Well after an awesome weekend I have gone on a weight saving exercise and discovered the cheapest option out there.

After what seems like forever trying to sort out an ali swingarm, I have taken the back out of the bike again, thinking I'm looking to shave a few hundred grams, good start.

Have been getting nagged about cleaning it, so while I had easy access... And wouldn't you know it, I think I might have saved another 9-10Kg.
Thanks for the idea Bimjob! (have I spelt that right? B or R?)

You haven't been chopping exhausts off have you Andy

Not yet, the exhaust is the next project.
This was just removing what looked like 15 years of dirt, and all the ivy growing in it
