Footpegs rear and brackets 1060g
You won't save a heap on changing the bars to the Renthals and the std bars only weigh 640g which is pretty light for steel bars, but you will save a bit. Renthal ultra lows going on mine because I want to lower and move my body more forward and they are my favorite bars. The bars ends are seriously heavy and can go. No need for the bar end weights though as the engine doesn't vibrate much anyway and the renthals have a ureathane piece down the middle to help damp vibration anyway.
If you aren't a style fanatic, the right plate that bolts on to the swingarm pivot does pretty much nothing. It's there as a fake aluminium frame member. Mine's gone. The left one acts as a bit of chain crud fling protection and in case the chain breaks so I have left it there for the time being until I can fabricate a light but capable replacement.
Rear seat is going and I will replace with a carbon fibre cover when I get a chance to make one. stock seat weight 730g. Carbon ones usually weiigh about 100 or less depending on how I make them.
Changing to an Ohlins shock but suspect lot a lot of weight difference as the spring is usually the majority of the weight but we will see. The Ohlins on by BMW weighed only 100g different from the std Sachs steel pogostick. Lost that with the addition of gold valves to the front. The MT07 will get the same treatment.
