Long on the search for little places here and there to save weight I decided to replace my fork protectors and get weights this time:

Finally replaced the ones broken last year, but this time with twill instead of plain, twill wasn’t available back then, matchy matchy to the carbon dry stuff now :)

They come as zero offset, 25mm, or 40mm arms so you can adjust your foot position, moved them 45 degrees back and down to start, grip is excellent on my boots.

An m8 washer will take up any slop and make em feel perfect. Now to do something about the clunky heavy stock foot control arms.

I have a sh*t before I ride. I reckon I save about 1/2 a kilo!

Seriously though, apart from the exhaust and air intake, replacing the rims with carbon fibre would be the biggest weight saving. At a price though.

Light weight disks would help a bit.

Indicators.

Carbon fibre guards and side covers.

The law of diminishing returns hits with a vengeance.

Going on a diet would make more difference.

Anything I have missed?
