Ted, if some clever fabricator was really keen and had a fair bit of "budget",
could he re-make an Africa Twin? Modernize it a bit, shave weight off it, up grade suspension. Could it be done or is it a fool's errand?
How much weight could be taken off with custom bits like Ti exhaust, lighter wheels, Shorai battery, lighter plastic (Carbon Fiber?), LED headlights. ???
Maybe convert to F.I. to UP fuel efficiency, increase range without having to carry massive huge fuel tank? :confused1:
Seems to me there's still a fair number of these sheds running round the UK.
Would any of the owners go for such a program? Or ... too expensive? Not worth it? I've heard of AT specialists in
Germany ... anyone doing anything like this over there?
I really like the basic look of the bike. Seems to me it could be made loads better ... Pipe dream?
