Lighter a-arms, lighter swingarm, no front brakes, no battery, no starter, lightweight wheels, new hubs, 520 chain, triple buff paddles, and atkins for the driver.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

I removed the front fenders to save 5 lbs off of the front of the ATV, and switched to an HMF slip on instead of the stock exhaust to save 5 lbs off of the back of the ATV.

Not scary fast, but alot faster. The gearing helped, but even with my big butt setting on the gas cap I couldnt keep the front end down. The bike was hooking up very well.

As for adding weight to my quad. Dont think its possible. The jockey of my quad carries enough extra weight around now.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

My bike is going on a diet soon.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]
