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.  ;D

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?

I have some photos of one installed on a really hot custom I finished in '13 or '14.  It's never been posted here.  Photos are on another computer.  Next few days I'll post it up.
