Thanks for all your feedback but have any of you any of the above modifications to your bikes or are these just opinoins from what has been read?

From what i understand putting magnesium wheels on the bike will reduce the weight by 5kg but this is unsprung weight which equates to 30kgs on the bike so obvouisly this will make a difference to turn in and every other handling aspect and performance how can that not be a good thing??

How much do you weigh? go on a diet!

Ive got the slipper, and the light weight wheels (999R)
Full 57mm termi and pc111R..............They all make a difference, but people still pass me on the track!


That's cos you're slow fatty :P
