We reckon the Scrambler Ducati is one of the best-looking factory bikes around. And the healthy sales figures bear that out.
That makes it slightly tricky to modify. But the Greek shop Jigsaw Customs has just done a sterling job with a major bodywork swap and a select few smart mechanical mods.

Jigsaw is a family-run business just outside Athens, and part of a Yamaha dealership. But in the cooler winter months, they focus on restoring and customizing motorcycles.
This commission came from the folks at the local Ducati distributor, who were impressed by the XSR700 tracker that Jigsaw created a couple of years ago for the Yamaha Yard Built program. Randy Mamola took it for a ride, and it headlined the Yamaha stand at EICMA.

?Ducati asked for a project based on the Scrambler 800,? says shop boss Petros Chatzirodelis. ?They left it up to us to decide what we wanted to build.? Jigsaw bikes are deceptively simple: easy on the eye, and with flowing shapes. ?Working on an Italian motorcycle is always difficult, though,? says Petros.

?Italians have design and style in their blood. And the Scrambler is already a naked motorcycle, with everything hidden under the fuel tank.?
Jigsaw?s signature is smooth monocoque bodywork. So they started by stripping all the factory plastics off the Scrambler?and the wheels too. Using a 3D design program, they created the curves for a sleek one-piece fiberglass body. A foam buck was cut using a CNC machine for testing and refinement.
