I wanna find out how light some of your bikes are.
My last bike I built was a vtr 1000. I took it from 470 lbs dry to 350 wet. And thats without light wheels.
My m900 motor weighs 147 lbs with oil. Im running rc51 forks and a buell ztl system up front.
Chromoly swinger and fox shock
Im shooting for 300lbs dry. Not sure if its possible with the stock lead tank.
So WHAT DOES YOUR BIKE WEIGH?
03 800/859. 341 wet, before the BrakeTech ceramic rotors. ;)
is it going to get lighter when u start shedding some ceramic and rubber?

only if you show me a spec of sand on ur bike, oh and your odometer reading....make that two. one now, one next year.
For Kop, cause you missed it the first time:
oh and my bike weighs what is advertise stock + about 10lbs of grime. Are you going to call bull shit on me cause i took 2.5 lbs off the clutch and got clip ons?
Here we go [popcorn]
I must have missed part 1 of this battle, but 300# is going to be difficult (impossible in my mind) with what you have to work with. 470# - 350# is pretty impressive, although I would want to see the scale before paying on any bets.
420 lbs. with full tank of fuel and CoreTech sport tail pack in place.

Ti frame would get you well on your way to 300. The company I saw making them claim 9lbs for the frame...

Who is making them? Arcfab is no more so is there someone else?
My race monster, (in my avatar) weighs in at 350lbs. right now. That's with stock wheels. I have some plans this winter: 900 motor, fab an aluminum subframe, race wheels. I too would like to get to 300lbs. but it's going to be near impossible.
only the front half of my frame is Chromoly. After the rear engine mount its thin wall aluminum.
The VTR has extensive weight cutting, like a 5 lb aluminum fuel tank
Just weighed a customers 2007 S2R1000:
Rear wheel: 211
Front wheel: 207 with about a gallon of fuel in it
Stock bike down to the emission stickers, cans, fork reflectors, etc.
I'm shooting for 340 with fuel but would be perfectly happy with 350-360.

With all of this exotic parts talk.
You may not want to know what my lowly 696 weighs with oil, battery, and the low fuel light on ;D

2007 M695
~ half tank fuel
~ Termi low CF pipes
R = 194lbs = 51.1%
F = 186lbs = 48.9%
Total = 380lbs
With me geared up on the bike and a slightly different fuel load:
R = 54.6%
F = 45.4%

I only know a total weight because I rolled it onto a freight scale.
With added oil cooler and sliders, oil, battery, and the low fuel light on, she's down to........345 lbs ;D
Lots of stuff removed, changed to CF, or to lighter componets, the difference between the stock cans and the Mivv total carbons is huge 'cause they are CF in and out except for the center tube.
The Ohlins is quite a bit lighter than the stock steel bodied rear shock, and the stock rotors with steel carriers weighed a ton. The DP sprocket, EK chain, and Spiegler rear rotor, and loosing the tail helped even more. Both Rizoma mirrors weigh about the same as a single stock unit. I'm waiting on the Bitubo Damper but should be able to make up for that addition once a few more vendors start offering rearsets.
My goal is to match the advertised 355 lb dry weight ready to ride with a full tank :)
