Looks like a Ducati frame, or some v-twin frame.
Could not size pics up, but I like it

I love the 900ss.  I got to talk to Miguel Galluzzi about the design.  Super cool guy.

Nice project. For some reason I can't enlarge the pics.
I like poetry, long walks on the beach, and poking at dead things with a stick.
