Can the Paul Smart go Bi?

Biposto that is?

Can you take the parts from the newer Sports and make the Paul Smart a two seater, or is there different framework I need to be aware of?

Thanks in advance for the help!

Yes, it been done. Go over to Ducati.ms and do a search.

Thanks Moto, it would be cool to see another person's solution. The others I've seen didn't quite work for me asthetically.

ok, heres what i did..... I removed the stock bolts going through the top of the shock and supporting the exhasut and replaced them with some stainless hardware from ACE (grade 8, and a Flat head...) I then drilled and tapped into them so they would accept an M6x25 bolt. I then used some clamps that i had to clamp to the frame and ran a longer bolt from the rear mounting hole of the passanger rearset through the clamp, using a piece of pipe as a spacer. I used stainless hardware (but not pipe...doh!) and made sure to use Nyloc nuts so nothing would rattle loose. So far, i have about 2k miles, and no problem on this setup and i DON'T take it easy on my bike! Let me know what you think.

Definately the best solution I've seen someone put together so far. Thanks for taking the time to post these up!
