Well the SD is on a diet.
So far she lost:
50% weight on front fender.
40% weight on the RR Hugger (would have been more but I did the 10cm longer version)
Heel guards were about same weight, maybe 10% reduction (they were thick )
The mask is stated at 50%, but not installed yet.

I am guessing about 500g reduction.

Nice. Or you could've just done a big poo.

Carbon looks better than Poo but point taken.

I will weigh the parts I took off and calculate the weight loss based on the % stated on the KTM web site.
I don't feel like removing the carbon and weighing it.
It is mostly single layer and very light.
I believe the stated percentages are conservative.

Maybe 2 big Poo's.

Love the Remus pipes on yours.
I have Remus on my SP1 and Ape.
Could not fork over the cash on the SD.

Bet they sound killer.
