A dedicated Ducatista has rebuilt his Ducati Monster S4RS with a bespoke titanium frame that knocks pounds off the weight whilst adding an equal amount of trick and acting as a rolling showcase for his business venture.

StradaFab promises to build titanium frames for your Ducati Monster, Superbike, Sport Classic or Hypermotard. The Monster frame was made using Grade 9 titanium tubing. With the stock steel frame weighing in at 27lbs, the titanium version managed to be 12lbs lighter. The Quat-D exhaust is about 10lbs lighter too. All of this added up to 364lb (165kg) dry, almost 30lbs less than the claimed stock weight.

The full specification run down includes:

• Titanium Headlight and Tail light brackets by StradaFab
• Painted Carbon Fiber seat by StradaFab
• Carbon Fiber and Aluminum clutch cover by StradaFab
• Paint by StradaFab
• Speedymoto top triple clamp
• Rizoma rearsets
• Rizoma mirrors
• Rizoma grips
• CNC Racing signals
• Quat-D Ex Box exhaust
• CNC Racing steering nut
• Tapered steering bearings
• Vortex 14T sprocket
• Driven clip-ons
• CRG Levers
• Rizoma bar ends

To achieve the cafe racer look a new tail section was fabricated.

“I made the tail also. I had a vision of what I wanted this bike to look like, kind of cafe racerish, but I didn’t want one of those cafe tails that don’t fit very well. So I carved the tail out of foam, covered it with fiberglass and made a mold for the CF.”

The bike was displayed at the NCR Ducstock show (though unfortunately I failed to see it there).

If you like what you see, StradaFab will build you a frame for your Monster for $6,500 or sell you their rolling showcase for $32,500 (gulp).
