    Carducci DS Conversion Kit for Sportster

    it's a good looking bike with nice features but i'm wondering why the Sportster motor? i loved the endless thump from my Buell XB12 motor but not sure i'd want to DS with it. hmmm.

    ~475lbs 1/2 wet. porker

    With 40 years of motorcycling experience – riding, racing, customizing and 32 years of design engineering experience, I developed the architecture and geometry of the SC3 Adventure until it looked and felt right. As the saying goes ~ If it "looks" right, it generally tends to "be" right. The result – The SC3 Adventure works and feels "right."

    It does look cool... but I don't think it'd be any more "DS" worthy than a 990 Adventure for the weight class. Neat as an engineering exercise though.

    I was looking to see if they were selling the parts, kits, or just whole bikes. It looks like the swingarm is "no longer available"...?

    They look like storz pipes, and that's definitely a supertrapp logo on the mufflers.

    It's a Supertrapp header as well; 2-2 XR-style high pipe for the sportster.
