I thought you already had one rotor? With 2 rotors and a full size tank you are probably closer to 430 lbs or so...more with a full tank.

No, running two. Gotta remember, this front tire is probably 3 lbs lighter than yours alone.....

Thats why I put this thread up. I just cant see it...., but the scales measured me at 180 suited up in full gear, and my buddies heavy busa at 515.

We for sure will do some checking next time we can get to a scale. But really, I did drop 15 lbs taking that HP shifter set up off, and swapping arms......

My front tire is about 8.5 lbs...

I run a 120/60 Pliot Power up front, and a Power Race out back.

My bike has the BST and a single rotor. The stock 14 rotor is lighter than the Braking Wave, and likely the Galfer as well. I will probably be moving some weight up front. Next month I should be in sem-complete status for a weigh-in on the 14.

I run a 90/80 front tire. I did weigh the galfer rotors, but my bathroom scale is not high tech, no difference there.

A stock front wheel, with a 110/70 tire on it, no rotors or bolts, with bearings......

weighs what my front wheel now weighs, ready to bolt on........, with both rotors.

I am thinking of taking it off if I have time, just to see, but I have trouble staying slow enough for the 9.50 index as it is.......


Like I said, I wish I would have had time to take Bill or Joe down to the scales with me to do some checking. Looks like it was within 10 lbs at least from what everyones suited weight was etc, I have a friend that has a 400 lb busa, he claims.

It will be interesting to see how much lighter your 12 is than my 14. I'm sure the 14 motor is considerably heavier...

Well, i have been talking with several people. I know they are heavy, and I think somthing had to be off, but talking about it does nothing until we get on some more scales........

Well, I am going to Tulsa next week. We will scale it there, and the busa I was talking about is going with me. We will see. If the scales had not shown me at 180 suited, I would have tossed out the figure as the scales being off. If they were off that much, they should have shown me to be about, what......., 140 suited, or something.......

It showed everyone else close to correct, so we will see. I just wanted opinions to see.

Well, the scales were not open at Tulsa........

But, I was one of the last 4 standing in Super Street when the rain hit. We took our payout and left.

Poor Joe had some goon on a black busa tattoo him on the tree.........

And, the Gr8pumkin got a AR style wiffle ball bat beat down in the pits......TWICE.

Well......

495 with my 5 lbs of extra weight I had on the bike......., same scales at noble....., wind was blowing about the same......., not sure what was up...., but for a while, it showed my buddies zzr at the last race at 425, and we know that aint right either.......

That seems more right to me...., but, that would make it 490, ready to go .......

I guess that extra oil in the coby pan hurts it a little, and I run the fuel on the 2nd bar........

That seems about par...........

In the kanuder valve........

It hurt me, I should have taken it out, and did not have time......, it probably cost me the round I lost, as the way I had it affecting the chassis, was giving me some issues, but depending on conditions, sometimes I need it......

My basically stock 12 was 510 lbs with half a tank and a full exhaust. My 14 is 462 with 3 gallons of gas, at 64"...with a lot of lightweight parts.

Thats the thing, I would have thought it to be down around 475 or so..........., but, I know yours is way stripped too, from us talking on the phone........, so I guess the catalyst tank is back on the wish list...........LOL
