Does anyone know how much weight it saves?

Hi Douglas,
I've been away from this forum for some time and only just stumbled onto your post.
The alloy sbframe in itself saves a bit of weight, but when added to the fact that you've lost the pillion seat pad/pad cover, fold out grab handles, pillion footrests and then if you fit a carbon/Kevlar single seat unit it all adds up to a worth while modification.
However doing all of this isn't cheap, when I look at the rear end of my bike it doesn't take long to get close to £1,000 inc' paintwork.
