After seeing motus motorcycles only uses one lower support I followed suit. Deleting a rear leg on each side. Weight saved 1 lb 7 OZ
Also tucked the bags inwards by cutting, and welding feet or legs back on the front { by seat} then the two remaining rear legs just moved mounts inwards. This tucked each bag in 5/8 " it does not sound like much, but it made for a better look, and may help aerodynamics.

I added this 1/4" J hook to the left bag rack.
It's purpose is a helmet lock. When the Givi bag is locked down you won't be able to take helmet off the hook as bottom of bag acts as the stop. Thought about doing both but exhaust will interfere with helmet.

Six just over 60 lb, but racks / bags on in empty form are 26 lb. I would have to dig out every part again to be exact. Actually take 1 lb 7 OZ off racks now. So 24 lb 9 OZ.
Next January doing wheels. That will save me about 10 lb
 
VaBusa just got back on Saturday from a long trip with my wife in the Ozarks only 1300 miles but it was a real good 1300 miles. Her riding is improving, and the Bandit did great.
