  2. Why would one replace a lovely aluminium alloy frame with something 1.6 times heavier?

  3. Looks nice to me, perhaps as a conversion for a Bip to mono?

    How much is the lowest offer you'll accept?

  7. Very nice.The only ones I was aware of was from a well known company called NCR.Think the NCR ones cost a small fortune as with all there stuff.

  8. Ducati Performance made these as well (part nr. 979000155), but that one looks like an NCR unit.

  10. Is it made from thinner wall Ti tube?
     
    #10 RickyX, Dec 18, 2014
  11. very light, very strong and very non corrosive .
     
    #11 TTonup, Dec 18, 2014
  12. Yes, but to make it lighter the tube wall must be thinner, assuming the outer diameter is the same as the aluminium item. Just intrigued to know if that is the case.

  13. don't forget the material can in itself be lighter ( as is aluminium , but al is not as strong for given dimension )

  14. Wasn't the ali one prone to cracking?
    I know the 916 one was...:rolleyes:

  15. Have Jerry's ti one in the garage, along with an ally one. Will get a weigh in on each, time permitting.

    I know there isn't much in it by holding them up.

  16. The titanium unit is slightly lighter but so much stronger..
    Do we have any takers?..
     
    #16 Ducati worx, Dec 19, 2014
  17. I think that was the Bi one
     
    #17 TTonup, Dec 19, 2014
  18. If it would fit my 916sps id be all over this trick and rare part.Surely someone will snap this up but doubt its bargain bucket prices.

    So is it a NCR item?.
     
    #18 matt#corse, Dec 20, 2014
  19. More than likely an ncr item, they are commissioned by Ducati to make their parts"
    I have two so keep one sell one..
    Not cheap, no, I'm open to a good offer, I think they are £800 new not sure..
