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...

I believe gas weighs around 6-8lbs depending on its blend and the temp. But a good average is a normal gas pump 92 octane blend at around 70 degrees weighs about 6.25 lbs.
So, if you have a full tank and he OP had half a tank, then there is over 12lbs right there.
