What’s going on white the fork seal?
 
It's an o-ring installed during assembly so I can monitor travel instead of using a zip tie :p Good eye though! Took a bit of a spirited ride after that pic, O-ring didn't indicate bottoming so I'm a happy camper. 100mm travel used, so most of the stroke with room to get a bit frisky still :p

Pegs are great themselves, phenomenal grip, actually a touch too good. The only weird thing is adjusting to the new distance to the shift peg, will take some retraining of my left foot.

66 lb savings on exhaust? Doesn't sound right.

Weighed one - 26lb, so 52lb for the mufflers, 9 for headers, crossbox, and stock overbuilt hangers, 61ish total. Pretty shocking right?m

Sort of frustrates me a bit that they made no attempt whatsoever at saving any weight anywhere on the rocket, none.
 
Since im thinking weight again...

Fixed and reinstalled my carbon front fender :).

Removed the top steering nut above the triple tree and replaced with a smexy Alu one from probolt that’s been sitting around for a year :).

Going to put on my rear axle Ti nut now.

570 would be amazing!! I think the lowest an R3 can be brought down to without replacing major components is probably around 620 race weight, and that’d require some permanent changes/cutting extra bits off.
have you looked at the all aluminium swingarm from australia ....
