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.........

1 gal gas = 6lbs x 4.7 = 28Ack-CB11_imp said:
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 testkevbroce_imp said:

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!

A good taxidermist could fix that for you at half the price.Ack-CB11_imp said: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.lola_imp said:waiting on your for sale post for any goodies you might have left AckAck-CB11_imp said:

True, but the knee would be stuffed then, wouldn't it?

Funny stuff. You know some good points made. What's the point of trying to chisel weight off the motorcycle if the riders over weight? Never really considered it from that perspective but makes sense if your talking about performance. Now if you just like the feel of a lighter bike then I get it.
Would you be able to lighten the bike enough to tell the difference. I'd guess not.
The CB1100 does have some heft to it but seems to handle it well.
Now to the dog. Hope it wasn't two surgeries to the same knee. If it had been your knee it would have been $50,000 (or more) so maybe that makes you feel better.
It's been estimated that a dog over it's life time will cost ya $10,000 not saying it's not worth it because I've always had dogs but it does run into some bucks.
