Shaving Some Weight Off the 08

[BA BUSA]

The rear sets look cool

Wow them rear sets look alot better..

Finally got the rear sets back from the chromer. Before and after pictures. Camera sucks so doesn't show the true chrome but they are awesum. This weekend I can start getting the bike back together with all the other goodies I have gotten over the past 6 months.

 

[Got-Busa?]

How much weight did it drop...?

 

[Sannosuke]

This is going to be a nice unit! Can hardly wait for the finished product!

 

[Mr Bogus]

I put these on in June (Greg at HPC had the deal)

Weight savings even after chrome 1.75 pounds total. Not bad. Suzuki could go over this bike and do allot to save weight, they built it like a tank
My thought is a pound here and there is easier than me getting on a treadmill

Bling Bling. Very nice look. I definitely like the new look of the fronts. My hat goes off to your idea, i like it. Nothing like having 1 off parts. Those will be the topic of discussion at your local bike night for sure. For those who pay attention to detail will notice the new look right away. I think you maybe onto something new here. Thanks for sharing.

Aluminum weighs slightly less than 0.1 lbs per cubic inch.
You removed 18 cubic inches of material???

Nice wheels Randy!

Pull them off and you will see how thick they are especially the rear ones, they are thick and heavy what I don't show you is what we did on the back side. Allot of carving almost to the point of structure weakness....ALMOST.

Keeping the bike under wraps until done which will be in a few weeks. Here is just a small sneak peek
