The more the merrier.  As long as they do their marketing research before they start producing stuff we should expect some cool stuff.

I have personally used a few select Ness parts in the past on custom jobs and found that they were a cut above most, good quality and perfect fit. A bit more expensive in some cases, but you get what you pay for.

Actually, I love the Ness stuff, at least in terms of fit and finish.

My only hope is it leans more towards "Rizoma" in terms of styling and less towards the "Tribal/Skull/EXTREME!" styling that seems to dominate a fair amount of the aftermarket.

I own several motorcycles. I have owned lots of motorcycles. And have bolted and/or modified lots of crap to said motorcycles...

Gotta say I just can't get my head around a "Ness" Ducati.

All that custom cruiser and show chopper stuff is just seems a bunch of expensive and more often than not, less than serviceable crap to me.

If it's good quality stuff, tastefully designed, why the hell not?
