:rolleyes: The rider could always loose a few pounds....Lighter tire wheel combo, shave fenders, one of those lighter morepowerfull bateries, condensing wireing harness, switching to aftermarket a-arms, swingarm, tearing steam, subframe.. A lot of aftermarket chassis parts are made of chromeally (spelling?) which is a lot lighter then steal. Then of couse their is also my goal, an LRD aluminum frame:D

ride naked,
That would save about 10 or more lbs. And just think off all the look's that you would get,
but don't crash
it might hurt

go to your local high school and workout with their wrestling team. i've watched my little brother lose almost 20 pounds in a little over a week trying to cut weight (not healthy). you can go run with them through the desert wearing trashbags and sweatshirts till you collapse. try removing your bikes flex capacitor. that should shave some weight.........:D

What was I thinking when I bought my R. I should have just wedged an R motor in an lt80 frame. I would have the power to weight to clear the biggest leaps. I think the landings might be a little harsh though.
