Taking weight saving to max
- Thread starter c10
- Start date
Harold called today said my stuff was ready. He sent me a few pics of parts I requested.
+1, and burnouts shed unwanted heavy rubber.
It is interesting though.
I'm curious if c10 ever finishes(we know none of us ever really do), just how light he can make a gen2(minus the removable bags and touring stuff).
Under 500lbs??

or the air filter
All jokes aside, what is next c10?
Wheels? more small parts?

c10 slims his bike down like a Victoria's secret model. I keep piling more and more poop on mine like an obese wack job lol. I always get pumped to see when and where he will shed more weight and I admire his obsession.

It takes big money to shed weight off the big components , everyone gains a lot generally from the exhaust change , then you start to spend on wheels etc. . To get more weight off you got to go much further , and the gains are individually small and costly , but put it all added together , you get more weight off than most ever will . Mike , C10 and myself are all relatively on to it !!

More than the average bird owner, but not as much as Toad yet. Last weigh in was 530 with 4 gallons of fuel, and all racks on bike.
Currently redesigning my side racks to be deleted., but still have the V35 Givi bags.
Motus motorcycles had a great design I intend to implement on the Hayabusa
Helium in the tires? I was once looking at that frame and thinking I bet I could drill the frame and make this puppy lighter. Problem is there is no way to know where the load paths are in the frame, drill the wrong place and it will snap under load. Anyone ever seen someone drill the frame?

You would have to go there to get under 500 lbs IMHO

Started out just like every new bird owner.
589. 1st change was shori battery.
Then emissions delete, slip on exhaust, to VH Header, to Titanium exhaust / carbon fiber can, top clamp change to Handlebars saved over 4 pounds.
Started digging out old titanium bolts, and just like my sub 400 pound street legal Zrx this started. However focus has been to keep comfort, and functions.
