Managed to take about 10 kilos off my gen1 by the following means. Beowolf end can - 3 kg, R1 forks - 2.5 kg, remove the AIS - 1kg, fitted renthal alloy bars minus the end weights i just put alloy plugs in, changed to braided hoses race style, eliminating the heavy connecting block on the bottom yoke, removed the heavy & useless weights under the passenger footrests. Fitted a R6 shock almost 1kg saved. Just when i thought i had got everything i found yet another useless weight behind the left hand heel guard. I can really feel the difference particularly at the front end. This has become an obsession now and i have just taken the toolkit out, well i am in the AA. Removing the bar end weights did not result in any increased vibes.
