Easier to lose 20lbs off the bike, than off the rider,,,, sad but true. Either way,,, it would be interesting to do the math to see what the percentage increase in power to weight ration is. CAt'

Well, I am a lucky guy...because I have lost 30# since February. That plus 20# off the bike pipes...might equal a 7% weight loss based on a 700# bike....
Oh can't wait.........

Bike plus rider/gear = ~900 lbs, so 20 lbs is only 2%. So, not noticeable.

Nice Todd, well done!

Now factor in his expected 6hp gain, Paul. I would expect he will be able to feel total difference. It is not hard to feel the performance differential between having a full fuel load, compared to having 20 liters less on board an ST13. (20 liters is about 32lbs). So I would expect he will easily feel the same performance increase (in the form of torque/acceleration), that I did after installing my Del's. Bonus is that the 2-bros are going to sound better still,,, cheers, CAt'
