Weight Reduction Options
Weight Reduction Options
Several people have already put a dent in the tank-like weight of our chariots. (Sprung or unsprung weight) I'm curious--what did you do, other than:
Remove the factory subwoofer
Remove the spare tire/tools
Remove, reduce, and/or relocate the battery
Remove the back seat
Remove the factory subwoofer
Remove the spare tire/tools
Remove, reduce, and/or relocate the battery
Remove the back seat

Frank,
Look into these items as well:
-Lightweight 2-pc rotors and lightweight 4 pot/6 pot calipers
-Lightweight 3-pc forged wheels
-Have the drive shaft and flywheel custom made out of lightweight material
-Swap out your radiator fans for Flexilite radiator fans or any other slim, lightweight fan
The first 3 items are unsprung weight which greatly increases performance.
GL!
