Weigh all your bolts you have now and subtract 40%
So around a pound or two.

Look at it this way, I can get Ti hardware for just a hair more (if any) than OEM hardware all new. So I might as well step up to the Ti stuff. 1-2 lbs isn't much, I agree...

i was just hoping to save at least 5+ pounds. for two to three pounds and not being as strong makes me reluctant. but, i cant overlook the benefit of not worrying about corrosion.

unless i was dreaming, i saw them on there this morning, but can't find them now. they were listed as 250r a-arm bolts. not that it matters, if they're not ready they're not ready...
