zx14fan,
I'm pretty sure he covered that in his comprehensive post.
Check his TOS (Table OF Contents), or 'Index' as posted.
Nonetheless he might pop in and link you to the page, or some other poster will link it up for you.

I don't remember the exact #'s (they are in the thread, and in the part that can be referenced through the TOC). But it is around 22 lbs between front, rear, and removing one rotor and the associated caliper.

When i did the BST wheels on my 2006 14 we saw a 21 pnd diff. This was comparing wheels with no discs but with sprockets and hubs included. Of all the skoots we have done lightweight wheels the 14 loses the most. The Busa's lose about 16 pnds and the GSXR'S lose bout 12.
The 14 has the heaviest wheels that we have been able to weigh (there are skoots we have not been able to weigh tho), so the handling improvement was phenominal, along with better acceleration and braking.

Here is the page where I have the weights:
http://www.bikeland.org/board/viewthread.php?FID=27&TID=40269&pagenumber=26
Add around 6.5 lbs of additonal weight loss from dropping one front brake. Looks like about 21 lbs, like Ray said.
