Crash mushrooms withouth center axle

Discussion in 'Ducati General Discussion' started by JimDane, Feb 9, 2013.

  1. Have any of you seen front and rear axle protections withouth that long and heavy M8 threaded steel mounting bar?

    I would like the protection but preferably without adding the extra weight to each wheel. Someone must have made them using some kind of screw activated inside expanding design instead.

    thanks

  2. Then they would come out when the bike went down

  3. I really don't think the weight of the 2 threaded bars would make that much difference to the performance of the bike

  6. I've had the same as Andy, and crashed with them on my DD bike, believe me they don't come out I spent a few hours drilling the damaged side out to replace it.
