Thanks Richard. Tbh swapping the front with a 21 did cross my mind a few times. The issue I had with that was that I would need to change the 17” rear with an 18 “ so I don’t affect it’s stance and rake. 😀 to do that I would need a swing arm extender ...performance wise , would the outcome be worth it ? I’m not sure. Also I have a 701 Enduro for the kind of off-roading the DS struggles with ..😁😁
Nice video. I have a 2018 Desert Sled and have major issues with its original seat...its just to uncomfortable for long distances..so, I bought the sled comfort/touring seat from the Ducati catalog and that seat too is not that great for long distances..Any suggestions? Hows the Full throttle seat?
Nice video! I just bought the 2020 model and I was wondering what kind of modification you have to do in order to get your exhaust on there, it sounds amazing! Thanks for the video!
Thanks Andreas I’m happy you liked it. Congrats in the new DS. The hanger bracket that attaches the slip on to the foot peg needs an extension link. However, if you are installing the slip on only or the racing version you may not need it.
Nice mods. Im curious about the seat. Is it softer, taller, shorter, more comfortable? How is it different from the original? Love the yellow detail on the side.
great bike and great video but i was wondering since u live in the middle east does the bike get that hot ? and how much is it brand new ? unfortunately Ducati dealership in Kuwait doesn’t have a desert sled scrambler which is weird since we live in a desert 😂, but really i’m planning to get a desert sled from Dubai and ship it to Kuwait so I was wondering how much is it ? and yeah have a good day
@@bount320i The reason I was asking was that I want to figure out if something like the desert sled is enough as an all-around bike. I normally go for naked bikes (I had a Tr. Street Triple that I sold last year, thinking about what to replace it with), and I am attracted to the light off-road capability of these types of bikes, gives you the freedom to explore. By the way, I just checkout out your channel and the BMW R80 looks sick !!!! Awesome retro bike
Hi Andreas. Love your mods. I'm willing to install your very same exhaust (S-D8SO4-CUBTBL) in my 2020 DS. But i've read here and there that these akrapovic don't work in the DS (in the offical site the DS is not even listed as compatible bikes). I've read in one of your comments that you put the extension link. Where did you get that? Was it custom made? Thanks and congrats on your bike
@@bount320i that's good to know! Is there any way to send me a few detail pics? I'd love to show them to my mechanic. So far what prevents me to buy this exhaust is the way to adapt it on a DS, and looks like you have THE solution.
That's hands down the best looking Desert Sled I've seen so far ! Great mods choices man !
I’d love to know more about the clutch conversion!
Hi! where did you buy a passenger footpeg?
How did you fit the front crashbar along with the front side seat panels?
Nice, where do I find that license plate holder?
Glad to see you have the engine guard I have been looking at!
Nice bike ,what do you think of a 21inch front whèel wouldn't be hard to relace, would it have an effect on the ABS?

That’s a great looking bike, I’m really tempted

It’s slightly better. I think you should consider something like a seat concepts or similar for more comfort.
Very cool bike man. I literally just got one today and will definitely be doing some of these mods
Hi nice review. bike looks excellent.
do you have a link for the Barkbuster hand guards.struggling to find them.
Thanks David. Yea it was a hassle finding them. I got them from astroscrambler.com/

how doest it feels with slick tires? if i had this bike i would made it like a motard...
love mirrors, can you share link for those please?
It looks awesome bro ❤️
Great looking sled man!
More more more videos on Ducati desert sled pls 👍👍
Yes please I'm thinking of buying one
Hi nice bike. Did you have to take the handle bars off to install the CRG mirrors?
Nice mods. Im curious about the seat. Is it softer, taller, shorter, more comfortable? How is it different from the original? Love the yellow detail on the side.
which desert sled comes with the hydraulic clutch as standard?
Fuck yeah
This is the best looking scrambler that I've seen out there bro.
Great job
Those Bar end mirrors are not on the ends of bars.
Can they see through your body?

Looks great - good job

Thanks 🙏 yes it was custom made. A simple extension to bolt the exhaust hanger in to the passenger peg

Just did. 👍👍
@@bount320i thanks!!!
Gorgeous bike!
Beautiful bike
What exhaust is that I can't seem to find it on the part list
Akrapovic
Hi .. Where do you have bought this seat with yellow finiture? is original or handcraft?
It’s from a Ducati scrambler flat track. I got it on eBay
@@bount320i Ok I've found .. Full Throttle not Flat Track ;) Thanks it's so cool
@@FrancescoZanet I think I had a bran fart there. You’re right it’s full throttle. 😂
@@bount320i 😂👍🏻 no worries .. btw your DS is very cool
Nice review and commentary bro

Factory footpegs on the sled are pathetic, imo.
