[QUOTE="DennisJ, post: 1337788, member: 21042"] Where is the weight reduction going to come from? If 1/8 mile or 1/4 mile performance is what you want then the saddlebags are easy to remove. A shorter windshield tilted back (Rifle blocks?) I think the fairings are well optimized so you don't gain anything removing them except more drag. Rider weight reduction may be an alternative. I lost 40 lbs. after my 2012 accident. Was around 195 and 6 ft even' made a huge difference in my insulin requirements and I think the front end is lighter on the 1 - 2 shift when I have poor judgement. If there are other weight reduction possibilities that don't adversely affect the touring capabilities, comfort and just plain fun of the FJR I am interested but don't see the need for greater acceleration.
