I think it was Dirtwheels. It went into detail about all the things that they removed and lightened and they ended up getting it under 250lbs if I remember right. Could someone scan and post that?

Sounds like a all aluminum CR cylinder with powervalve assembly removed will be as close as you could get to that mugen cylinder. A nikisil bore with that YZ piston, plus the CR ignition system? Yamahond aman what do you tihnk of those CR cylinders setup for the atc bottom end? Yay or nay?
Oh yeah billy, and you better pony up for a Titanium bolt kit for your entire bike. I hear ti bolts in the engine alone can save 3lbs.

I think a complete aluminum frame/swingarm would be the be all and end all to lightening a trike.

Rofl I was thinking about a Ti swingarm bolt till I seen the price for a piece of hex stock on mcmaster car 24 inches long was about $300I think I'll stick with aluminum

So for around 2700 bucks you save 30 pounds? And that was back in the day..I wonder how much those parts go for now? If you can even find them..
