Swing arm and rims alone will save some weight. If you can afford the $$$, carbon fiber rims now days...

Calculate weight, drag, friction, distance of travel...
1/4 mile in about 3 hours... New record! :laugh:
Sorry my KZ brother, I just couldn't resist.
One thing, is that a Ninja 250? Holly smokes, if that's a 600, whoa, that is one big girl! :blink:

I had this set up on my 76 900 for a while and it made a very noticable difference in handling and in braking. Aluminum rims (on a spoked wheel) will also save some weight.

When the "Little Lady" goes with me, I need these.
This set is on my Honda and the 6 piston calipers have a lot of "bling" but they are heavier than need be. They will probably be replaced with a set of 4 piston calipers as I'll lose almost 1.5 lbs of unsprung weight just by changing the calipers to 4 piston calipers.(CB 750 w/ GL 1000 forks)
