[QUOTE="jmutiger, post: 682473, member: 25208"] Does anyone have any clue as to how much weight you can reasonably shave off a new MX bike? I'm thinking -Ti Springs -nylon bolts to hold on side panels and trailing edge of fender bolts -alum bolts for triple clamps -removing of crossbar on handlebars -cutting of seat plastic in centre of seat -lighter silencer -alum nipples if the bike doesn't already have them -trim fenders possibly -remove excessive brake protective plastic -Clarke tank, which will lower the centre of gravity as it hangs lower -remove rear brake res. and simply run a long clear hose which you keep full, the hose can compensate for volume change by being extra thin, and actually collapsing (this might be an issue, but I haven't tried it) I think I see about 10lbs at the most. Any other ideas? This isn't my idea of what to do to my bike, but just something for us to banter and argue about. Jon [/QUOTE]
