i have a plan to make my lakota at least 400 or under here is a list of what i want to change. this will be my sand machine so it has to lose weight
1. exhaust pipe - 10 pounds
2. rims - 10 pnds
3. paddle tires dont know how much i would loose
4.air box dont know how much either
5. battery dont know
6.front rack and bumper dont know
7.handle bars can anyone tell me what to get that wont bend so easy
8.maybe the heel guards if i feel like breaking my foot [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img]
thats all i can think of can any one help me fill in the blanks so i can figure out how much weight i can loose.

 

The plan sounds good but i have a few more suggestions:
1. take off front and rear rack mount bars.
2. take tool box and mount off if your not using it
3. mud flaps
4. if you want to get serious take off the rear grab bar and shave the plastic.

Renthal bars are nice and durable. www.rockymountainatv.com

As for the heel guards, if you have the tools make your own smaller thinner ones.

Talk to big chris for the total weight loss of all these modds, i remember him doing them before.

 

i lost my tool box a while ago so thats out i will keep the mounts just for support and i use the mud flaps(i dont like to wear what i ride in)and how do i know what handle bars to order

 

O.k, I can't tell you how much weight you can exactly lose, but I can tell that I have definately lost some weight. The fly aluminum handle bars are pretty durable and I found them on ebay. As for the heel guard well they do make aluminum ones, except I have only found them on www.Justatv.com
Good luck on the diet. Let us know if you find out some new stuff that every other lakota owner hasn't.

 

ok i will search ebay i was thinking of some moose ones but rckymnt is all out. that www.Justatv.com site is strange to many colors for me.

 

Hey,

Run A search on "Lakota Weight Loss Program"

I tell what to remove, and about how much it takes off,

Right now I have my Lakota weighing right in at about 400lbs
Take off any thing and everything you don't need!

see my pic's for some Ideas, of whats missing that is!
