Sorry to derail the thread - i'm just curious as to why people do this mod?

Is it so that you can put wider tyres on? Is it lighter weight?

Yes and no. The wheel hub is slightly different on later wheels so for instance the spacer I've had made will not work with a later ducati wheel. Will show you next time your over.

I've got a rvf coming in next week, that has a ducati rear without a spacer,
I will check alignment.
