While this would certainly be nice, I also have doubts that this was accurate.
At the last ASRA round I weighed my RC which has every possible weight reduction thing done to it including Ti bolts and carbon everything...
It was weighed 3 times in a row, with a low of 397 and a high of 399.5.
This was with almost a full tank- there was fuel visible at the top of the filler.
*I can envision taking another 15 lbs off using Ti engine mounts and spacers, axles, and pivots, as well as Magnesium or Carbon wheels.*
*Also, I was using Erion canisters which are not light, so that could free up 3-4lbs.*
As you know, the ASRA scales are calibrated at each event and are used to determine legality of machines. I was a bit disappointed to see that all the time and money I spent making the bike light still put it roughly on par with a SuperStock style 1098...
