I junked the electric start system along with the large battery, replaced most of the steel items with aluminum, removed excess lugs from the frame, lightened engine flywheel, replaced all non load bearing bolts and fasteners with aluminum items and all load bearing bolts with titanium items. clipons are an aluminum and titanium unit, I machined up the wheel spacers and oil tank spacers out of aluminum as well and all sorts of other bits and pieces have been shaved or drilled in some way or another. Half an oz here and there starts to add up when its all taken into account and its interesting to note just how much all the nuts and bolts that go into a motorcycle weigh.
