re: FZ6 "Black project"! Now with Spy Video!
I think i forgot to mention earlier...i weighed all the nuts and bolts i took off the bike, and either replaced with titanium, or are no longer required on the bike...
Total weight of the nuts, bolts, washers, etc, taken off the bike was 1.6kg, but the cool bit is that the titanium nuts, and bolts i have replaced them with only weigh a total of 400grams...
In total, so far about 75 bolts have been replaced with titanium, and about another 30 bolts no longer have a purpose, or need to be on the bike.
Area's where bolts have been replaced - engine bolts on both sides, brake caliper mount bolts, triple clamp bolts on the top and bottom, sub-frame bolts, handlebar mounts, rider controls, exhaust header nuts, rear sprocket nuts, and a few other bits and pieces.
next will be titanium axles, i have found a guy locally who will make the axle's for me. These should shave a little bit more weight off again.
But today, is headlight install day!
