The swing arm and front and rear spindle bolts are solid mild steel very heavy items, with ti items in place i think i will save 1.0 -1.2 kilo grams over the 3 , then the inner bearing spacers 2 in the rear one in the front , the back engine bolt and the other too foot peg bolts, all adds up a titainium bolt is roughly half the weight of the steel bolt from the stuff ive weighed on the bike. When ive finished sweeping bolts off the garage floor i'll weigh them, not all will be needed on the track bike build and some will be swapped for ti or aluminium for fairing fasteners . From memory The sprocket nuts were .48 grm the ti ones were .23grm so weight saved 120grm rougly do this in 9 places on the bike and thats another kilo gone, i left the hockey stick bolts as there high tensile.
really easy areas to drop weight = exhaust , battery , front disc , rear disc, and rear sprocket feom memory you should see around 7 kilo's depending on replacements and its not just the weight but where the weight is around the bike .
