Good effort and congratulations on your patience, I would have been really pissed off! Just one thing, it does look like that Ducati rear wheel has a small safety inner rim on each side to prevent a flat tyre falling into the drop centre but generally people forget that most tubed rims do not. Also anybody watching who does a bit of off-road, remember that the spokes will need periodic adjustment and then the silicone seal will be broken on the nipples. For certain tighten them to torque spec before doing this conversion and check you do them in the correct pattern, not just sequentially.

This also makes roadside tire repairs much easier. I'm gonna get on with this with my Sled. Thanks for another great video! Greetings from your eastern neighbour!

True. I mention this in my video about the front rim. But time will tell how durable this mod is. Let's see. If I'd do it again, I'd make sure to put silicon into the nuts and probably put two layers of tape from the start. Perhaps with a small sideways overlap. Ride safely and thanx for watching!

@@ducatidiet9789 Thanks for the tip. I'll see how it goes.

however...on the homemade risers; i wouldnt want to be doing 120kmh on a dirt road and find an unseen pothole; the reason for the machined area around the riser bolt hole on the top clamp is for the clamp assembly to have some metal to bite on > preventing the bolts from shearing off in the event of a huge whack.

What size valve stem did you purchase and where did you get it from?

Did exactly that same modification to the rear wheel in my Africa Twin. And had to go twice to the tire shop for the very same reason you did. I think we both used 3M tape, correct? So far, no pressure loss beyond the usual one that I had before as well. Front wheel a different matter. Did not make it tubeless due to different rim shape.

What footrests are that? Original ducati? I’m looking for some wider one that icon’s originals

these tube delete vids are excellent

Bra och användbar video! Vad är det för tejp du använder?

Thank you for the Information...🥳👍 Question why you don't change the Wheels to 18" rear and 21" for the front Wheel...Endurostyle?

What sealing tape are you using? I’m looking at the stans rim sealing tape, but curious what you found. Got a link?

How do you like the new tires ? are they much better offroad?

Where did you get the torque specs?

Billy Idol!

Love your videos! very detailed. I'm on same way as you by reducing the weight. Consider changing the battery to a lithium one. Is there another thing you have in mind to reduce weight?

Thanx Martin. Great that there are more tinkerers out there! Regarding weight savings: Did you check out my first Scrambler video? kzread.info/dash/bejne/poKcsrCthZbRmtY.html Also, swapping the OEM exhaust makes a massive drop in weight: kzread.info/dash/bejne/eImFo6SxdprScs4.html I also changed my battery. The one I'm using now weighs 0,6 kg compared to the original's 4 kg. A replacement plastic or aluminium tank would do the business as well, but I haven't found one yet. Thanx for watching and don't forget to subscribe 👍🏻. Ride safely.

Interesting. I had a 701 Husky and it would just go through tires, I assumed it was due to it being a tube tire. Have you noticed if tire wear is better with this tubeless system? I'd get another Husky or KTM 690 again if so.

Hello Gil. I have yet to put the Scrambler to the test in the dirt to give you an honest opinion wether this is a good mod or not. The front wheel/tyre has some more km and is still looking good. This coming weekend we are planning a proper test/course and I'll try to film it. In hindsight I should have filled the inside of the spoke nuts with silicon from the start and also put on two layers of tape right away. I know that some modders have filed down the nuts to created a smoother inside, but I think that might be overkill if one has two layers of tape. Thanx for watching.

What's your height bro

How much it weighs now

Hello Yogesh. I have no idea how much the bike weighs or the rear wheel. Not sure which one you ment, but I don't know. I don't think the bike is a lot lighter than original, since I've also added crash protection bars which are quite heavy. If I can figure out a way to weigh it, I'll make a video on that. Thanx for the tip and thanx for watching 👍🏻
