Where to start?
My zost is already MUCH lighter, and the cat or whatever thingie has been removed.
I'll also remove the 2 steel handlebars on the sides.
.........Where else??
ABS Pump removal I guess can also be an option??
Lighter Battery, is there something like that available or not really??
And??
That's about it??
I guess there are many more small stuff that you can do, but then it becomes an obsession, paying R 1000 to spare 100 grams. Dis sommer net jagsgeit.

I want to "play around" with the old cow this winter:

1) Do something with that wipgat rear fender dingetjie.......maybe fit something "Acerbis like" at the rear
2) Lose the front fender - dis fokken AAKLIG'
3) Get some sakkies and kakkies attached everywhere - I like sakkies.

I see her Dry Weight is 225 kg........if I remove that zost thngie (already did), muffler (already did), ABS (to do), those steel luggage frames (to do), and a couple other bits and bobs (pillion seat, rear footpegs, etc etc).............??
How near to 200kg (Dry) can one get without re-inventing the wheel??
