Say what you will, but here's what I'll be bolting my fenders on with:

Jason,
You have got to wire all those bolts together otherwise the little holes will be redundant!
Yours helpfully,
Clive

Overkill! but truly "function" minded.

I love it

Sick, but I love it!

Here you thought the holes were for safety wire, of course you're completely wrong, they are drilled just to save more weight!!!;):lmao::D

Jason

looks kick ass Jason...
can you put them all on a scale to see the difference from stock.

Chris.

All I have is a digital bathroom scale, not sure if it will be to acurate at low numbers but I'll try.

Jason

Don't you have a kitchen scale? That would work.

Nice bolts, btw, I am curious as to how much weight you are saving.

The weights are +/- 1gram, as the scale only wieghs in 2 g increments, but it's close enough for what we are looking at here.

Lightweight - 4(fenders) x 9(bolts/fender) x 6(grams/bolt) = 216g

Stock - 4(fenders) x 9(bolts/fender) x 16(grams/bolt) = 576g

576-216 = 360g = .794 lbs

.794 lb / (7lbs/hp) =

I've gainded 0.11hp!!!! ;)

I didn't really do it for the hp, but I'm glad there was a gain there too!

Jason

Nice...

Chris.

I immediately started checking out the bolts that I was changing to these in aluminum. Thanks for the link. Logical? Not one bit...

Thanks
