Hi, does anybody know anything about this conversion, such as who made the seat unit etc!

That's not the stock subframe is it? (still waiting delivery) Can't imagine Ducati have hidden a straight backbone from tank to tail with bodywork. That screams cafe / flat tracker potential.

That top triple-tree looks pretty interesting too with the clip-on bars.

Yep. That's the stock sub frame. It's hidden under the seat and plastic side covers.

Hmm, wonder how ugly it is behind the covers then. That seat would look great with the rear fender.

frame from tank to tail is pretty straight.

This OP was taken at the recent Glemseck 101 event in Germany and the seat /tailpiece is not OEM.

Does anyone have a closer picture on how the dashboard is held in place and where the ignition lock is?

Relevant for questions about the frame.

Yes the std frame has this step at the back. The Holographic Hammer Cafe Racer had the whole tailframe chopped off and replaced with a shorter one with integrated tail lights. But there are other cafe racer builds out there (like the one above) with std frame and they look superb. Sadly here in Europe (at least Germany) we can't just weld the frame or use any accessory part on the market. Nearly everything has to be tested and allowed and a chopped frame is (nearly) never allowed, so that's not an option. Basically everything that is cool is not allowed.
What I really would like to know is whether they build a completly new dash board mount, or if they modified the standart one, because if you use the clip ons, you don't have the lower half of the clamps anymore in which the dashboard holder ins integrated.

Rizoma make 2 models of instrument mounts that relocate to the center - one for clipons bars, one for standard
