Well, I went on a diet, and lost about 5 lbs. Then, took of the passenger grab bars & hardware, the passenger footpegs with brackets and hardware, seat and helmet lock and hardware, and pulled rubber plug from air box. Added a rear seat cowl which helps hold the seat in place. Haven't added up the weight loss, but would guess about 2 lbs. Any other ideas on throwing off something not essential (forget about the center stand, it has to stay!) thanks! Keith
There was a good thread similar to this question regarding if money were no object, how could I decrease the weight... lemma see if I can find it... Ahh, here you go... http://vfrworld.com/forums/modifica...eight-reduction.html?highlight=weight+savings
trying that route myself. it's working for RW but not so much for me yet. I still havent given up the beer, though.
far easier to pay to lose weight on the motorcycle, than to work on my own spare tire!:biggrin: not to start another tire thread mind you :biggrin:
I weight 120lbs without gear. I'm working on this new diet: Binge during lunch & salad & a small meal for supper...I think it's working. will weight myself once a week to check!
