Been trying to get photos up but I think some of the good ones are too big To load ????????? someone may be able to help ?

Anyway this is my beast in road form : 140 at the rear and 27 kgs off the weight !!!! Gaz.

[fimpBIKES]

If you don't know how to resize them yourself Gaz, send them to me or Large. We'll do it for you.

Ditch those stock headers and you can lose another 20...

The fairing 'S' model is 5 kg heavier than the naked.

The headers are yoshie items ...8 lbs instead of about 17lbs !!! Stockers are double skinned and have a very small internal dia giving good low/midrange but hurting the top end. Surprising how much everything weighs when added up. G.

Snice bike Gaz.That centre stand would weigh a bit!No pillions eh?

[Gix11]

I reckon you should loose the rear guard as well, even more weight saved.......

[deafwish]

Very tidy Bandito!
Like the look you have done......
Is there a head light or is it a funny photo angle?

[RUSS M8]

Very noice Bandit! Are they stock carbies? And could you run through some of the other weight saving ideas?

yep stock carbs but with stage 3 dynojet kitand pods. H/light is an Acerbi halogen twin spots.Weighs nothing. Carbon bits and accessory seat come from Coerce (jap, I think ?) Muffler hanger I made from sheet ali. Other weight saving is either removed parts or lighter items like the full exhaust . Headers alone saved 4 kgs ! No air box. For bike meets I remove evrything I can ,stands, instruments etc and next time the alternator (3.6kg) Gaz.

Drop the motor mate, that'll reeally bring the fat bitch down on the scales, and you won't have to worry about running out of island anymore. :D

Have you looked at doing something with the discs? Exben should be able to give you some idea of the weight difference between yours and the buzz saws he makes.

I put full sintered pads into the Geeps the other month, and they grip well, but I think they put back on half the weight I'd already taken off. And Titanium headers are the way mate, they weigh less than Paris Hiltons brain.

This is a shot taken a few sundays ago , heading over the Rimutuka ranges for Breakfast. You'd think at 57 I would have stopped this stuff wouldn't ya ? NOPE ! Gaz

[roogazza]

Chalk, if I could just take 5 or 6 kgs off the waistline I wouldn't have to worry about the bike so much !!!!!! Gaz.
ps. like you, this is only the start. Keep ya posted.
