Is there an upgrade for these?

[bigboy]

Is there a lightweight replacement for this case and the plate underneath the bracket?

And this

You could always just order titanium ones. They make that entire tank bracket out of carbon fiber too.

Where???? I haven't seen that. Either item

 

[greg3852]

Just get the size of the bolts and you can order titanium bolts from anywhere. I’d try pro-bolt. But some of the titanium guys should know better.

So I believe Alif is working on a carbon fiber one too but ed Johnson motorsports has some. He’s on instagram.

Damn thanks. I'm realizing that you gotta dig deep and find obscure part makers.

Also Falkonworks has a carbon fiber tank hinge for a gsxr that will probably fit the Busa.

Sounds like you should try the dark web to find some stuff

HI. Yes theu make a carbon fiber one. I did not get one as I one lbs airhave the MTC Gen 2 clutch with air assist. 1 lbs of air = 3 lbs pressure on the lock up clutch.

Here is a review someone posted online of the one from johnsonmotorsports.

Yeah I message him now as we speak. This is DEFINITELY a WIN for weight savings. Losing a pound is getting Hella expensive. Now I'm looking at lightweight kickstand brackets and kickstand itself. BUT since it's a load bearing I'm wondering what materials are safe to be put on constant pressure

 

[greg3852]

Falkonworks is finishing up a kickstand plate now. Check him out. It’ll probably be the lightest and safest one out there.

The chase for weight savings on a heavy bike will be an expensive one and in the end, you will still be heavier than the liter bikes of which the owners are doing the same thing.....

.........but it seems like a fun hobby.........

Oh yeah I absolutely agree it will still be heavier and yes it's very very expensive. The motivation for me is having MY perfect bike.

A legendary bulletproof inexpensive platform (like the motor) it's going to be
Super comfortable
Aerodynamic
Long gas tank range
Lightweight
Excellent brakes
Suspension
Ergonomics
Flickability
220+ horsepower
Great top end stability
Time tested reliability.

All other Superbikes are either uncomfortable, unreliable, small range, Overly expensive, or all of the above.

This is why we are on this forum as we all agree on this....even the ones who jumped ship and went another direction (for the most part)....

In the end you have to be happy with what you have and nobody can take that away from you.

Lithium battery will save you around 6 lbs

Already on the list. The EXTENSIVE list lol. But don't stop giving me recommendations because I keep finding out new items each week

Yeah I thought about each bike H2 ZX14,Fireblade, s1000rr, Rsv4 Ect ect. In the end this route is better in all aspects for a street machine. While other guys are spending 8k on an exhaust for a $40k Ducati that still burns their ass and hurts their back and is unreliable I'll be chilling with fully capable sleeper comfortable and cool as a cucumber riding for miles with a 6 gallon tank lol.
