Default Frame and Sub Frame Weight savings?

I pretty much have my motor where I want it now and think its time to invest more in lightening the beast, so far I replaces most items with aluminum, grab bar, handle bar, lighten hubs, lighter swing arm, lighter exhaulst, Air box removed, whats left to get another say 40lbs off of her?

how much can be taken off the stock frame I heard it's only 70 lbs is it worth it? and be strong enough for hard dunning? Who makes an Aluminum Sub Frame that will replace stock for stock mounting not racing?

any aftermarket chromoly lighter parts?? Steering stem, A Arms ( Liked Bombers TI Arms) Aluminum Tie Rods?

removed the DS eyebrows also <--thats what my daughter calls them

I am also hearing of of parts being enterchanged from other quads, Banshee front brakes, new carrier for using a lighter weight Banshee axle and hubs

I like to see if she can go down to 400 lbs or better
