Earle Ducati Alaskan Junior

A designer for Audi by day, LA-based Alex Earle is known better in motorcycling circles for his street-tracker inspired custom Ducatis. He became famous last year for the project The Alaskan and has now prepared a lighter version, the Alaskan Junior based on Ducati Scrambler Desert Sled. Alex tried to improve the Ducati Scrambler Desert Sled in all aspects to make the Italian motorcycle even more off-road oriented. The result is a stripped down, gutsy back country brawler of a Desert Sled, it is kitted out for serious off-road duty in Alaska and beyond. Earle Motors can convert your stock Ducati Desert Sled to full Alaskan Jr. spec to include swingarm extenders to fit full size offroad wheels, bespoke Earle Motors graphics and Space Gray livery.  Inquire at their contact form for full list of options and pricing.
