I'm currently planning how to sew new trousers and shirt out of this vadmal I bought for next to nothing. I have few patterns from which to choose from, but before I start the sewing I would like first to check the tiny details.

SXV 550- only weighs about 32kg :D even throughj the restrictor we have to use should still be kicking out around 45 hp at 8000rpm, down a bit from the 70ish stock, but then we're only allowed to breathe through a 20mm restrictor:( next step- turbo!

Hi all!

Wooden frame canvas pack.
I'm not really happy with the frame as such. Current weight is 900grams.
I have the backpack pattern almost finished (cardboard model presented), but still the top flap need to be designed.

That is my ultimate goal, but I'm applying several changes to both frame, and backpack.

Can you drill holes to reduce weight?
