So I just brought and installed an Earthx ETX12B battery, quite a pricey battery but its a 2.64kg weight savings, the original battery weighed 3.24kg, and the Earthx weighed 0.6kg, the bike turns over quicker too, and just sitting on the bike and flicking it from side to side feels a bit lighter as well.
So too sum up, the R&G tail tidy and removing the rear footpegs saves 2.27kg, removing the mirrors and end bar weights and using bar end mirrors saves 1.33kg, and the ETX12B battery saves 2.64kg, for a total weight savings of 6.24kg.
I think that's about as far as I can go in the weight savings department without spending huge money on things like light weight wheels, which I'm not going to do, but maybe an exhaust some time down the track, if someone makes a good looking one without a cat.
