every single bolt even the fairing and brake bolts has been drilled, total loss with the cdi under guage cluster for less loom ( cluster made from aluminium as well ) no starter, drilled every unnessacery pice of weight off it how ever i can still shed a bit from rear tail assy, no flywheel, even has a 190 rear wheel ( + in weight 
) light weight farings, no airbox etc, skimed foam from seat, all casting slag removed, aluminium blank sproket, braded lines including rear suspension res line ( havnt fitten this shock yet how ever ) light weight prosport LITE temp guage .... it seriousley just keeps going
i said id shed pounds before gaining power ( thus giving me time to get my exp up - im determend to build a 444 eating 400 )

Good stuff.
I need to remember to weigh mine at some point, as it's in standard trim for what is probably the last time. Need a reference weight to see how much the stuff I have planned saves.
I think I'll probably pass on drilling the brake bolts though

lol, they were done bythe guy before me and he ran 2 seasons ( even 3 races with 444 kit - then snaped a rod 
) with them drilled and didnt have a problem, they havnt got much taken out, i beleve is 4mm from a 10mm bolt, all the rear suspension bolts and engine mount bolts are done too 
lol but the bigest saving was the swing arm bolt

That's all nice, but how much do YOU weigh?
I lost about 10kg in weight last year and all my bikes were faster
But I did hae to buy lots of new clothes and leathers though..
Anyone else notice how Rossi is now wafer thin (like a waif!) on the 800s now, compared to his muscliness on the 990s? That's dedication. Mind you, looks like his best mate Ucchio to eats all the pies now!
