the stock exhaust systems usually weigh a ton

Exhaust is the main thing, followed by wheels. Everthing else is not really noticeable.

Trade in your shaft model far a chain drive, leave the wife at home when you go riding Get rid of the HUGE Windjammer fairing...crash bars, engine bars, luggage rack, replace the stock seat with a polyester 1-up racing seat, dump the airbox and asociated gubbins. Take a look at the orange Caf? Racer on my website to give you an idea, I got it down to 440 pounds. And the things mentioned above my post.

Cut back on the carbo's and try to eat less saturated fats. Eat less and wait for your stomach to be saticfied. I find that with this approach I can drop about 50 lbs off the total riding weight before spring without having to rape my bike of parts that belong on it. :P

Sorry, I had to

I dropped 110 pounds off my but in 2 1/2 years in addition to taking stuf of my bike.
I think the weight loss did more for the times than the engine and exhaust work.

I agree with Hoomgar. If you're like alot of us, forget buying Titanium fasteners and carbon fiber parts and all and spend the money at a fitness center and lose more weight (I'm basically talking to myself here) I'm at 258 lbs and so far can only dream of how fast my bike would be if it wasn't having to haul around 30-40 extra pounds. I just wish I'd take my own advice sometimes.

Sorry Slopoke. Forgot to give you credit for the same advice as Hoomgar.

Hoomgar if you take of a part and the bike still goes it's not neccesary. :mrgreen:

The only thing that ever matters to me is that we all make sense while helping one another.

What I do every riding season is get my hair cut, trim my nails and take all the change out of my pockets and all un used keys off my key chain. That's about as far as I get to losing weight and lightening my bike.

[earlfor]

I usually keep 36 pounds of air in my tires, so if I want to street race, I just let out some so there is only 10 pounds in each tire. Thats a quick and easy way to knock 52 pounds off the bike and lower my times.

Over the years, I have taken thousands of pounds off my bikes this way.
