You're thinking of aluminum on LHD ...not aluminium
Must be lighter because it has one less letter
In 1812, its discoverer, Sir H. Davy, first called the metal alumium but then modified the word apparantly.
Discussion of before Jürgen discounted a similar claim for the 73 RS model having aluminium hood (or whatever it is called) recently in this thread ...
