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?

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?

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.
