Junior Boarder Posts: 103 less weight 2 Years, 10 Months ago   hey guys we all know are bikes are big and heavy but has anyone done some weight reduction on the bike if so what have you chagned or taken off?

Moderator Posts: 9221 Re:less weight 2 Years, 10 Months ago   You can drop approx, 50 lbs by replacing the stock exhaust with some stubbies..Windshield weighs a good bit as well, guess it just depends on what your willing to do without....)   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #210146 Darn (User) Don't forget, Never forget.

Gold Boarder Posts: 850 Re:less weight 2 Years, 10 Months ago   I was able to get rid of 118 lbs of dead weight from my previous bike. It wasn't cheap, but it was worth it. There is a lot of prep time, but the application itself only takes a few seconds. Just sign those divorce papers and boom, another satisfied customer. Ratl.   Logged     Some days you\'re the bug.

And correct me if I am wrong, but I am almost certain the cast wheels are heavier than the spoke... and I heard that from a Yami trained certified tech, who is a good friend. Going to a single front brake would reduce unsprung front-end weight. Rotors are rather hefty.   Logged     Sig pic deleted - larger than 450 pixels and 50 kb   The administrator has disabled public write access. #210224 Darn (User) Don't forget, Never forget.
