you can't really reduce weight of the cb significantly, and then it is equipped with high quality parts

I had mine down to 487 with a full 4.7 gal tank and dual exhaust.
Swing-arm and exhaust are the bulk of the fat.

It was a very pricey diet.........

Stand by.....I think it's all going to go soon. My dog just got back from her 2nd $3800 knee surgery of the year.

I'll list the stuff here first then ebay if no takers.

1 gal gas = 6lbs x 4.7 = 28
so dry that would be about 460 lbs ...compared to stock of 517lbs.
That's good, lost 57 lbs?

I believe stock is 540 Wet, if you have ABS.

Yes, I corrected my post above to be 517 dry based on Cycle World specs and test

Does anyone know how much the full stock exhaust system weighs?

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!
