The transformation of my 2015 Scrambler Ducati Icon 800 into an ADVenture bike is pretty much complete now. We've already adventured many, many miles off-road over the years which is how we both knew these modifications will be valuable additions to the already capable bike.
Before I dive into the list of new parts (and some older ones you may see on the bike which are not part of the recent upgrades) let me begin by thanking Johann Keyser of Moto Motivo 2 Wheel Art. This man is a dear friend, and he went above and beyond the call of duty assisting me with my project. He builds some of the most luscious and inspiring custom bikes out there in addition to building the Biomota Vyrus bikes in the USA. His eye for detail and craftsmanship is second to none and he’s got a slew of awards to his credit! Visit his website and social media pages for more information!
