I wouldn't recommend the KTM rearsets as you cannot buy spare parts. For the RC390 you cant beat the price and quality of the Tyga rearsets and every single part is available separately.

Thank you.. I had the KTM's on my 2015 cup bike and was able to get open market parts but its a good point. And of course we love Tyga!
Yup. I have actually increased my "spares" stock on hand as well for the Tyga rearsets so that I don't have to worry about having enough spares on hand once all the Novices graduate and start trying to follow the Experts into the turns at the same speed.

So it sounds like you got some extras for Paxton.

Paxton buys his race spares in six packs, so he's covered. This is more for the guys who only need 1 of something.
LOL
We got a smart guy over here. Who needed a sprocket last weekend?So it sounds like you got some extras for Paxton.

Sorry for late reply.. the sides are Hotbodies sides (they are couple pounds lighter than stock panel)
The nose, tail (and belly pan not shown) are Tyga

best weight savings after you remove the stock, expendable parts
cut 4 lbs of excess metal off rear subframe behind seat mounts
replace the factory fairing mount with an Main Frame Stay (tyga or rotweiler, i have used both on different bikes)
CF body is not any lighter than stock..except the side panels.. the lightest side panels are the Hotbodies as they are a single integrated fiberglass piece..
metal + MFS + side panels + remove ABS module, I also cleaned out all the air box plastic and parts, removed all the excess wires and harnesses that were easy to get to, engine screw kit with probolts (half a pound!), replaced the heavy triple clamp and bars with driven parts.. of course CF wheels.. all in all a big drop

I spent a good couple of weekends hunting pounds down and making this bike light as possible (and yes, i'll get on the salads) but one problem i've always had is right turns with my Akra exhaust. Pivoting my foot on the footpeg my heel hits the exhaust hanger and I can't pivot comfortably.
So I got a Yoshi dual undertail exhaust. Hanger problem solved.... all of the weight that I've gotten rid of is now back in the form of a second exhaust pipe I can't even cut off the subframe because that's where it mounts!
Back to salads, I guess..

I'm also on my way to squeeze the last lbs out of the bike. I have some questions to your mods:
- Why do you mix up bodywork and not just take the tyga race nose and Sidepanels? You mentioned that tyga customized the street noise for you, why not just take the race version?
Upper Cowling, Race, GRP, KTM RC125, RC200, RC250, RC390
- which engine screw kit with probolts did you use, where can I get it?
- which triple clamp and bars did you use?
- is there any downside (e.g. dirt, stories/gravel) to remove the air box plastic and parts?
thanks for your feedback!

I have a few 390s and have a variety of race bodies... I weighed each part and used the lightest parts. Hotbodies side panels are one integrated unit made of fiberglass, The stock panels are clamshell panels from ABS and are heavier.
I got the Tyga front nose before it was available in plastic without race so they customized it for me... now its available
screw kit I would not recommend unless u want to get the probolt Ti kit..400$.. I got the aluminum and it is weak
Triple clamp is Tyga
Downside of no airbox is dyno tuning recommended and the filter I use is exposed to water if its raining... so would not recommend it if its your only bike.. I ride a different bike if raining

This is my dilemma as well as I ponder whether a Yoshi dual is worth it. Now I see the new Tyga single high-mount system, and I wonder if it will be better; or will my size 12 heel hit it since it seems to occupy some of the space where the Akra bracket presently resides.

Do the Werkes pipe like shown here... its lighter and completely badass

I can't be certain, but it appears that pipe may interfere even more than the Akrapovic bracket does.
I do not care so much about 'bad ass' and I am not sure what it means in this context. I do appreciate seeing that option; I am just not sure if it will solve the problem.
Thanks!
