What will your approximate total weight savings be? Get some BST CF wheels.
Good question. I haven't tried to add it all up yet. Last year it was 610 pounds, wet. It should be well under 600 this year. I hope, anyway. The front end gained some weight, but I've shaved a fair amount here and there to compensate.
I love the idea of CF wheels, but they don't have the look I want for this bike. I'm trying to thread the needle between classic bobber and modern muscle bike.
Adding up my weights so far it looks like I've lost about 16 pounds. That puts me at about 594. I'll lose a couple more if I can figure out how to form an aluminum seat pan.

Why not fiberglass, composite or carbin? They all gotta be light enough.

I'll get size and weight comparisons once it's done charging.
Yes... You don't want to weigh it before charging. "Dry Weight" vs. "Charged Weight" will make it seem much lighter than it will be after being topped off with electricity!
I have an Antigravity in my other bike... So far so good. With a conventional battery, it would be dead in a month without a tender (the electronics are never really "off" in that bike). I left it in a cold, unheated garage with the battery fully attached for at least three months over the winter without a tender (maybe longer), and it cranked and started like a brand new bike in the spring. We'll see if it can do that year after year...
I have thought about doing a fiberglass seat pan, but the way my seat mounts makes integrating the tabs a little messy. I haven't ruled it out yet, but I'd rather have metal.
13.175 pounds saved! I only estimated 10, so that's great.
More importantly, I gained much needed space for the M.Unit. I may still move the coil into the neck gusset, but if not I wanted to get the brain away from the EMI from the relocated coil.
Got the new M.Unit Blue today. They completely redesigned the chassis. The entire thing is cast aluminum. I've never seen such high quality casting. It's remarkable. The chassis is smaller and lighter and the connector busses are industrial style top-load pushbutton locking.
