I'm interested to see how people are shedding weight from their bikes.
I was reading the battery thread and saw that it's nearly 4 lbs lighter than the stock battery.
So, Lithium Ion battery pack - 4LBS savings
What else can we do to shed weight from the bikes without turning it into a race bike.
Replacing the plastic bits such as the chain guard and fairing covers with carbon fiber bits is negligible.
I know replacing the muffler with a titanium system sheds major weight.
Let's get a list going of the mods and the weight savings.
Carbon Fiber wheels?
Carbon ceramic brake rotors?
Chain conversion?
Lithium Ion Battery?
Who has the lightest bike? The lightest street bike?
