the matching colours are of course particularly worthwhile.
The sprocket flange from DBK is CNC-milled from high-strength aluminium and impresses with its low weight and attractive design. You can choose between the colours black, red and gold. Wheel nuts and sprocket nuts in a contrasting colour immediately catch the eye.
Replacing the original windscreen with a carbon windscreen saves a considerable amount of weight and makes the Multistrada look even more aggressive. This makes it easy for us to forgive the slightly lower wind protection compared to the original.
