Hi there, Is it OK to hijack an old thread? I like to reuse threads after all the topic is pretty similar...
I have slightly different conditions though:
Weight reduction and budget is not unlimited, rather on the sane and frugal level.
So, being a new owner for Savage, the first thing that was obvious for me: things are massive and thick heavy steel. Almost all my previous bikes had thin pressed steel or plastic fenders and here i see a lot of weight.
So what do you guys think, how much pounds, kilos, stones you can get rid of by:
- dropping rear seat, fender, the mounting subframe
- dropping the airbox, covers, toolkit locker etc from under the seat
- maybe swap out the front fender if it's not crucial for the stability of the forks.
Thanks, let me know if it should be rather posted as a new thread.
