Here is my old/new bike which is an 08. I wanted to buy the '12 model, but things didnt work out, so I decided to convert my bike into a streetfighter. Having the bike for the past 3 years was great and every year saw improvements. Guess I suffer from 'bike anorexia' like many and take every opportunity to lighten things up. Started with battery, next the wheels, then the front brake caliper. Had the single caliper for the past year and it suits me just fine. A bit more pressure, but she stops on a dime. As you can see removed the subframe and made my own. Cut the seat in half ,wrapped the vinyl and stappled on the back. I think I'll modify the seat further by removing some foam from the back to make it more comfortable for the nuts. All lighting are LED. Dont know the current weight, but the front fairing was pretty heavy. I substituted with aluminum and some left over plastics. The pipe was a muzzy which I cut down a bit and fit a SS cup along with aluminum tips to deflect the gasses more downward. Had been out about a week and it feels more agile.
