Weight loss idea

Discussion in 'Ducati General Discussion' started by Nosaj, Aug 31, 2013.

  1. I'm gettin older and find some bikes quite heavy , so am investigating ways of reducing weight . My idea is simple. If I remove the round wheels and fit square ones , I could then remove the heavy centre stand and side stand which would also benefit when lumbering the chain , as the bike would stand up on its own . Is this a good idea ?

  2. I think you've already lost weight by reducing your brain cell quota :biggrin:

  5. Maybe you could get a Bangladeshi to ride it for you. That would be a simple way of reducing weight. Look around and I bet you could find one quite easily.

  6. If you removed the engine and electrics, not only would it save weight but it would remove any potential reliability issues!

  10. Top Tip for Dyslexics:

    Try deliberately spelling words wrongly. This way, at least you have a chance of spelling them correctly
