Title: 696 vs 620/695 particulars?
Post by: kenrok1 on June 08, 2008, 09:05:37 AM
I've read the brouchure specs, but I'm wondering if anyone has any more detailed info?

Like - what does the old full trellis frame weigh vs. the new frame & subframe,
new swingarm vs old steel swingarm vs old aluminum double sided swingarm, etc.

Seems to me you could shed 15lbs from old one by ditching the charcoal canister, stock exhaust, & tail chop

Shoot I think you can drop 15lbs with the exhaust alone.

was thinking that too - I never weighed mine when I swicthed to DP aluminum low mounts, but they felt a hell of a lot lighter than the stockers & the exhaust on the 696 sure looks a lot trimmer (not a fan of the meagaphone style)

 I just added the CF Termi and there might be a 10 lbs reduction or so from the stock cans.
