    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Again, I will be posting these and more numbers on my site so you can always refer to them later.
 
I would be interested in knowing the weight difference from stock to conversion on the 1100. Great info!!
 
Joe, my calc with gsxr wheels, frontend and 530 chain...24 lbs of weight loss

Add a V&H header to that and you can subtract at least another 20 lbs bringing a katana from 511 lbs to about 467 lbs. Add a bandit swingarm and some bracing a conservative weight would still be 470 or under.

From Rob's figures I believe I've got the weight of my bike down from about 460 lbs dry into the 410-415 lb range. Possibly more with a few of the other things I've done to the bike.

Rob,

Also I converted to 520 and replaced the stock rear sets with zx12r's, I am also replacing the front master cylinder with a plastic remote gsxr resovoir, smaller handle bars, removing centerstand, b12 brake stay is lighter.....as soon as this thing is back together, I'll take it to San Antonio Speedway and have it weighed....my guess is 30-40 lbs lighter overall similar to what Billy Ricks quoted.

Oh yeh, forgot to take the center stand weight off the total. I also have removed the center stand mounts for another pound or so.

I think 40.00 over all is a reasonable estimate in weight loss. I think the stock pipes are more than 30.00 lbs myself but am keeping the estimate on the conservative side.
 
I have the weights posted on my site now. in the tech under conversions
