He did at Oulton, as he is now running twin Brembo Clubman discs, with radial 4-pad calipers
Steel tank is a big weight saving on the plastic ones be it a Monster Steel tank or a 916 tank like Dallas's. His Inconel exhaust mated to a carbon can is probably one of his biggest weight saving advantages over many of the bikes on the grid.
Although most of the guys that have done the Class A winning over the years have bikes weighing a fair few Kilos more than Dallas's
