I wouldnt mess wit rims. Carbon rims are super expensive, like $2000 or somethin just for a couple lbs way down low.

All good Ideas, but I would think it would be cheaper to buy a different bike such as a KTM, GasGas, or Husky.

Free Weight saving. Removed strap from seat. Cut rear fender/license plate holder. Remove passenger pegs. Remove smog stuff. Cut unnecessary metal tabs from frame. Remove chain guard. Removed kick stand side switch.

I am sure there is more.


This might help.
