i've got a motomaster on mine - never thought to check its weight.

for those with money, yoyodyne has a Ti rear brake rotor.

Ducati stock rear rotor=940g
Lightened one (mine at least)=620grams
Galfer rotor=576g
Vortex rear sprocket=410g  46t 520 for a marvic wheel

so there it is about a pound just with rotor.  I don't know what a stock sprocket weighs, don't have any, but it's gotta be 2x what the vortex does.  you could get even more weight off of the stock sprocket by facing/thinning it. [bacon]

Thanks for posting the weights for the rotors.  It is good to know what the advantages to the various options are. 
Man, it has been a long winter; too much time to think about the "what if I did this...".

I have an ABM that I'll weigh this weekend.  I'm looking to sell it after that [bacon]

Here is one that the mech that built my Monster, did on his bike.


Woohoohoohoo! Two personal records! For breath holding and number of sharks shot in the face.

my monster lost nearly 5.5 lbs when I did the rotor, 520 chain and sprocket.   [thumbsup]
