Check out this Monster S4R Alloy Frame offered by MotoWheels.  Kopfjager, could this be your next mod?

"High quality frame made by the supplier to Pierbon, NCR, Febur and others. Constructed of tubular alloy 7072. This alloy frame wieghs approx 11.5 lbs. The original Monster frame weighs approx 29.5 lbs for a weight savings of about 18 lbs." 

So what is tubular alloy 7072?  Is that aluminum or something like chromoly steel?  Do you think this would work for Monsters other than the S4R?

I was excited until I saw the price.  :'(  Would be sweet if you had the coin though.
Save another half pound with a tail chop and bracket removal.  Are there title/registration issues with an aftermarket frame?

7072 is aluminum.

I'd prefer a Ti Arcfab frame.

So would I.  I saw saw & heard a set of ArcFab pipes at DucPond in Winchester, VA a few days ago.  I wish these were still available.   

We should go on a mission to bring him back into the Ducati world.

since the frame IS the bike in legal terms, suppose the frame has it's own VIN, or you put your VIN on it. maybe like they do with the Ducati replacements, you fill out a form, show proof of your ownership of the VIN and they stamp it on the new frame for you?

It does look good, but give the vertical cylinder a chance!

That's funny.  I was just kidding and you are going to do it.  I don't doubt it for a minute.

But none of them create a merry atmosphere of insouciance and bonhomie quite like a revving motorcycle.

aluminum alloy 7072 is aircraft grade and is pretty strong. May not be Ti strong but has very good weight to strength benefits.
I'll update this later at a convenient time Thank you for tuning in.....
