Weight Loss Program

[thessler3_imp]

I don't see many straight answers to the original question. The CB1100 is a bit porky. The stock, non ABS 2013 CB1100 is about 530 lbs wet, with just a bit of gas. If I wanted to lighten mine, I suggest the following:

1) TI exhaust with no cat could save about 15 lbs.

2) Lighter 17" wheels - save about 20 lbs.

3) TI axles, nuts and bolts - about 7 or 8 lbs.

4) Shorai battery - about 5 lbs.

5) aluminum body shocks - about 5 or 6 lbs.

All these are rough estimates taken from other bikes I have lightened. Many of these mods are very expensive.

I intend to add the Arrow slip-on which is stainless, not TI and aluminum shocks and will report on the weight savings. I do weigh 265lbs, so everything is relative!
