Hi to all,
Does anyone know what alloy Ducati used on the swingarm?
I am going to modify it to accept a larger tire. I will post results as I progress.
Thanks, Vince

Yeah , I'm pretty sure its an aluminium alloy

You could always ask fredskidoo, he has already modified his for "sprocket clearance"
There are ways to fit available tyres to your paso without chopping the swing arm, have a look at some of the recent posts .

A very common aluminum alloy for extrusion is 6061. Other alloys can be extruded, but the range is rather small. I would have to assume that since the Paso was in small production numbers, and made as a production bike, that they chose a very common alloy.
Here's a link:

I don't recall the common alloys for casting, but a websearch may give you the info you need.
Cheers,
