Thanks for the great thread DL, doing a dry clutch conversion at the moment. Definitely going to look into lighting up the gears like you did. Thanks for the great info.
I'll second that - lots of great info in this thread for serious weight weenies like me.
It’s Stuart Baker, not Smith.
AL subframes are gone but I can put anyone in touch with the guy that built them for me. I know my welding limits and that is way beyond my talent.
Weight savings versus a non-tail-chopped S2R1000 frame is: 5.5#. You do, however completely lose the capacity to ride two-up. They’re designed for max weight savings...
My apologies, Stu; I knew that, and I have no idea where I got "Smith" from. It's great to see you're still on the board - do you have any pics of that subframe? How did it attach?
